Nice write up! I wonder who his early 70's peers who sparked his interest are? ;-)
In an exchange of Facebook messages with the owner of the Bethlehem Sands Event Center (where Glenn played this past May), he said they were working on getting Don to play there and to 'stay tuned'. For what that's worth, which is probably nothing in terms of anything being announced soon.
Here's an interview with Don about his upcoming show at the Revel.
Says Bernie may appear on the History of the Eagles tour.

The article also says his new album is coming out in May.
He says Bernie is the only former member being considered.
Well, May sounds Okay to me, at least we have some idea of when it will come out. I was beginning to give up on that album, thinking it may not even happen!Quote:

Great to hear from Don about this, finally! :applause:

New Radio Interview with Don
http://www.wmgk.com/shows/andre-gard...tryID=10495316
Really great long interview. Just finished listening to it. He talks about the tour, the dvd, his new album which is called "Cass County" & it is country, or alt country.
He also says he is working on a book, but it will be a few years until it's out.
TK -- VA posted this last night as it was going on in the Press on New Album thread. Whole discussion there if you want to hop over there also and join.
OK, great, I just saw it this am on FB, & put in here because the interview covered a lot of topics! I didn't see it in the other thread. Thanks:thumbsup:Quote:

There are many drummers considered a "drummers' drummer" renowned for their virtuosity, technical skills, and showmanship. I like to think that there is another category - a Great Musician who uses a drumset to make beautiful music. Drummers in this second category are often overlooked in favor of "the fastest, most blazing, cutting edge" players. This is understandable, for we idolize those whose solo virtuosity entertains us while advancing the art. However, rare indeed are musicians like Don Henley, Ringo Starr, Ole Brunkert, Levon Helm, et al, whose musicianship is expressed in phrasing, beats, dynamic range, accents, rolls, fills and pauses, as part of a perfect and impeccable musical whole. Their body of recorded work stands timeless, their style of playing so deceptively simple as to be virtually inimitable.
I love hearing other people recognizing his talent!!!
Ah, a very nice sentiment!
I think it's dead-on.
yeah I've always thought Don was extremely talented since I was a little girl. I remember thinking how amazing it was that he could play the drums AND sing lead when I heard/saw Hotel California on MTV/VH1. I had played around with drums a little in music class and there's so much coordination needed!
And Levon Helm was another one, but I actually knew about Don first.
Last week Don attended a sold-out Zombies show in Dallas.

Very cool!
Yep - I bet the Zombies thought so too! :wink:
How awesome would that be to have Don Henley show up at your gig? Cool indeed!
nice picture and so cool that he was at their show:headbang:
Don dressed well for that, he's looking good.
Very good interview with Don about the documentary and his upcoming solo album.

LOL that is quite alright Tiffany. Yeah I love this website and sometimes I forget how much I actually posted on here. Geez two months and have way too many posts. LOL. You guys are pretty much the only people who I can talk to about the Eagles (well besides my family of course).
That was a great interview, thanks for posting, VA!
Quote from the interview: "I’m not interested in penning a slimy tell-all. That’s already been done."
Succinct. And accurate.
Very.Quote:

Something he can do in his 80's or 90's. Until then, he can just keep on doing what he's doing.
heard on wmgk today Debbie calton talking about " cass county" and don henley after she opened her show playing Hotel california
It was so cool to hear that song(my favorite ) and all about DOn
hubba hubba dh:thumbsup:
Mike Scheuchzer from the Christian band MercyMe tweeted this a little while ago, I have no idea why. I follow all the band members of MercyMe on Twitter since they are probably my favorite band behind the Eagles, so when I saw this I had to blink a few times.

I know I'm aware of how good Don Henley is! ;-)
I've heard of MercyMe, they have good taste. ;)
A little bit from Joe Benson's The Question Is from earlier this week.

This contains a cute story about how singer Jana Anderson wound up backing Don Henley and appearing on Inside Job. She also talks about Don's intense work ethic. This is all in the first eight minutes if you don't want to listen to the whole thing, as she talks about a lot of different topics and of course the main focus is her own music.
