Bit hesitant to post here, but this seems to be where the discussion is.

At present we know nothing of Deacon's songwriting ability. He can sing and play, but in terms of going out on his own he needs songs. There has been discussion in the past that many artists who don't write their own songs, e.g. in C&W.

I suspect that there will be a Deacon Frey album at some time. But, probably some time in the future. As said above, he has time to work on it.
