Editorial Review:
Album Description: Japanese reissue packaged in a limited edition miniature LP sleeve.
Amazon.com: Henley--arguably the most talented member of the Eagles--had toyed with playful pop hooks on his I Can't Stand Still solo bow in 1982. Two years later he got down to business on this brainy, politics-themed sophomore disc, which indicted his native Hollywood as venomously as 'Hotel California' once did. Surfaces were still somewhat glossy--there's no denying the foot-tapping elan of 'Boys of Summer or 'All She Wants to Do Is Dance.' But the vitriol roiling just beneath those surfaces was deep, intellectual stuff. Henley, as he continued to prove with the more eloquent The End of the Innocence a few years later, is someone his fans can neither underestimate nor predict. Can we say the same of Glenn Frey or Randy Meisner? --Tom Lanham

Obviously, given the overall talent of The Eagles, it's safe to say Don Henley is talented. But that's an understatment. 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.

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 ...

I bought it because I love "Boys of the summer". Thats all. 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.

This album has always in my opinion been Don Henley's best work ever. But for years I was disappointed in the poor sound quality of this album on CD. Finally, we get a 24-bit remastered version of the classic album and it sounds leaps and bounds better than the unremastered version. All of the tracks have a vastly improved sound but it's the remastered version of "Boys Of Summer" and "Sunset Grill" that blows me away. If you like Don Henley's music you'll want to pick up this one!

ACTUAL MILES, AND BUILDING THE PERFECT BEAST cd's ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT TRUTH WHICH SET YOU FREE, AS 'ALL SHE WANT'S TO DO IN DANCE' IS A DAVID BOWIE MUST COVER SONG. BLUE JEANS AREN'T MADE FOR WOMEN WHO REFUSE TO REMAIN FEMINE. LET'S NOT FORGET WHOM OUR FOCUS AND SPIRITUAL SONG'S ALL COMES FROM, AS IN OBEDIENCE TO "THE GARDEN OF ALLAH." NEVER FORGET YOUR 'FUNKETELECHY' AS DELIVERED BY GEORGE CLINTON AND DON HENLEY, FOR SOME ARE ANGELS UNAWARE.
