Details: Amazon.ca With Inside Job, Don Henley--the Voice Of AOR--returns, proudly married-with-kids and armed with another polished state-of-the-zeitgeist summary of the moral preoccupations of his baby-boom generation ... or at least its winners. This is intermittently haunted by human frailty ("Damn It Rose"), corporate culture ("Workin' It"), environmental issues ("Goodbye To A River") and lives of "too many blessings" ("My Thanksgiving"). As uniformly serious in tone as it is pristinely rockin' in intent, Inside Job is the first release in a decade from the quintessential California music industry insider, following ten years of charity work, a monster Eagles reunion and the odd legal wrangle. Sure to be respectfully and profitably received regardless, it nevertheless strives for fresh musical energy, driven by Henley's pop-rock instincts and pedigree collaborators (Stevie Wonder, Glenn Frey, sundry Tom Petty sidemen and Randy Newman, whose savage, mischievous satire is repeatedly echoed, in tamer fashion, in tracks like "They're Not Here, They're Not Coming"). Predictably, family matters loom large in the ex-hedonist's universe, with "Taking You Home" and the oddly resigned-sounding "For My Wedding" weighing in on the side of commitment and a self-loathing, witchy-woman-dissin' "Miss Ghost" in the opposite (hotel room) corner. Nevertheless, Inside Job's "lessons of humility" are more frequent than we've a right to expect of anyone whose previous band's Best Of sold 26 million copies. Even if, when Henley decries a world of "no authenticity, no sign of soul/The radio won't play George and Merle", you can't help thinking it's because radio's still playing the Eagles' "Hotel California" on continuous loop. --Jennifer Nine Product description Inside Job
