Glenn Frey Working on New Solo Album!

[sodascouts]

I was looking for info on Dinah Washington & discovered that she released an album in 1954 titled "After Hours With Miss 'D'". However, there isn't a track on the album called 'After Hours'.

The "After Hours" track we're familiar with was written by Glenn and Jack Tempchin, so if it's indeed on the album, it wouldn't have been something Dinah Washington had sung.

If you haven't heard it, here it is (I'll take it down as soon as we discover for sure he's releasing it):



That being said - interesting coincidence!

[GlennLover]

Yes. I just posted because of the coincidence. I remembered that Glenn & Jack wrote it. I was looking at Dinah Washington's discography. There are a lot of familiar songs (at least to me, but I'm no spring chicken). It' anybody's guess what song Glenn picked. BTW though, Dinah is way before my time, LOL!

[sodascouts]

Sorry for telling you what you already knew! Oh well, maybe it'll be helpful to others, lol.

I have a subscription to emusic.com, so I checked out Dinah Washington on there and bought a couple of her songs. I'm typically not into that type of music but I'm going to give it a shot!

I hadn't heard that. Thanks Nancy! I hope it's on there.

It sure will be a different flavor than The Eagles! Glenn sounds very..... loungy (I don't think that's a word! lol) KWIM? Give him a cigarette and glass of wine or scotch to hold while he's singing aka Dean Martin! lol

I should post one of the photos I call 'Lounge Lizard'. I always thought he had the persona to do this type of singing.

[sodascouts]

I'm loath to use that kind of "lounge singer" description for Glenn because it has such a stigma to it.

[Freypower]

Well no, that isn't what he is, but it's understandable that the association should pop up however briefly.

I'm not really hearing the "lounge lizard" thing.
I'm hearing a really sweet remembrance of a simpler time of love not lost -- but misplaced. Music to my ears. . . . . . What a sweet song. . . . .

Glenn himself stated on The Mark & Brian Christmas Special 1997 that 'After Hours' was written for The Allnighter album, his "martini & black tie period" & he said "this sounds very lounge lizard". When I first heard the song it struck me as sounding that way, but without the negative connotation, although I would normally attach that connotation to the term in most other instances.

'After Hours' is such a beautiful song that I couldn't possibly associate any negativity to it .

I hope Glenn tones down the self-deprecation when he promotes the new album.
