ACTUAL MILES: HENLEY'S GREATEST HITS features 10 of his solo hits, plus two new recordings "The Garden Of Allah" and "You Don't Know Me".
Every one of once-and-future Eagles vocalist Don Henley's solo hits, plus two new tunes and an overlooked cover version of an old Leonard Cohen songs are included on ACTUAL MILES.
One could question the validity of a greatest hits collection that draws from only three solo albums, but with the rampant success of the Eagles' recent reunion, Henley saw fit to compile this retrospective personally. He could have done much worse. The songs still stand up over time, and the thematic sequencing of ACTUAL MILES serves the selection well. The collection also features a pair of previously unrecorded tracks with "The Garden Of Allah" being the more interesting of the two. ACTUAL MILES serves as a decent primer to anyone who wants to hear Henley's hits but wishes to eschew his actual albums.

Editorial Reviews
...arrives at a moment when it's useful to remember that, along with Bruce Springsteen, Henley is one of just two '70s superstars who've managed to maintain a career as a great singles artist for grown-ups. - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (12/01/1995)

4 Stars - Excellent - ...provide[s] the soundtrack to the Hollywood dream while simultaneously flaying that dream alive...

    Actual Miles: Henley's Greatest Hits is a nice collection of Don Henley's hits as of 1995. If you are a fan of Don - try it out.

      A Classic in Many Ways

    Let's be honest. More of us love this music despite our hesitance to admit such a thing in the presence of the younger set. Luckily for us, we can sneak in an oldie into our iPod playlists without drawing too much attention to ourselves...

    But when the blokes in charge of the music's distribution decide not to release it on iTunes, you'd better hope you haven't thrown out all your old CD players or forgotten how to rip a disc.

    So, flashback with me. Both with the music of a past era as well and the means we're forced to revisit to get a hold of it.

    Great music by a Master, Mr. Don Henley. You won't be disappointed with this one. The compilation of songs that you sometimes forget that he has done and when you do hear them, it brings back memories.

    I bought this CG to replace the same one I had that was scratched.
    It has all of HENLEY'S GREATEST HITS, even though there are two on there that were previously unreleased.
