A crisp live document of Henley's early 90s peak, blending cynical social commentary with the high-gloss precision of world-class session musicians.
1993 · Kiss The Stone
This album captures Don Henley at a fascinating crossroads, where the high-gloss production of the 1980s meets the more grounded, introspective songwriting of the early 1990s. As a live compilation, it strips away some of the studio artifice to reveal a band of incredible technical proficiency. The sound is expansive and professional, evoking the feeling of a massive outdoor amphitheater at dusk, where the air is still warm but the shadows are lengthening. It is the sound of a man who has seen the inner workings of the American dream and found them wanting, yet expresses that disillusionment through some of the most melodic and well-crafted rock of his era.
