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

Just listened to "Train in the Distance". Good song. The instrumentation reminded me of James Taylor's music and I couldn't shake the mistaken thought that I was listening to Henley cover a Taylor song.

OK. The world premiere of When I Stop Dreaming was on the CMT Hot Top 20 Countdown. I just watched it, it was a nice video and cute. Dolly and Don look nice in in their black. I just remembered that Dolly is only a year older than Don.

Watching the video, the song might grow on me after seeing the video. Its not as bad as the single. The vocals were great even Dolly's. I love the end. Its too cute.

It might be available on Don's website and YouTube very soon. I hope this video is played a lot on CMT and GAC.

Yeah - I think I like Train in the Distance.

Okay - I'm definitely ready to hear the whole album now. I'm one that still likes to listen to an album start to finish. Sometimes the sequencing of the songs changes my perspective and can influence how I feel about a particular song and the album as a whole.

ETA: And scottside thanks for the info about the two bonus tracks. We appreciate everyone keeping us posted with whatever updates you receive. You never can be sure how reliable info is that comes out over the internet, but, at least if we know about it, all of us hardcores can usually sort it out.

Each time I hear a new song, it becomes my favorite. Cass County will definitely be a great album. I love Train in the Distance! It and Praying for Rain are my 2 favorites for sure. Both hit home with me.

Daym Dolly looks fantastic! She had to of been standing on a box, she's as short as I am he's as tall as my husband was & I reached his shoulders.

Now I lived this version of the song so much more that the audio version. Black works so well on Don & just the right amount of scruffiness.

Just noticed he seemed to be checking Dolly's considerable "assets" when she is singing her verse.

I just listened to "Train in the Distance" for the first time, and I think it's my favorite so far. Don's voice and the harmonies sound great, and I adore the lyrics, especially the part about making friends with your angels and demons 'cause they're with you all the way (obviously not an exact quote). Knowing Don, I'm sure the "promises to keep" line is a mindful quote of Frost's poem. I think each song I've heard I've liked a little better than the last. My least favorite is "Take a Picture of This". For some reason, it doesn't resonate with me, and it reminds me of another song (I don't think by Henley or the Eagles), but I can't remember what it is.

Can't wait for the album, and I'd LOVE to see the video of Don and Dolly. Hope it's up on his website/Youtube soon!

Thanks everyone for keeping us updating on all this exciting news!

When I clicked on that link I got an error code.

[shunlvswx]

That's weird. It comes up when I click on the link. I was going to get the link from Don's facebook page, but its the same one I posted.

[Freypower]

I tried it from there too, and it still didn't work. I will have to wait for it to show up on YouTube.

As for Train In The Distance, it's pleasant enough, but I can't say I loved it.
