Eagles member Don Henley is reportedly in Nashville working on a solo album of country songs with Stan Lynch of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers fame. The collection would be Henley’s fifth studio album as a solo artist and his first since Inside Job (2000).
“Stan is one of my best friends, my son’s godfather,” Henley tells San Francisco magazine Diablo. “We work together often and are currently co-producing my next album, which will be a collection of country songs – originals and covers.”
Though unconfirmed, Ronnie Dunn and Alison Krauss are rumored to make guest appearances on the project. There is no word yet on a release date. Henley is also slated to appear on the upcoming Brad Paisley album This Is Country Music, which is due out April 19.
