Don felder road to forever


Road to Forever is Don Felder's second solo album, the first since 1983. Road to Forever, was released October 9, 2012.

Rolling Stone (France) called Road to Forever “one of those timeless albums, cut to ride on highways, which we love to know still exist.” while Musicradar.com said: “The album’s 12 cuts are heartfelt and direct, a catchy and soulful musical autobiography that steers clear of mawkish self-indulgence. And Felder’s guitar playing – rendered with but a fraction of his nearly 300 instruments! – is as stirring as ever.” And Premier Guitar praised: “Felder is back with his trademark guitar choirs and hooky riffs.”

Contributors to the album include Randy Jackson, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Steve Lukather, David Paich and Steve Porcaro of Toto and Tommy Shaw of Styx. It was produced by Felder along with Robin DiMaggio.

The album was conceived and written out of the pain Felder felt following the breakup of his marriage in 2000; and his dismissal from the Eagles soon after.

On December 17, 2013 the album was reissued as "Road To Forever - Extended Edition" on the iTunes Store and Amazon MP3 Store. Two of the four bonus tracks ("Can't Stop Now" and "Southern Bound") were previously only available on the Japanese pressing of the CD. "Sensuality" had been an iTunes Store-exclusive and "She Runs Free" had been an Amazon MP3 Store-exclusive. "Give My Life", which is the final track on the CD, remains the last track on the Extended Edition, and appears after the four bonus tracks. The single "You Don't Have Me" made it to #1 and stayed in the top ten for 11 weeks on the Classic Rock Radio charts and the previous single "Wash Away" reached #4 between Eric Clapton and The Rolling Stones.
