DON FELDER, the iconic guitarist best known for his time with the Eagles, is set to release his highly anticipated fourth solo album, ”The Vault (Fifty Years of Music)”, following the success of American Rock ‘n’ Roll in 2019. This new album marks a unique milestone in Felder’s storied career, offering a stunning collection of newly recorded versions of songs originally demoed over a span of five decades.

The album’s title reflects this expansive journey through time, blending timeless rock anthems with heartfelt ballads in a way that only Felder can.
What sets ”The Vault” apart is the incredible roster of musical giants that have come together to lend their talents to the project. Felder is joined by true rock royalties including David Paich, Steve Lukather, Joseph “Joe” Williams, and Greg Phillinganes of Toto, renowned drummers such as Greg Bissonette, Brian Tichy, Todd Sucherman, plus Timothy Drury, Nathan East, Nina Winter and Lenny Castro, among others. Their contributions bring a fresh, dynamic energy to the music, enhancing Felder’s signature sound and bringing new life to these songs.
In addition to the previously unreleased material, The Vault also includes a newly re-recorded version of “Heavy Metal,” Felder’s classic hit from his 1983 debut album Airborne and the soundtrack of the 1981 animated film of the same name.
With its perfect blend of high-energy rockers and introspective, emotional ballads, The Vault (Fifty Years of Music) is an impeccable, melodic rock release that showcases Don Felder’s enduring legacy as one of rock’s most influential and skilled guitarists.
