(19) Don Felder - Road To Forever (2012)
Former Eagles member Don Felder will release his first album in 29 years and only the second solo album of his career, "Road to Forever", on October 9 via Rocket Science Ventures. The album was produced by Don Felder and Robin DiMaggio and includes guest appearances from David Crosby, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills, Steve Lukathar, David Paich, Steve Porcaro, Tommy Shaw, Randy Jackson and others. Felder conceived the album after his firing from the Eagles, the ensuing lawsuit and the divorce from his wife of 29 years. During the period he wrote his autobiography Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001), and a number of songs. Felder said he was inspired to “write out the stories of my life as songs. After I collected myself, I found I needed to go out and play music again, and that’s how I began recording the album. In the process, I found out who I really am. I had to find out what happened when I almost lost it all.” As you may expect with the musicians involved most of the songs have a West Coast AOR sound but there are some curve balls in the mix. None more so than ‘You Don’t Have Me’ featuring wonderful vocal arrangements and stellar guitar playing. ‘Give My Life’ is a gentle song with a heartfelt lyric. Don Felder shows his guitar prowess on the rocking ‘Girls In Black’, a cheeky number like ZZ Top meets the Eagles! He doesn’t hold his punches at times like on the song ‘Money’, an attack on the financial woes of many in the US
