Don Henley Rocks
A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++. This cd is great I don't see why some people are complaining about him talking about the government who cares people like him should express themselves how they feel and how the government can imporve because the government don't make things right sometimes, I Love Don Henleys music Great Cd.


no problems, as expected
The seller shipped quickly and in good packaging. This product was a good price and arrived in good shape.


One of the best albums ever....
But that's an understatment. Obviously, given the overall talent of The Eagles, it's safe to say Don Henley is talented. This album features "The Boys of Summer", arguably one of the best songs--and videos--of the 80's. Check out his other solo work, and expecially listen to "Long Road out of Eden", the new Eagles ablum. Henley's voice will resonate through your soul.


Don Henley - Not His Best But A Good One
Yes his music is fairly pedestrian, and he appears to be an average drummer, but I think his lyrics are often extremely clever and he has always been a great singer. Henley seems to take a lot of flack from people with similar musical tastes as my own, but I have always thought he was a great songwriter. Up until the early 80's Henley was best known for being the drummer, singer, and songwriter for The Eagles. After The Eagles broke up in 1981 Henley went solo and had a very successful run of radio hits and platinum albums. "Beast" is his second solo record and although I think his next one was better this one was still solid. Several huge hits came from this album including "Boys Of Summer", "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" two songs that though massively overplayed were pure pop gems. Other highlights include the country tinged "You're Not Drinking Enough". The title track "Building The Perfect Beast" is full of patented Henley social commentary. My favorite song on the album, "A Month Of Sundays" is a song about a farmer loosing his livelihood in the Regan era 80's. This is the kind of track that Henley does best and it really works here. "Sunset Grill" is another great song and serves as a kind of sequel to "The Sad Café" from The Eagles "Long Run" album. Henley gets plenty of help on this album from well known musicians including most of Tom Petty's band, Lindsay Buckingham, Charlie Sexton and others. This is not Henley's best album, but it has quite a few really good songs on it. .


Not favourite but its OK.
Thats all. I bought it because I love "Boys of the summer". Others songs are good but to be honest it is not kind of music that I like. So if You like rock, whatever it means, you are gonna enjoy it.
