Dec 14, 2015I'm just going to saw that this album was not for me. I really didn't find any enjoyment in it outside a couple songs. Take a Picture of This was certainly a great song but old time country is just not my cup of tea. Even if it is Don Henley singing it. I have no doubts in my mind that some people will find lots of joy in Cass Country but to me it was a boring listen.

MojoOct 27, 2015Henley's discourses on ageing and feeling adrift in the modern world are poignant, and, on A Younger Man, painfully well observed. [Dec 2015, p.93]

Oct 6, 2015The cover of Tift Merritt’s Bramble Rose is affecting too, a stately country shuffle that finds Henley trading verses with Lambert over pedal steel and mandolin, while Jagger blows harmonica and sings like a cat pleading to be let in from the rain. At other times, the album is less successful, particularly when it falls back on weepy honky-tonk tropes.

Oct 2, 2015At the album’s best, Henley conjures up the push-pull between restlessness and contentment in a way that jibes well with the musical interest in the traditions of the genre. At its worst, the album makes me want to throw it out the window, either for the cliches or more often the way the persona of the album comes from a lecturing place of “wisdom”; an I’ve-lived, so I know attitude.
