Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer’s First And Latest Solo Albums To Be Reissued On Vinyl And CD
Available From Rhino On November 15
LOS ANGELES— As the Eagles’ acclaimed Sphere residency continues in Las Vegas, Nevada, Rhino will be reissuing two of Don Henley’s solo albums this fall—his first, I Can’t Stand Still (1982), and his most recent, Cass County (2015).
Both albums will be released on November 22, with pre-orders available now at donhenley.com and Rhino.com. I Can’t Stand Still has been remastered from the original analog tapes and will be available on CD, 180-gram vinyl LP, and digitally. Cass County will be available as a deluxe, 16-track version on CD and as a double 180-gram vinyl set.
With the Eagles on hiatus, Henley released his first solo album in 1982, the gold-certified I Can’t Stand Still. The record included the smash hit “Dirty Laundry,” a sharp critique of the media that launched his solo career and established his voice as a singer-songwriter. Listen to the remastered version of “Dirty Laundry” HERE.
More than 30 years later, in 2015, Henley returned to his country roots with Cass County. Named after the Texas county where he grew up, the album features collaborations with legends like Vince Gill, Merle Haggard, Mick Jagger, Alison Krauss, Martina McBride, Dolly Parton, and Trisha Yearwood, among others. Cass County debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, earning praise for its authenticity and heartfelt songwriting.
Best known as co-founder of the legendary rock band the Eagles, as well as an influential solo artist, Don Henley has maintained an extraordinary commitment to music and various philanthropic efforts throughout his career, including a dedication to environmental issues and artists’ rights.
Raised in a small East Texas town, Henley was drawn to the sounds of exotic music broadcast from distant radio stations in New Orleans, Nashville, and Ciudad Acuna, Mexico. These stations introduced him to the blues, bluegrass, gospel, jazz, and rock and roll, paving the way for his future as an artist.
As a solo artist and member of the Eagles, Don Henley has received countless accolades, numerous gold and platinum records, and performed sold-out concert tours worldwide. A highly-respected musical artist, Henley launched his solo career in 1982 with his debut album, I Can't Stand Still. 1984's Building The Perfect Beast followed with four hit singles, including “The Boys Of Summer, which earned Henley a Best Rock Vocal GRAMMY® Award. The artist's track record continued unabated with 1989's The End Of The Innocence, which yielded three more hits, including the title track, and brought Henley another Best Rock Vocal GRAMMY Award. Henley is a founding member, drummer, vocalist, and songwriter of the Eagles. The group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and continues to perform sold-out concerts all over the world.
Formed in 1971, the Eagles pioneered a uniquely American musical style, blending elements of country, folk, R&B, rock, and pop. Since then, it has become one of the most creative and commercially successful bands of all time. Despite today’s fractured rock ’n’ roll landscape, the Eagles retain a timeless appeal that transcends both generations and genres, solidifying the band’s status as a musical icon.
The Eagles have sold more than 150 million albums worldwide, scoring six #1 albums and five chart-topping singles. They have earned six GRAMMY® Awards, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, and received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2016. Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 stands as the best-selling album in history (certified 38x platinum), while Hotel California ranks as the third best-selling U.S. album in history (certified 26x platinum).
