Press and Discussion about Don's new album(s) in progress

[Troubadour]

OMG, there's more?! Thank you! I suppose I can afford to stay up a little later to listen to this...

[VAisForEagleLovers]

WE HAVE AN ALBUM NAME!! Cass County!!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

He still has two songs for the album that he's working on, and there's 16 songs so he needs to figure out which ones to cut out. It'll be out in May, no date given.

He gave Randy Newman a lot of kudos.

He's writing an autobiography and it'll be a 'few years' before it goes anywhere. His tone of voice, to me, implied that 'few' is a lot more than three or four.

The History of the Eagles tour is not set in stone, apparently. If they do it, of course they'll have a stop in Philly.

The DVD will be out the third week of April (which we heard before, so that's consistent).

Timothy is healthy, dodged a real bullet, and he's doing just fine, no problems there.

Sometimes I wish they wouldn't make pronouncements before they make final decisions. Don was the one who said at Sundance that they would start the tour in June. Of course he will want to tour his own album but why....

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - as I said at the time of the press conference at Sundance - these guys can be date-challenged. When they throw out a date I always take them with a grain of salt and try to never get my hopes up until I hear an official release date or official announcement in the case of tours.

[RebeccaLovesEagles]

He's writing an autobiography (how am I just hearing about this & i never thought he'd write one out of all of them) and he wonders if it will sell. I'd buy it. Can I order my now. I hate the whole date challengeness of the band, though i'd probably have a hard time meshing all those schedules too. Oh Welll, patience is a virtue to bad its not my virtue.

All in all great interview.. So much to dream about i the future....

[TimothyBFan]

With those of you who are talking about the "if we tour...." "not set in stone...", etc.... It's a bit frustrating when you hear something that gets your hopes up and then hear out of one of their mouths, "IF..."

Noticed that Don said, "at least one former member...." So I'm not going to rule out an additional member somewhere.

Loved hearing him actually say "Timothy is fine now....". We had read it several places but to actually hear Don say it!!!Woo Hoo!!!

Best news from the interview that I got excited about was the whole working on a book thing. Yippee!! That's him and Glenn. Again, we know how fast they work on some of this stuff but still something else to look forward to.

I received a message last night when a certain Borderer (not mentioning any names but if she wants to come forward....) was listening to this and was so excited hearing his voice, she said she was almost in tears.... I can totally see why. He's not only one of my favorite vocalist but I love hearing his talking voice. Yummo!!!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

In the interview, Don said some of the songs were 'traditional country'. I know there's quite a few of you who aren't into country music, but you have no idea how excited I am about this!!!!!!!!!!!! I so hope this comes out in time to be part of a Mother's Day gift to my mother!

It is nearly impossible to listen to country music these days and hear something worthwhile. It'll be good to get my hands on something I already know will be worthwhile.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - when I first read about Don's interview in this thread, I totally missed the part about him working on his autobiography. So when I was listening to the interview and he mentioned it, I almost peed in my pants. I can't wait to read this and Glenn's too. Now, we need to hear from the other guys.

VA, as you know, I'm one of those that is not a big fan of country music so I'm not quite as thrilled about this, although I already knew that was the direction Don was going with this album. However, I actually like some country songs and acts (can we say Keith Urban) so I'm going to withhold judgment until I hear the album. I can't imagine that I'll detest it - I mean, after all, Don's voice alone has to make the songs listenable for me. In any event, I'm happy that it looks like it's going to finally see the light of day.
