Glenn Frey Working on New Solo Album!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

As they say, great minds think alike! Just yesterday I had been wondering what the cover might look like. I was thinking along the same lines as the rest of you. I am partial to tuxedos, having been in the men's clothing business many years ago & having a lot of experience with formal wear. I remember reading a trade article on tuxedos which stated "looking at a room full of men dressed in tuxedos is like looking at a room of naked men". I love the idea of having the tie undone & the shirt open at the neck. The grand piano is a must & the rose completes the look. And yes, loose the cigarette! It doesn't have the same connotation today (at least for me) as it did years ago. I don't know about everyone else, but I really don't know how I am going to make it to February (I pray no later) without going off the deep end in anticipation!!!!!!

The loose tie and unbuttoned shirt would be great for an encore.

Well I hadn't posted in this thread yet, partly because I was off of the board during most of these posts and partly because I didn't want to put a damper on everyone's enthusiam. I basically said the same thing in Don's thread about his upcoming album that I'll say here. I'm not a huge fan of this kind of music (no matter what you call it) so the idea of this doesn't send me over the edge with excitement. However, I'll keep an open mind and, hopefully, be in for a pleasant surprise.

Now having said that, I did think The Shadow of Your Smile was absolutely beautiful when he did it in Niagara Falls. And ... if he were to include My Girl, I'll Come Running Back To You, and I Hear You Knocking then I may totally change my mind.

I think that if the spectrum of songs covers the time period from the 20s to the 60s then he won't include a lot of 60s songs. I in fact hope he doesn't include those songs because I want to hear something different.

I was reading in Rolling Stone that Irving suggested to Lindsey Buckingham that they release his new album themselves. I wonder if Irving has suggested something similar for another of his clients. It seems logical.

I wouldn't at all be surprised. Remember that in the nineties, Glenn actually formed his own label called Mission Records with the late Peter Lopez and had planned to release a solo album on it. Then, the Eagles machine kicked into gear again and that album never materialized. However, now that he's got a new project in the works, why not take the same type of approach? This is especially true since distribution is so much simpler thanks to the much-maligned but world-changing invention known as the internet.

I just saw on Jack Tempchin's FB page that the unreleased song After Hours that is posted on GFO is going to be on Glenn's new album.

Cool! Thanks for spotting that!

Oh brilliant! I think we were all hoping it would be!
