I Can't Stand Still
Listening Party Comments
Memories :: Songs :: Dislikes :: Lasting Impressions
40 people took part in our very first solo listening party. They reported their ages as being from 14 to 101 (though we suspect the oldest respondent was actually 50). Here's what they had to say about this album:
because it remind me a nice
period in my life
[Samira, 24]
Young, Wild and Free
[Monstertone, old, Sioux City]
I bought this record after
hearing "Dirty Laundry" on the FM dial. It wasn't until I heard this record that
I had the revelation that most of the Eagles songs I really liked were
Henley-sung songs. I was just around 19 when this one came out...while my
friends were listening to the likes of AC-DC, here I am crooning along with Don.
Needless to say, I often listened to it alone.
[Brad, 40, Kelowna, BC, Canada[
I remember in 1982 being a
huge Eagle fan and fledgling musician and anxiously awaiting Glenn Frey's and
Don Henley's solo LP's.
Frey's was good but Henley's was perfection. I spinned that disc more than any
LP I ever played. I thought Henley's voice at that time was the finest
instrument on the planet.
[Brian, 35, Boston]
It took me about 2 years to
find it on Vinyl in the UK. I eventually got it still in the wrapper. Nice!
[Python, 20, UK]
I was just starting
college...so of course they played Dirty Laundry a lot..easy to dance to when
you are falling down drunk you know. But I think that the memory that I think of
most was that I was kind of sad. I was mourning the loss of the group (The
Eagles) and it made me sad to know that Don was moving on with his life and
leaving the Eagles years behind him. I felt much the same way when I bought
Glenn's first (No Fun Aloud). I was very discouraged that they were not
recording together anymore. Now, looking back, it seems rather silly, but I did
feel that way at the time.
[Lonestarbeth, 39, Texas]
When I listen to this album
now, it reminds me of my "early Eagles Years"- about two years ago ;).
I had just found out, that Don Henley was married and being a teenager I was
desperately singing along each verse of the title track, replacing the "when
he's holding you" by "when she's holding you". It's a little embarrassing now,
but still I am proud of saying that this record was the first Eagles solo record
I had (and I found it on vinyl few weeks ago *cheer*)
[Sarah, 18, Neuss, Germany]
I think this is his best
solo album to date.
[David, 35, Valencia, CA]
I just remember being so
happy he was recording again. It seemed like forever since the Eagles broke up &
this
[Debbie, 48, Wilmington, DE]
The clearest, and most
amusing if you're British (!) memory is Dirty Laundry aligned to Mr Clinton's
indiscretions around 97-98. Its always been a great song, but it seems to gather
strength as each year passes and the media tightens its grip further on our
consciousness.
As a teacher, Johnny Can't Read also makes me smile - I know PLENTY of Johnnies!
[James, 25, Isle of Man]
I started writing about how
I was at college in Lancaster when this came out and the record shop I went to
was called 'Ear 'Ere Records... But then I remembered I was at school when this
came out and I was actually remebering Building The Perfect Beast. Oh well, I'll
tell that story another time. I have absolutely no recollections of when I first
heard this.
[Joe B, 18!, England]
This album makes me
happy, because I remember being very little and listening to my parents run to
this album. Their headsets would be quite loud, and they'd be dragging, and then
a miracle...Dirty Laundry! Bring on the greatest hill, put me beside the fastest
runner, I can do it now! :)
[Cindy, 16, Franklin County, VA]
as a long time fan of the
eagles i was usually first in the queue to get whatever solo albums were
released. i remember vividly this being released in late 1982 as i had just
started my first job. good memories also of a lot of school pals some of whom i
have not seen since.
[Mike, 37, Dublin]
i was really glad to see
post eagles music...as always don had something to say...he is still saying
it...
[Mike V, 50, Houston]
it was the summer of 1982
and "Johnny can't read" was the first single released in advance of the album. I
recall the local fm deejays spinning this a lot. i was always in the car driving
and heard almost all of the music I heard there. it was a simpler time for sure
and this album along with Glenn Frey's NO FUN ALOUD were my companions
throughout the summer and autumn of that year. I loved them both for different
reasons...
[Scott, 48, New Jersey]
After 'The Long Run', I kept
waiting for the new Eagles album which of course never came. Instead, I was in
the record store and saw two albums promoted side by side, "No Fun Aloud" and "I
Can't Stand Still". The big competition between Glenn Frey and Don Henley!
I bought both. I remember feeling scared because I thought, "How can these guys
live up to the quality of the Eagles?"
My first impression was: "I know why the Eagles split. Don and Glenn's first
solo efforts are sooooo different. Glenn's is filled with saxophone love songs
and Don is filled with biting commentary. These guys are polar opposites.
So my first impression was simply this: the parts add up to a greater whole,
(Don and Glenn together produced the fantastic Eagles songs, but apart they
could never produce an Eagles' like song). I had to come to grips with that.
Listening to Don help me see that the lyrical substance of the Eagles came from
him and the sweet melodic and care-free Motown came from Glenn.
My first impression of "I Can't Stand Still" was disappointment, but now, the
album had grown on me as one of Henley's best, especially in terms of ballad
writing.
[Steve, 45, Washington State]
It reminds me of the time I
purchased it, Ģ2.99, what a bargain!
[James, 28, Manchester, UK]
Iīll thought that Glenn
would make it big and was kind of worried about Donīs solo career. To my big
surprise Don made that super album and Glenn didn't. When Glenn was looking
backwards, Don was looking at the present and the future on such issues as
politics, music business and the social awareness.
[Jocke, 40, Gothenburg, Sweden]
attending college in upstate
new york around the late 70's the eagles were not cool punk was the rage. no
eagles music played at frat parties. when I bought the album I was amazed at the
social commentary from Henley. i lent it to a few friends they liked it too.
[Dan, 43, Massachusetts]
The first time I heard any
songs off of 'I CANT STAND STILL', I was watching the Inside Job DVD, and the
first song is 'DIRTY LAUNDRY'. I remember thinking how true to life the song is,
and laughing at the knowledge Don had 20 something years ago to write this song,
because the news coverage has only gotten worse. Like Mr. Henley has stated
before, all the news people have been sent to "Smile School!"
[Ashley, 14, Dallas]
This album will always
remind me of summer. I remember listening to this album sitting on my porch in
the summer, late one night. It was very peaceful and beautiful. I don't get many
nights like that, but no matter when or where I listen to that album I feel like
I'm back on my porch, at night.
[Heather, 29, New York]
Well to be honest with you I
didn't even know who he was when that album came out. I did know who the Eagles
were but that's as far as it went~ It wasn't until End of the Innocence came out
that i had developed my own sense of good music. I didn't actually buy the album
until around 94'. Its a great album as is the rest of the albums he puts out~
[Nikole, 24, Boston]
I love this record because I
was about 12 when it came out. I had just recently heard Desperado(the song) on
Casey Casem's top 40 as a dedication, and fell in love with the Eagles. I bought
Greatest Hits I, and played it dutifully. I hated all current music, because it
paled in comparison to the Eagles.
One day I heard Dirty Laundry on the radio, and liked it. I decided to give in
to my oath not to like new music, and I bought the cassette at my local Wal-mart.
I swear, I had no idea that Don Henley was one of the lead singers from the
Eagles!! I brought the cassette home, and after hearing the whole thing, I
finally realized this was the same voice as the Eagles (Duh!) I guess my 12 year
old ears weren't very astute. Anyway I was so thrilled, that this record will
always be special to me. It is a classic.
[Todd, 31, Missouri]
This has a lot of meaning to
me MY father brought
this home to me for my 13th birthday He wasn't a eagle
fan ; someone gave this album to him and he gave it to me. He didn't know it
would change my life. After this one I went out and got eagles greatest vol.1
And it just
grew from their.
[Mark, 34, Orlando, Fl]
Rarely, has the pain of
infidelity been so succinctly expressed
[Chas, 41, Glasgow, Scotland]
It is a very good sang
[Samira, 24]
You
Better Hang Up
Rocker with great vocal and lyrics
[Monstertone, Souix City, Old]
Henley really hits the mark
vocally on this track. I also love the fact that he sings about broken
appliances and broken dreams with the same passion. A real gem.
[Brad, 40, Kelowna, B.C. Canada]
The harmonies at the closing
of Long Way Home (Don and Timothy B.) are immaculate.
[Brian, 40, Boston]
Oooh! A New groove. A New
Henley Surely this wasn't the guy with the cowboy hat singing songs about
Peaceful Easy Feelings this is tough and arrogant.
[Python, 20, Wales]
Feelings this is tough and
arrogant
[Leeqa, 24, Bahrain]
You have to ask....OMG...Don
can melt my heart so easily with this song. I live in Texas...just a few miles
from where Don grew up. And to know that this song is reflecting his feelings
for this area, and how he felt as a young man growing up here...everything about
this song is just so true to life. If you sit outside at night, you can hear
everything that Don says in the song...trucks rolling down the
road...whippoorwills song...frogs...the breeze blowing thru the moss growing on
the huge cypress trees in the swampy land around all of the creeks in the area.
This is just an example of how accurately Don can express everything that he has
seen over his years. I know of no other song-writer in history who can express
so much in so few words.
[Lonestarbeth, 39, Texas]
When Don Henley does this
song on Inside Job live and the audience stands up to cheer after he's hit the
highest tone, this is a great moment.
The lonely part: Goodbye, rodeo... my, there are tears in my eyes. This song is
so emotional and personal and I loved it from the minute I first heard it.
[Sarah, 18, Neuss, Germany]
This song just seems to be
the most heart-felt on the album. Also, on the "Building the Perfect Beast,"
tour Don performed this in concert. Needless to say, it was perfect. I saw him
perform in Irvine and at the Universal Amphitheatre in Universal City on that
tour.
[David, 35, Valencia, CA]
For whatever reason, this
has always been my favorite song on this album. I bought the 33 way back when,
and nearly ran the needle through the wax (or vinyl) on that song. The
loneliness of the lyrics, as well as the beautiful walking bass, getly
resonating through the music creates a picture of longing and lost love. I feel
that this is Henley at his besy: skipping the politics and nature-boy theme, and
sticking to what he does best, which is painting beautiful pictures with his pen
and voice.
[Mitch, 39, Scottsdale, AZ]
I just love the lyrics to
this song - it's always been by favorite. I just wish I could see him perform it
live - it's never on the setlist when I've seen Henley in concert.
[Debbie, 48, Wilmington, DE]
No one can beat Don when it
comes to ballads. The part when He sings over the piano and drums after the
bridge gives me shivers like nothing else.
[Lars, 39, Gothenburg, Sweden]
All too infrequently Don
lays aside his political/moral stance to concentrate on what I believe is his
truest forté: pure, sensitive balladeering (see Desperado, Saturday Night, Loves
Rules). Talking To The Moon is one of those rare uncut gems - achingly beautiful
whether you're crying into your beer, your tequila or simply a diet coke - this
song speaks to everyone, and you get the impression on EVERY listen that Don has
had the experiences in the song himself.
[James, 25, Isle of Man]
When I listen to that song
my memory goes back to my youth and my home village. We were a happy family then
and still are. Don sings about his hometown Linden and I think in that song he
sings about his youth.
Forgive me for my bad English.
greetings from a big Eagles-Henley fan
[Rien, 52, The Netherlands]
It is just so full of meaning, whenever I am feeling down, I love to listen to
this song. I am upset that it never became a big hit for Henley, it should've.
[Mike, 18, Canton, OH]
I love this song because of
the tune and the format. Starts off with a verse which is fairly normal. It's 2
sentences long but sung in 3 stages (When the hot September sun down in Texas /
has sucked the streams bone dry / and turned the roads to dust.) But the second
verse is a slightly different tune and it doesn't scan the same as the first
verse. It's still 2 sentences but this time sung in 2 stages (The only thing
that breaks the silence / are the trucks a passin' by). AND THEN... when you're
expecting the chorus or going back to the first verse format, you get another
change! It scans differently again and it's a slightly different tune. ("The
lonesome whippoorwill" in case you were wondering where I'm up to). Then at last
we get the chorus - Lovely! But then we get the different middle eight leading
up to the instrumental. This is a popular songwriting ploy. But after the
instrumental, you're expecting a chorus? A repeat of the verse? Nope! We get "So
goodbye, rodeo" Totally different tune again. Then we finish off with a couple
of chorus' but not content to just do that, Don starts singing it a couple of
tones higher. I love this song. I'd love to hear it sung live just accompanied
by a piano or maybe just a good acoustic guitar player.
[Joe B, 18!, England]
The melody is splendid, and
the arrangement sophisticated.
[kudzujam, old, Atlanta]
I chose this as my favorite
because of its sheer beauty, but could easily go with any of the others.
[Linda, 47, New Orleans]
This is one of the all-time
greatest ballads ever. Don's voice is highly underrated. I think everyone can
relate to this song, and you can apply it to anyone you've loved and lost in
your life.
[Cindy, 16, Franklin County, VA]
brilliant lyrics; savage
contempt for the media in crystal clear percussion; fantastic vocal performance;
[Mike, 37, Dublin]
it speaks the truth about
people....
people love it when you loose........
[Mike V, 50, Houston]
one of Henley's most
scathing lyrics while at the same time being an instant classic. this is still,
to me, one of my favorites of all of his solo works. it has great vocals, an
incredible arrangement and it ROCKS!
[Scott, 48, New Jersey]
The media impacts all of us,
whether consciously or unconsciously. When Don came out with this song, it put
together some feelings of mine, not because I personally had been maligned by
the media, but because of good people that were trashed for the sake of
sensationalism.
The sharp drum and the driving bass line and the penetratingly harse vocal say
to the listener: 'Listen to this song! My point of view can't be ignored.'
The Walsh solo is incredible, the organ is haunting, the song is simply unique
and creative and I love new kinds of sound from an established vocalist. Don hit
a home run with this one.
Also, don't play this song around little kids. My little daughter went to church
one Sunday into the nursery singing, "kick them when they're up, kick them when
they're down". Not a good idea.
[Steve, 45, Washington State]
Fantastic groovy song, Don's
best, it even has a Joe Walsh guitar solo! Oh my....
[James, 28, Manchester, UK]
The rhythm part with the
bass, the synth, Jeff's drum part. The first guitar solo AND the message. In my
opinion, one of the best songs in the eighties and that made me really happy
because Don also wrote on of the best songs in the seventies (HC).
[Jocke, 40, Gothenburg, Sweden]
Actually it's the only one I
know!!!! It's really gritty - a real concert thumper and typical of Henley when
he's in his Pxxxd off mood. He can spit this one out to the audience with real
cobra venom when he wants to!!
[Winslowboy, 18 sometimes, Hull UK and Tucson AZ]
I think that "Dirty Laundry"
is a song that is just as relevant today as it was when it was first released.
When I first heard this song I felt that Don was right on the money in his
description of the media. I was only in my early 20's when this song was
released but I can remember feeling very disturbed at how the media and the
reporting of news had changed.
[Jamie, 42]
i like the title track
because it rocks with so much gusto
[Dan, 43, Massachusetts]
I just like to say what D.
Leary did. I've got two words for Don Henley: JOE "fuckin'" WALSH !!!
[Tuomas, 31, Finland]
Lilah is so simple, and so
broken down and emotional. It's such a touching song for me, and when Don sings
it you can really feel the sincerity in his voice. It goes straight for the
heart, and dives deep into your soul. Lilah is just one of those songs that
after you hear it once, you don't forget it. It will stick with you for the rest
of your life. So tragic, so helpless, so unfair. The song picks you up and puts
you into the situation of that young Irish man, just wanting to say goodbye to
his lover.
[Ashley, 14, Dallas]
When I first bought this
album, Lilah always stood out to me. But, it didn't become my favorite song
until I heard it live in concert. It was such a beautiful song, beautiful
arrangement, and Don's vocals were amazing. It will always be one of those
memories that will stick with me.
[Heather, 29, New York]
First off i love the name~
Well i went to see Don along with Carole King & James Taylor last year. He sang
that song and it blew me away~ I think its the fact that it is telling a story.
His voice is just incredible.
[Nikole, 24, Boston]
I enjoy "Lilah" because
every time I hear the parts "Like every young man, I had some things that I
wanted to say; ere I could begin, you know the world got in my way" Reminds me
of how rebellious myself (and I am sure many other Eagle's fans were also) when
I was younger until I realized that There are the way you think things should
be, and then there is the way they are. I also like it because you can hear the
Irish influence in the song, I once heard that it was a song about a young Irish
soldier singing to his love before he headed off to war.
[William, 24, Russellville, AR]
I love this song because of
it's simplistic complexity. A brilliant lyric (one of Henley's best, imo)set to
a perfect layering of acoustic instruments. This is Henley trying to be Van
Morrison, and succeeding brilliantly. I only wish Henley would have listened to
this song's production while working on Inside Job. This is a song that clearly
is a work of fiction...but Henley makes it sound so personal. Simply a beautiful
song that glorifies the power of love, committment, faith, and lifelong
partnership. Not only is this my favorite off of this album, but it is quite
possibly my favorite song of Henley's, Eagles songs included. Long live this
song, and let's hope the spirit of Lilah haunts our Eagle friends as they
produce their upcoming disc!
[Todd, 31, Missouri]
I love that sensitive shit
man.
[Mark, 34, Orlando, FL]
I know that "The
Unclouded Day" was for his grandmother, but it's a little throwaway, and lacks
the depth of his own material.
[Chas, 41, Glasgow]
What I don't like about this
album is how under-rated it is.
[Brad, 40, British Columbia, Canada]
Some of the songs are just
too pop sounding. I know that Don was trying to find his place in popular
music...but some of the songs are just not up to his standard..In my opinion
that is.
[Lonestarbeth, 39, Texas]
Yes, certainly I am not able
to like Them and Us and Johnny can't read (even though I like the idea of
singing it in French and Spanish
[Sarah, 18, Neuss, Germany]
I could do without Johnny
Can't read. The song just doesn't fit with the rest of the album.
[David, 35, Valencia, CA]
The song "Them and us" are
probably the worse song Don ever recorded this far.It even beats "Sheīs on a
zoom"
[Lars, 39, Gothenburg, Sweden]
The Unclouded Day simply
doesn't fit into the album's raison d'etre for me. I don't know why its there,
and I doubt its one upon which Don looks back fondly. No Don song can ever be
truly bad though because his vocal could carry even the dullest drivel.
[James, 25, Isle of Man]
All of the songs kind of
sound the same, there are few songs on the album that have unique sounds.
[Mike, 18, Canton, OH]
Unclouded Day - YUK!
[Joe B., 18!, England]
I am thoroughly tired of
"Johnny Can't Read," in spite of the awful (and current) truth of the lyrics.
[kudzujam, old, Atlanta]
What is there not to like?
Um, Don...you could have made this 2 discs as far as I'm concerned. So rarely do
you love a solo artist's work as much as the group's, but Don just never did
stick to the rules.
[Cindy, 16, Franklin Co, VA]
it's a very good debut for
don. i spent many years missing the combined efforts of glenn and don's combined
vocals until the hfo reunion. i think these two guys voices were born to sing
together so i dont like the fact that they are not together on this album
[Mike, 37, Dublin]
it wasn't long enough
[Mike V, 50, Houston]
I love the acoustic guitar,
and there isn't much of that on this album. "Lilah" has it some, but I would
have preferred for "Lilah" and "Talking to the Moon" (two great ballads) to have
been recorded with a more acoustic presence.
The vocal on "Them and Us" is like fingernails on a chalkboard, which is
probably by design, to accent the detestable nature of nuclear exchange.
[Steve, 45, Washington State]
Johnny Can't Read may very
well be the low point of music, but the video makes up for it.
[James, 28, Manchester, UK]
There are two things I don't
like about this album. The first thing is Don's vocals on "Nobody's Business."
The second thing is, I personally think this album is very underrated. Whenever
people talk about Don, they always mention "The End Of The Innocence," but
rarely do they mention this album. I personally like this album much more than I
like "The End of the Innocence." The lyrics are beautiful, the music is kind of
raw, which I like, it doesn't really sound like any of his other albums, but
it's still my favorite.
[Heather, 29, New York]
I don't like the name "I
can't stand still" as the name of the album. Does anyone know why he decided to
name it this.
[William, 24, Russellville, AR]
Often lyrically darker
than the Eagles, Henley expands on the social commentary of "The last Resort" to
great effect on "Dirty Laundry", "Johnny Can't Read " & "Them &Us".
Throw in a couple of great love songs and you've got a very impressive first
album.
Greater was to follow, but an emphatic statement of independence and
individuality from Don.
[Chas, 41, Glasgow]
I love the wind pipe stuff
and closing vocal on Lilah. You could loose a lung trying to sing that part.
[Monstertone, old, Sioux City]
I think that Lilah and
Talking to the Moon are the two best songs on this album. And I don't ever
remember hearing either of these songs on the radio. It seems really strange to
me that the songs that I really like the most are not released as singles (for
example, I think that Bitter Creek and Wasted Time should have been released as
a singles). I guess that all of us have our own tastes in music, and mine seem
to go to the mellower songs.
[Lonestarbeth, 39, Texas]
Don Henley was able to put
out a first solo album after the Eagles, which seems all in all very sensitive,
personal and emotional to me. He, in my humble opinion, was the first one of the
Eagles to leave the past behind and do a self assured step forwards. The album
is moreover well done and contains many of my favourite songs ever.
[Sarah, 18, Neuss, Germany]
Song to song, it's a very
solid album.
[David, Valencia, CA]
Seeing DH in concert several
weeks ago made me think of how long his & the Eagles' music has been a part of
my life. I don't know how to explain it other than when I did finally get to see
him again recently it was like visiting an old friend! I just can't wait until
the Eagles tour on the east coast - it will be like seeing a lot of old friends
again! Good things are well worth the wait.
[Debbie, 48, Wilmington, DE]
Bill Withers harmony vocals
an "The Unclouded Day" is soooooooooooooo great.
[Lars H, 39, Gothenburg, Sweden]
It is a great album like all
the others he made
[Rien, 52, The Netherlands]
For a first solo album,
Henley did a great job. This album made him a serious solo act. This album jet
started Henley into the solo artist that he has become.
[Mike, 18, Canton, OH]
The title of this album
seems to epitomize Henley himself: even though he is successful and comfortable
financially, and involved in dozens of non-musical projects, he just can't seem
to give up the road. Go, guy!
[kudzujam, old, Atlanta]
To me, this is Henley at his
best - a perfect mix of social commentary, diatribe, truth, wanton romanticism,
hope and glory. The music refuses to be categorized, a combination of rock,
country, folk, and blues with perfect vocal interpretations. The drum line wraps
around the melody line like perfect jewelry and I become a fan all over again
everytime I hear it. Of course, my favorite Henley album is the one that happens
to be in the CD player at the moment.
[Linda, 47, New Orleans]
"There's three sides to
every story: yours, and mine and the cold, hard truth." This album is just
another testament tothe genius which is Don's ability to take any matter and in
express it in a truly gorgeous work of art. Don is an incredibly intelligent
man. His songs are not only masterful and fun to listen to, they make sense. The
lyrics actually mean something.
[Cindy, 16, VA]
being irish it was great to
see paddy moloney and the chieftains appearing on this album.i often see paddy
around dublin so i feel a connection to don somehow.i also remember seeing don
play live in dublin in 1989 and the version of dirty laundry was electric to say
the least.does anyone out there understand why these guys have gotten such a raw
deal from an awful lot of people.i mean i cannot imagine my existence on this
planet without their music
[Mike, 37, Dublin]
talking to the moon was most
excellent..i finally saw him
sing it live....
[Mike V, 50, Houston]
I think that Henley
shouldn't have relied on Danny Kortchmar as much as he did here. he and Glenn
both got saddled with the same writing partners over the years and I think both
would have benefited (Glenn even more) if they had found other co-writers to
work with back then.
[Scott, 48, New Jersey]
The drums on "I Can't Stand
Still" are fantastic. Henley himself plays most tracks, and he is a great
drummer. I have always admired singing drummers, and when I listen to this album
I visualize Henley singing and playing drums, which definitely adds to the
interest and charisma of this artist.
Listening to ten straight tracks of Henley vocals helped me realize that he is a
solo artist with a future. The vocal recordings are better than any of the rest
of his solo work, except possibly "Inside Job".
"I Can't Stand Still" was written for the average guy, not the famous person or
celebrity, but for the average guy working in a factory or working on a farm.
The songs are commentaries about the struggles in making it from day to day.
Henley, in all of his fame, remembers the small-town person and what life is
like for him. I appreciate that. I love this album because it is about my life,
not someone else's.
further thoughts: The two
ballads "Talking To The Moon" and "Lilah" give this album the personal touch to
it. Having spent some of my years in the South, the imagery of this song, a
small Texas town, fits my experience perfectly. It was like he was describing
Virginia when I was growing up. When Henley did his live dvd concert in Dallas
and explained the background to Lilah, (a young Irishman going off to war), it
reminded me of my father who went off to war himself to an uncertain fate. "I
Can't Stand Still" is the most personal of his albums, which is why he made it
on VH1 storytellers.
[Steve, 45, Washington State]
Don's best solo album!
[James, 28, Manchester, UK]
I love the country touch,
the rocksongs,the ballads and heīs singing is much better than Eagles records.
Itīs really mature and young and fresh at the same time. Here is someone who
hasnīt stop listening to whatīs going on on the radio. Instead of being old and
comfortable, this is a man whose still seeking. And all those wonderful
musicians from rocking Walsh to Paddy and Derek from the Chieftains. It donīt
get any better than this !

this album showed me that
henley was the eagle after glenn frey's lackluster effort i call it addition due
to subtraction.he mixes heartfelt ballads with rockers and political statements
and he honors his irish roots. quite a debut with a lot of help from kootch and
many crack session players

This is pretty good
DH-album. It is better than his next one was.

Don's solo career only got
better after this album, but- I still think it's his polished piece of art.
[Ashley, 14, Dallas]
Just that Don never really
gets his do.He has never relesed a bad album how can you better that?
Thanks Don for doing the work; Your the best.
