Building the Perfect Beast is the second solo studio album by Don Henley. The album was released on November 19, 1984 on the Geffen label. A commercial and critical success, it is generally regarded as the culmination of the smoother, more adult-oriented sound of Henley's solo work.

Bulding the Perfect Beast releases Henley from his old band's reputation. Damn near a perfect pop album - and a popular one to boot. His commercial breakthrough defined his solo formula with songs like 'The Boys of Summer' and 'All She Wants to Do Is Dance', which responded to political and romantic breakdowns. Don Henley Born and raised in Texas (he attended North Texas State) Henley was taken under the wing of country superstar Kenny Rogers in 1970. Rogers encouraged him in the creation of his early band Shiloh and in California he teamed up with Glenn Frey as part of Linda Ronstadt’s backing band. That was the catalyst for forming The Eagles, once Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner were hired to complete a legendary quartet.
Don Henley's second solo album is the sound of Los Angeles singer/songwriter pop in the mid-'80s.
