The Garden of Allah (song)

The Garden of Allah (song)

"The Garden of Allah" is a song by Don Henley, released as new material on his 1995 album "".

It is presented as a modern-day fable in which Satan, presumably visiting the Garden of Allah resort in West Hollywood, California, discovers he has become superfluous: humankind has perfected evil and no longer requires his assistance in it. The song references the media circus and unscrupulous expert witnesses involved in the O. J. Simpson murder case.

Sheryl Crow provided background vocals for the song.
