iTunes Review
Listening to Building the Perfect Beast, a newcomer to Don Henley's work might never have imagined that as part of the Eagles, he'd been a key player in making country-rock a part of the mainstream. Beast had the feel of some great lost back-to-the-land epic, but transplanted to 1984 Hollywood. There, banjos had less currency than the latest synths and drum machines. Henley and co-producer Danny Kortchmar used guitars more as layers between the newfangled stuff, creating a rich sound that made the singer-songwriter's meditations ring with authority. The biggest hit was a romantic cry, "The Boys of Summer," but the greatest track was the sweeping "Sunset Grill." Here Henley made a "Hotel California" for the whole country, but still rooted in L.A. In an era of great radio pop, it was a standout among standouts.

No video?!!!
by trome99Don Henley won Best Video at the MTV Awards for Boys of Summer. It was a beautifully shot segment in black-and-white which fit the song perfectly. Can't believe iTunes doesn't have it. What is this place being run by? A bunch of Gen-X'rs?

by mere2345I LOVE U DON HENLEY!
Very Solid
by Minkey716Bought this cassette tape in the 80s and still love it. Beyond the 3 big hits, check out You Can't Make Love, You're Not Drinking Enough, and the heartbreaking A Month of Sundays. Some of Done Henley's best work ever.
