Press and Disussion about Don Henley's new album Cass County available Sept. 25, 2015

F50, too funny! You had to eat your own words!

Steve J, I am enjoying it immensely so far and I'm not a huge country music fan. I've only had time to listen a couple times. One thing I do know, it is quality country music with quality singers and musicians. Would we expect anything less of Don Henley? Nope! I really expect it to do very well for him. There are a couple songs that don't really sound all that country though, to me. That's good! I need a few more listens!

. That's a complete 180 right there, F50.

Count me as one who loves the album as well. The more I listen to it, the more I love it. Last night's vinyl listen was something else entirely. I really can't describe it.

I love love love the album. That's an underestimate. I have my cd copy in my CD player in my car. I download the cd to my computer and I have it on my itunes on my Iphone. It was a pain in the butt to get the songs to my phone. If the CDs that are giving to us free from ordering tickets part of album sells, he could get gold album.

I was looking at some of the places Don is playing at last night just to see how well the tickets were selling. I don't know how accurate it is, but he has sold out in 3 cities. (like I said I don't know how accurate it is because the tickets weren't showing up). At the other shows, their are a lot of seats left, but it was very scattered around the arenas and theater. So this tour could be successful. I really hope its very successful so Don can add a few dates next year.

Thanks guys. The quality of the music and recording is obviously beyond question, as anything DH does will be. I am hoping to find a physical copy here and so far I only have the iTunes download to go on. I had 4 albums on pre-order on iTunes which all came more or less in the same week, the new DH, new David Gilmour, Shawn Colvin and Keith Richards, and the DH was the one of the 4 I seemed to get into the least. I guess I just need to be in the right mood and give it a proper listen. I should also know that the albums I love the most and that have stood the test of time for me are the ones I had the longest courtships with...

Hope you don't mind me asking, but what do you think of Gilmour's new album? Most of the reviews I've read have been mixed, although I am a huge Floyd fan and am aware that The Endless River didn't get the best reviews either but I did still enjoy it.

I haven't listened to Cass County yet apart from Take A Picture Of This and That Old Flame (I liked both, but preferred the latter), it's sounding good though from the reviews I've read so far so I'll definitely listen to the album sooner rather than later, probably in the next week or so.

Loving the new Gilmour. I find it more... lively... than On An Island. Some great songs. Superb production too.

Here's an interview from CMT.

Soda, It is now again available on the Target website--I ordered it a day or so ago when it became available again. So sorry you had to drive so far to get it; maybe this post will help someone else! (Definitely not a plug for Target.)

When I access the site, it says "shipping not available" and it only allows in-store pickup. Is yours getting shipped to your home?

Here's what I see when I go to the site:



If they're not shipping, those of us who don't live near Target still have to make the drive.

If they're shipping in some states but not others... well then WTH is that about???

So glad you are enjoying the records! They have a wonderful and loving home!

I had heard that the new 180-gram vinyl LPs have a clearer and sharper sound than CDs. Seems that more artists are releasing vinyl versions of their albums. Who knows - maybe the 8-track or cassette may make a comeback, too.

[NOLA]

Well, I LOVE it particularly since it arrived at last and guess who had signed it???? My man himself!!!!!

Congrats, DD, and glad it arrived safe and sound! That makes two of us who now own treasured copies of the "first 100."
