Sixteen songs are in the can.

Speaking to Andre Gardner of WMGK in Philadelphia, Henley disclosed that the record, Cass County will be released in May. Henley said the album “leans towards country. Some of it’s traditional country, some of it is what you might call alt-country, and I’ve got a lot of interesting guest vocalists and musicians on there with me. I made a lot of the album in Nashville. Some of it was recorded here in Dallas and some of it was recorded in Southern California. I’m pretty pleased with it.”
