Ancora elogi della stampa statunitense all'album, in uscita questo prossimo venerdì, 'CASS COUNTY' di Don Henley.
“Henley has made an album of quietly defiant pure-country modernism…Everything in the music serves the sting and solace in the tales.” – Rolling Stone

“**** All your ears will want to listen to for the rest of 2015…16 impeccably crafted tunes”
– US Weekly

“To paraphrase an old Bono aphorism: The Garths, Keiths and Kennys of the world stole country-rock, and now Don Henley's stealing it back.” – NPR

“Henley hasn't made many adjustments in his lyrical preoccupations — regret and acceptance, the passage of time, love's fading and bloom — so the album is still more about taking the Long Road Out Of Eden than dirt roads. The real shift is in a degree of acoustic instrumentation not heard in his work since The Eagles' classic sophomore album, Desperado.” – NPR

“Cass County, named after the underpopulated area of Texas where Henley grew up, evokes a lonesome state of mind…” – NPR

“Henley plays to his traditional ballad-singing strengths, albeit with a pinch more dobro and mandolin adding a sense of Southwestern regionalism to the mix.” – NPR

“world-class cameos…Pretty much every living female country voice you've ever loved puts in an appearance, either as a duet partner — in the case of [Martina] McBride, Miranda Lambert and Dolly Parton — or a featured harmonizer (Lucinda Williams, Lee Ann Womack, Trisha Yearwood, Alison Krauss, Ashley Monroe, two out of three Dixie Chicks). He also finds room to squeeze in menfolk Vince Gill, Merle Haggard and Mick Jagger.” – NPR

“Cass County is Henley’s Texas record, a return to his roots with Henley invoking memories from his formative years in Linden, his hometown in East Texas.” – Garden & Gun

“To move forward, he has gone back, using a different setting–his hometown of Linden, Texas, 16.00 miles from Malibu–as the musical jumping-off point for his first solo album in 15 years.”
– The Wall Street Journal

“It’s everything you would hope for in a Henley album – wonderfully crafted lyrics with profound observations and powerful metaphors, flawless production and that distinctive voice – but with greater reflection and grace than ever before.” – The Tennessean

“Don Henley’s Country-Rock Homecoming” – Rolling Stone

“the songs stretch from country and blues to rock and Americana, the kind of organic blend he’s specialized in since the Eagles’ early days” – Rolling Stone

“named for the northeastern Texas county where Henley was born... the album is true to his roots.” – NPR

“‘Train in the Distance,’ about lying in bed at his grandmother’s house and dreaming of a different life…features haunting harmony vocals from Lucinda Williams” – Rolling Stone

“[Cass County includes the] common-man anthem, ‘The Cost of Living,’ featuring Merle Haggard, the sobering ‘Take A Picture of This,’ about the dissolution of a baby boomer’s marriage, and the poignant ‘Words Can Break Your Heart,’ featuring Trisha Yearwood”
– Billboard

“the haunting ‘There’s A Train In The Distance’…details the restlessness that Henley felt growing up in Texas” – Billboard

“star-studded” – Billboard

“the genre-defying album is well worth the wait” – The Tennessean

“he proves you can go home again.” – The Tennessean

“Cass County draws on the variety of musical styles coming over the airwaves on stations like KWKH-AM out of Shreveport, La., which broadcast the Louisiana Hayride barn-dance show where acts like Hank Williams, Kitty Wells, George Jones and a young Elvis Presley performed, and New Orleans' WNOE-AM, which introduced Henley to that city's R&B sounds.”
– USA Today

“star-studded solo set” – USA Today
