The Vault CD

Released May 23, 2025 - Frontiers Records

The Vault 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.

From the album opener, “Move On,” a song from 1974, to “I Like the Things You Do,” written as recently as 2023, The Vault offers a comprehensive look at Felder’s rich musical history. 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 royalty including David Paich, Steve Lukather, 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.
