“Joe Walsh is the hero of this song story. In June of 2011, when I asked him if he wanted to record something for the tribute he said, 'Count me in. I should do something from Souvenirs - probably "Part of the Plan" but I'd like to do them all.' He did record Part of the Plan: he played all the instruments except the keyboards and he sang the lead vocals and harmonies before it was decided that the rest of the Eagles would join him on the track. Unfortunately, in July of 2013 they were at the beginning of their ‘The History of the Eagles - Live in Concert’ world tour, and it was slated to go for a couple of years.
Joe emailed us from all over the world, saying he had the tape with him and he would try to get the guys into a studio in London, Australia, etc. In December of 2015, Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmidt recorded their vocals and sent them to Joe and on February 3rd, 2016, the last track was finished. For his credits, Joe wrote:

ya know, dan fogelbberg was truly one hell of a musician and singer/songwriter, definitely doesn' come close to getting the recognition he deserves.

nitty gritty dirt band & richie furay - run for the roses - very nice, very very nice, furay blends well with the dirt band and musically it is really well done.
boz scaggs - hard to say - the best song on the album, so far, never thought scaggs voice would fit fogelberg but this is excellent, he picked the right tune for sure.
be back in couple of hours..........

the eagles - part of the plan - you should know going in that it is much more like a joe walsh solo effort with the eagles on backing vocals
jimmy buffet - there's a place in the world for a gambler - a lot like the garth brooks thing above, almost identical to the original
zac brown - leader of the band - live, yes, live. just an acoustic guitar and some harmony vocals..........it's OK, nothing great.
so there you have my review..........i will tell you that i will not be buying this new, someday used, maybe for the right price.
i think they missed an opportunity to do something really special here, something that could have called attention to just how good dan fogelberg really was, as it is, this will probably be lost in the christmas shuffle and wallow away in obscurity.
