Dated and Lackluster
Album Rating: (1 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: I read Felder's book, so I felt compelled to pick up this CD. Aside from a few solid tracks, this is woefully dated and and lackluster. Only Eagles completists should contemplate paying for this CD

Great Solo Flight For Eagles Guitarist




Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: AIRBORNE, the only solo album by Eagles guitarist Don Felder, is great. The songs are instantly hummable, and the grooves rock like sort of a West Coast blend of War and Grand Funk Railroad. It should be noted that this album includes "Never Surrender", which was also on the soundtrack to the film FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, one of THE coolest teen flicks ever. This album is an all-time classic that just gets better with time.
Good, but not his best

Album Rating: (2 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: His best work is on the Heavy Metal sound track.
Not like an eagles album

Album Rating: (2 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: If you have listened to a lot of eagles stuff, you'll notice a couple things. A. Don Felder is a HELL of a guitarists, and B. his vocals are mostly in the harmonies.
Airborne still has that really good guitar. But the guitar does not cut this album, after the first two minutes you'll realize that you really didn't care that there is great guitar. Felders underproduced sometimes pitchy vocals are somewhat annoying.
The album is produced awfully and things simply aren't mixed well. There are no stand out songs and evrything sounds the same. There is a lot of synthetic instruments playing so the album is pretty dated.
The album has it's moments, and I feel that most eagles fans would like adding this sick rarity almost inaccessible CD to you're collection, but this disc sounds nothing like the eagles and really has no point.
Typical Don Felder




Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: That's right it's typical Don Felder! Which of course means it's great! This entire album has the same flavor as one of the coolest rock songs ever. Don's big contribution to the Heavy Metal soundtrack "Heavy Metal(Takin' A Ride)" It truly reflects in such songs as " Bad Girls" which most Mtv fanatics from the Eighties would know the video featured Cheech Marin of Cheech and Chong fame. Then there's the song "Never Surrender" which also features Kenny Loggins on vocals which makes the song sound very commercial but it's one of those that you'll continually hum just out of the blue. Most of the album has this flavor to it. I played the heck out of this tape when I had it and wore it out. Now it's on cd and I recommend it to anyone who collects cds. It's a must have!
