Don Henley is working on a new solo album and autobiography.

Henley says the record, ‘Cass County’ will be released in May. Named after the Texas county where he was born, Henley said the album “leans towards country. And I’ve got a lot of interesting guest vocalists and musicians on there with me.”

He and collaborator Stan Lynch (the original drummer from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) have been working on the album for three years and so far have 16 songs completed and a few more to be finished before figuring out which ones will make the final cut.

Henley also confirms there are plans for an upcoming Eagles tour. And says the show will focus on the 40-year history of the band, which will bring one former member back into the fold.

He wouldn't disclose the name of the member, but admitted it would not be Don Felder, who had a public and acrimonious split with the band in 2001.

Here are a few Eagles tunes LIVE to tide you over:
