Don Henley has opened up about his forthcoming country release.

He spoke on the release during a listening party in Nashville during the same week as the CMAs, and according to Rolling Stone, Henley was in good spirits about the project.

"It's going to be interesting to see what happens with this record. I have no idea what's going to happen because the musical landscape now is so different," he observed.

"You know, the bar is pretty low."

"The great majority [of recording] was done right here in Nashville and I can truthfully say that I enjoyed making this record more than any record I've made in my career.
And a lot of the reason is because of the people who participated," he added.

"There's some amazing musicians here and the best thing about it is, most of them are funny. So it was a real pleasure."

The new album, titled Cass County, is Henley's first solo release in fifteen years.
