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

Normally, you can pre-order fairly close to the release date - which reminds me to caution that just because you pre-order doesn't mean that you will get the album any sooner. As a matter of fact, sometimes you don't get it until after the release date. That's why I usually just wait and go to Walmart or Best Buy to purchase albums on the day of their release.

ETA: VA - you and I were replying at the same time. FYI - I've pre-ordered albums early before and still didn't receive them until a week after the release date.

I've always gotten them either ahead of time or on the date itself if ordering from the Eagles website (or Joe's). Glenn's was delayed because the vinyl was backordered, and it was drop-shipped from the manufacturer later. It's only been when ordering through Amazon or Walmart that it was after the release date. Of course, I've always ordered the very moment a pre-order could be done. This has been true of other artists who use LiveNation as well, on the release date.

Like Soda said, as a caution, grndctrl doesn't always have their act together and can screw up an order regardless of release status.

I must admit that I've never preordered anything myself. The closest I've come to doing that was ordering something from the UK because it came out a month earlier there than here in the states. (Bad Company's limited edition 40th anniversary collector's pack. I got it the day before the US release, took 4 weeks to get here).

Anyway, like I said above, I wanna preorder it so that I know that I'll have it eventually. Surely, it'll arrive before October 4th! (which is I'd be able to buy it from Walmart). Plus, I want the t-shirt bundle! (Which I know that I can afford to buy in September).

I hope that Don (or his record company) will release the album on Spotify (usually that's done the same day as the release). That way, I can still listen to it, even if the order is delayed or late.

I think the album will be release on Spotify because TAPOT and TOF is on Spotify.

I looked on YouTube just now. TAPOT had over 20,000 hits and TOF had over 17,000 hits. That may not be a lot, but that's not bad for two songs that only been out for 2 days.

[AlreadyGone95]

Well, that makes me feel better. At least I'll be able to listen to it one way or another!

And 2 years Shun?

[shunlvswx]

I changed it. I always do that. I would type 2 years and I meant 2 days or 2 weeks.

I changed it. I always do that. I would type 2 years and I might 2 days or 2 weeks.

I make that mistake myself, lol. Plus, since I'm on my phone 90% of the time, autocorrect likes to "correct" things that shouldn't be corrected.

A review! Apparently, David Gilmour released a new song yesterday as well, and this self-proclaimed Classic Rock critic listened to the songs, and gives his take on both David and Don, and is honest in saying he generally doesn't care for new music. In short, David seems to have 'phoned it in'. Don, however, got a great review. Of course

Thank you very much for posting this VA. As the author is a big fan of both the Eagles and Pink Floyd (sounds somewhat familiar...) I can relate to him quite easily.

I haven't heard David's new song or either of Don's new songs (will get around to doing this though!) although his review of David's track sounds similar to the kind of reaction I've read elsewhere and the reaction to Don's new material on here makes me feel optimistic.
