Don Felder is set to release his fourth solo album, The Vault β 50 Years of Music, on May 23, 2025, under the Frontiers label. The album marks Felder's first solo project since his illustrious tenure with the Eagles, offering a retrospective look at his extensive career spanning over five decades. The lead single, "Free at Last," is available for listening ahead of the album's launch.
The Vault delves into Felder's vast repository of ideas accumulated since the 1970s. βFor every Eagles song, I would write and record 15 to 17 song ideas,β Felder explains. This prolific approach led to iconic tracks like "Hotel California," "Those Shoes," and "Victim of Love." Revisiting his old demos, Felder unearthed hidden gems that have been meticulously re-recorded and enhanced for this collection. Additionally, several new compositions have been integrated to complement the classic material, resulting in a cohesive and dynamic listening experience.
Featuring an impressive lineup of guest musicians, the album includes contributions from David Paich, Steve Lukather, Joseph Williams, Greg Phillinganes of Toto, Gregg Bissonette, Todd Sucherman of Styx, and others. The opening track, "Move On," originates from Felder's early work dating back to 1974, while "I Like the Things You Do" showcases new material crafted specifically for this project. The Vault also presents a fresh rendition of "Heavy Metal," originally featured in the 1980s animated film of the same name.
The tracklist for The Vault β 50 Years of Music is as follows:
In addition to the album release, Felder will embark on the Brotherhood of Rock tour this summer, sharing the stage with Styx and the Kevin Cronin Band. The tour kicks off on May 28 in Greenville, SC, and concludes on August 24 in Milwaukee, WI, promising fans a nostalgic journey through some of rock's most enduring classics.
