The 1984 Listening Post - Glenn Frey - The Allnighter

Glenn Frey - The Allnighter


#158
June 19 1984
Glenn Frey
The Allnighter
2 out of 5

Highlights: Smuggler’s Blues

Take Nick Gilder. Strip him of his smarts and style and ability and guile and you get Glenn Frey’s “Sexy Girl”, a “not child in the city”, if you will.
Take Eagles apart and you are left with…this.
If the album’s treacle didn’t turn you off, the hyper jingo-ism of “Better in the USA” will send you reeling. I never thought I’d long for Al Stewart.
This is just as poor as his debut solo record.
