The Eagles's Don Henley recently opened up on working with Vince Gill and Dolly Parton on his latest solo effort, Cass County.

"A musical hero of mine was Buck Owens," said Henley while discussing Gill's contribution.

"So, when I wrote that song on the album called 'No, Thank You,' I had Buck in mind.

I thought, 'Who would be great to sing and play guitar on this?' And so I called up my friend Vince Gill, and I said, 'Vince, I got a song here that's kind of a tribute to Buck Owens, and I need somebody to sing the high harmony part.' And he said, 'Well, you've come to the right place.'"

Of Parton, he adds, "That was one of the high points of working on this album, is working with her," he added of working with Parton.

"I love her voice up in that register. It's really sexy. Laughs."

Other country stars on the LP include Merle Haggard, Miranda Lambert and Ashley Monroe.
