Don Henley's long-awaited Cass County album was released on Friday (Sept. 25). The record paired Henley with some of country music's most influential artists, including Merle Haggard, Alison Krauss, Miranda Lambert, Lucinda Williams and Vince Gill, who sang on a song called "No, Thank You."
Don Henley and Garth Brooks were among the artists who helped pay tribute to Billy Joel, one of five performers to receive prestigious Kennedy Center Honors in 2013.
The gala, which took place Dec. 8, was televised on CBS Sunday night.
