Glenn Frey, the guitarist and co-lead vocalist for the Eagles, released his second solo studio album, The Allnighter, in 1984 on MCA Records in the United States and the United Kingdom.

The single “Smuggler’s Blues” significantly impacted popular culture, inspiring an episode of Miami Vice by the same name. Frey made his acting debut in this episode, further boosting his profile. The music video for “Smuggler’s Blues” won Best Concept Video at the 1985 MTV Video Music Awards.

The production team for The Allnighter included producers Allan Blazek and Glenn Frey for all tracks, with Barry Beckett co-producing tracks two, three, and eight.

Art direction was handled by Jeff Adamoff, with illustration by Dave Sizer and photography by Jim Shea. The Fitzgerald Hartley Co. managed the album’s release.

Released: June 23, 1992

Glenn Frey released his fourth solo studio album, Strange Weather, on June 23, 1992, through MCA Records. Despite receiving favorable reviews from critics, who considered it an improvement over his previous work, the album failed to gain commercial traction. It did not chart on the Billboard 200, and none of its singles reached the Top 40. The single “Part of Me, Part of You,” previously released as part of the Thelma & Louise soundtrack, peaked at number fifty-five on the Billboard Hot 100.

Glenn Frey provided lead vocals and backing vocals and played multiple instruments throughout the album. Jay Oliver handled extensive instrumentation and programming, with additional contributions from Robbie Kilgore, Mike Harlow, Scott Thurston, Benmont Tench, Mark Goldenberg, Jerry Scheff, Kenny Aronoff, and Lenny Castro.

Saxophone solos were performed by Al Garth and Chris Mostert. The Heart Attack Horns, consisting of Bill Bergman on tenor saxophone, Greg Smith on baritone saxophone and arrangements, John Berry Jr. on trumpet, and Roy Wiegand on trumpet, also contributed to the album. Backing vocals were provided by Rosemary Butler, Valerie Carter, and Bobby Martin.

The singles from Strange Weather had varying degrees of success. “Part of Me, Part of You” reached number fifty-five on the Billboard Hot 100, number nine on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and number seven on the Adult Contemporary chart in 1991. “I’ve Got Mine” peaked at number ninety-one on the Billboard Hot 100 and number twelve on the Adult Contemporary chart in 1992. “River of Dreams” reached number twenty-seven on the Adult Contemporary chart in 1992, and “Love in the 21st Century” reached number twelve on Billboard’s Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart in 1993.
