OK. Looking at the title and who's singing on what, what songs are you looking forward to hearing?

All of them, of course!

I'm debating if I want to get the vinyl to get the 50 page book that goes with it. Nah. 100 dollars is a lot. I think I just take the CD.

I'm going to try to order something tonight after having a good browse. 'Try' because very often these offers are only open to US residents. However if I can't I know I can rely on a few of my friends on the Border to help me out!!

Don's currently back on Eagles duty so I can't see any Cass County developments until August now.

Just shows you how much I know!

Thanks for all the updates everybody. It's always exciting times when new Eagles music is being released.

A Ben for a book and a record? Geez, these guys are gonna put me in a poor house by the time I retire! But, I really want the book.

Thanks for the info, shunlvswx!

I forgot about the tracks. Interesting titles. I see Alison and Trisha are on more than one songs. Its cool he's got two of the three Dixie Chicks. I was shocked on that one because I didn't know they were on the album.

I bought the two songs. I just finished listening to Take A Picture of This. I love love love it. Its not too country, but its country. Great song. I will listen to That Old Flame later.

Can you hear a more mature Eagles song in this one...YEP! It's why I loved it so much.

Thanks for the hint VA.

Don's forthcoming single,Take A Picture Of This was given a spin by Ken Bruce, this morning. 1:57 mins. if you can listen to the iplayer. 1:56 mins if you want to hear the intro. Ken says the album will be released in the UK in October.

Great to hear Don singing on the radio. Wonderful to hear Don singing something new.

After a little more investigation, you can listen to Take A Picture Of This and That Old Flame here:

Take A Picture Of This is a great song. I'm still to listen to the duet with Martina McBride.

[shunlvswx]

OK. I have now listen to both songs. Here's my opinion.

That Old Flame: I love it. I'm glad Martina is not oversinging over Don or overpowering Don. What do I mean? Martina has a very powerful soprano voice. Her voice can really stand out when she hits those high notes and sometimes she can oversing whoever she sings with, but they blend very well together. A great song. I'm glad Don picked her to do a duet with. Martina is one of my favorite country singers. I've been a fan of her music since 1994.

Take A Picture Of This: Wow!!!! Now this is the Don I love. Straight to the heart love songs. Its kinda a history song. Kinda like Taking You Home and For My Wedding. The lyrics are great. Thumbs up!!!

So my overall opinion of the two songs. If these two songs are a preview of what's to come on the album, I'm going to like it. I'm a big country fan. I'm a fan of 80s, 90s and real early 2000s country music (before it became more country pop again). IMO Don is in this category of the country sound of the 80s, 90s and some of the 2000s. I'm really going to enjoy the album. I can't stop playing those two songs especially Take a Picture Of This.

Love them - just heard them thanks to a friend on FB - Think I'm leaning more towards That Old Flame upon first listen but I love the lyrics to Take a picture of this - soooo excited!!!!
