Thanks shun. I'm enjoying listening to Don's Cass County. Favourite so far She Sang Hymns Out Of Tune. Has a hint of Norwegian Wood about it. :)

According to the ASCAP website, https://www.ascap.com/Home/ace-title-search/index.aspx Timothy B. did indeed co-write Waiting Tables with Don, Stan and Steuart. :)

I enjoyed the album. I love it. Other than the other 5 songs(not counting them) I love Bramble Rose(didn't like Mick's part. Sorry. It sounded weird when he started singing), Words Can Break Your Heart, Too Much Pride, Younger Man(I love the lyrics to the song), No, Thank You(I'm a huge Vince Gill fan and always wanted my two favorite singers to sing together. I got my wish. They blended great) and Where I Am Now(a little rocking. He and Trisha sound great on this song).

Thanks from me as well SS.

Only a little over a week to go!:partytime:

(I'm probably going to wait until next Friday to listen to it)

perfect album

Here's an article for Bramble Rose.

I love that he has a lot of records in his head to make. Sounds good to me! :thumbsup:

I'm looking forward to the companion book for the album. Can't wait to read more of Don's insights on making this wonderful record, if they are indeed included in the book.

An article on Cass County. I love the picture. Sharp dressed man.

Another tv alert. Don will be on CBS Sunday morning this Sunday at 9:00am Eastern/8:00am Central. We got a lot of stuff coming up on Sunday and Monday.

I was thinking. I'm loving all the excitement and publicity with Don. I've never been this excitement about one of my favorite singers albums in years. I only follow group non stop and that's the Osmonds. So the Eagles, Don and The Osmonds followed more than any other musician.

Here's an article from Yahoo Music. Nice. He talks more about the women guest singers.

I had to laugh about this. I was 12 & in the throes of my boy crush Donny when my big brother smashed my Osmond Brothers cassette tape & replaced with with his turntable & EAGLES album. I honestly never looked back at Donny after I heard Don sing.

Thanks for all of these links for the TV shows. My dvr is locked & loaded.

Interesting that Don's daughter is doing his hair & makeup.

I always say I was born in the wrong decade(born 1980). All my favorite bands and singers are from the 70s. Its funny that I like two singers with the name of Donald. Donny Osmond and Don Henley. LOL :hilarious: Just like Don, I still haven't seen Donny in concert. Those two are on my bucket list along with seeing the Eagles in concert.

I found this video on Youtube. It previews the deluxe vinyl book. Some nice pictures briefly being shown.

Take A Picture Of This has spent the last few weeks at the top of the BBC Radio 2 playlist. It's still there. As we get close to release date, Cass County is also this weeks Album Of The Week. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/playlist

I think it means Janice Long will be required to play a track from it, throughout the week, during her nightly show.
I don't think Janice is very fond of the Eagles. I'm tempted to tune in. :nahnah:

I went back and read the article. I don't know how I missed that. How cool is that. Don could pick anyone to go on the road to do his hair and makeup, but he picked his daughter. She gets to have daddy time with him when he's not on stage. I wonder if that's what Annabel wants to do for a living.

How cool that Annabel is doing that!



I've been hyped for releases before, but not as much as this one. I guess because most releases I'm the only one that I know of who's really excited.

ETA: I forgot to say that I definitely feel that I was born in the wrong decade. There's a running joke among my family and some friends that my birth year is wrong. It should be 1959, not 1995. :hilarious:

I haven't been around the Border in a while, but oh my goodness am I loving all this press and attention for Cass County!!! I'm just so happy about all this Don in my life. :inlove:

I don't know what products she used on him but whatever she used took years off of his face. That also explains his 'poffy' hair. Isn't it the higher the hair the closer to God big with southern women? Guess she isn't in college.

Its been soo much fun following what appearances Don will be doing. Its going to be very busy this week. Two things on Sunday(one was already recorded), two things on Monday and then his album on Friday which is amazing.

Oh. I want to add an appearance. He'll be on The Ellen DeGeneras show on October 1st. Check your local listing for time and channel since her show comes on at different times and different station. She comes on at 3:00pm in my city.

Isn't she college age? Guess maybe she is taking a break.

I would love to know what products she used on him because she took years off of him. Dang I need those. Wonder if she is responsible for his 'pouffy' hair. Don't southern women say the higher the hair the closer to God!

Personally I liked his tanned look.

Is the took years off his face good or bad? With Don having thin hair, she probably trying to make it fuller.

Yes she is. I think she turns 20 in December. I think the lighting was bad at the Americana words because he didn't look tan in that Gettyimages pictures. The lighting was too dark. IF he had on makeup during the Country Music Hall of Fame interview, his makeup was great there.

Well age is what it is, unfortunately!!! I think it is a good thing. IMHO he looked so much better during the TV portion of the show than the still photo. I am fine with his hair as long as he doesn't go red again. For 68 he looks amazing. Wish I knew what she used. It is neat that he is helping his daughter.

Let me add...Don could sing twinkle twinkle little star in a speedo & a Weird Al wig and I would love it.

My son didn't get a picture of him in the interview. Said for some reason he just felt it was wrong & was a bit in awe of him. Kind of tall & distinguished.

I think I posted pictures in the keynote speaker thread I made for the event. I found them on Instagram.

I think they said no cell phones and their were a few pictures from the event.:hilarious: I guess if you're far away from the stage, you can get away with it and they probably didn't have security during that event to tell to put their camera or phones away. I haven't seen any recording clips from the event, but pictures.

He said security was everywhere.

Saw the photos. Thanks so much & for all of the appearance updates.

Well they weren't doing their works. :hilarious: They never do sometimes.

The two bonus tracks will have Stevie singing on It Don't Matter to The Sun and Alison Krauss on the other one. I saw this on Don's facebook page.

I was going back to this video that Don did on with Chideo a year ago that started everything this year of a possible new album coming out.

Who would had known that Jack Tempchin was right about Don putting Cass County out even though he was watching an old video from last year. Did he know that early this year.

I was also checking for any new Chideo videos. No new videos clips at this time.

I will gladly trade years with you since I was born in 1959. Trust me it isn't as amazing as you think!:nahnah:

I'd gladly give it a trial run. School probably would have been completely different for sure, but considering that my favorite tv show, movie, and 4 of my top 5 bands were released and popular in the 70s, it might be worth it. ;)

Oh, and I concur with what Soda said about Stevie singing on one of the bonus songs!

For those who missed the CBS Sunday morning interview this morning, here's the video.

http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/the-ea.../?tag=facebook

Here's also the transcript from the interview.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/don-henl...-to-his-roots/

Thanks! I have my DVR set to record all of his appearances, but with videos online, anyone can see them! Only a few days left...

Loved that interview!!! :thumbsup:

The little clip, by the camp fire, of Don strumming and singing Younger Man (I think). is the first time I've ever seen or heard Don singing and playing solo unaccompanied. It's a pretty historic event as well as a beautiful sound. I Love that song.

While searching for anything Don Henley on my tv, I found his listed for Ellen DeGeneres show for October 1. I enjoyed this morning's segment on CBS's show.

It was The Cost of Living. I love that part when Don singing by the campfire. So he owns that land where he was at.
