Don Henley kicks off the State Fair grandstand concert lineup

When Texas-reared Henley released his first country solo album, "Cass County," last fall, he probably didn't know that the Eagles would soon be permanently grounded due to the death of Glenn Frey in January. Henley was just exploring his roots on an album full of wisdom and big-name guests, including Merle Haggard, Miranda Lambert and Mick Jagger. The new material will nicely complement Eagles classics and Henley solo hits including "The End of the Innocence." (7:30 p.m. Aug. 25, grandstand, $50-$65.)
