Editorial Reviews
Deluxe edition includes three bonus tracks. 2012 solo release from the six-time Grammy Award winner and founding member of The Eagles. After Hours, a collection of classic love songs from the 40's to the present, is his sixth solo album and first since 1995. It is also a total departure taking him in a whole new direction. The two-and-a half year project was developed out of Frey's passion for the songs and sound of such artists as Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, and Dinah Washington. The exquisite collection of songs include 40's classics such as "Sentimental Reasons" and "My Buddy," and favorites from some of his contemporaries, such as Brian Wilson's "Caroline No" and Randy Newman's "Same Girl" as well as the added spice of the American standard, "Route 66." Frey collaborated with co-producers Richard F.W. Davis and Michael Thompson, both members of The Eagles touring band, to make the record possible.

This is a fantastic cd by Eagles front man Glenn Frey. His smooth voice suits these songs to a tee and it sounds like he's been singing them for a long time. Glenn was always my favorite Eagle and his voice just get's better and better. Get the 14 track deluxe version, there isn't a weak track in the bunch. It would be a waste of your time to list favorite tracks because this album is a modern classic from first note to last. If you're a Eagles and Glenn Frey fan you'll love this. Look out Rod Stewart and Paul McCartney, there's a new kid in town!

Glenn Frey, original band member of legendary rock band The Eagles, is taking a new direction in this new CD release titled 'After Hours'. It's his 6th solo album : has recorded 14 classic love songs from the 40s to present (cover versions of Brian Wilson, Randy Newman, Tony Bennet, Nat King Cole & Dinah Washington for example). It's a fantastic classical/jazz music presentation of these songs by Glenn Frey. My favourite track is Brian Wilson's "Caroline, No" : wonderful guitar, melody & vocals. Other stand-outs/gems/solid tracks include "For Sentimental Reasons", "My Buddy", "The Good Life", "The Shadow Of Your Smile" (slow-tempo track with a beautiful piano & 'jazzy-sweepy' drums), "It's Too Soon To Know" (great saxophone), "Worried Mind" (countryish-jazzy/classical track), "I Wanna Be Around" (great Gibson guitar work) & "After Hours" (title track with wonderful piano & 'sweepy' drums). Great tracks include "Route 66" (up-tempo bluesy/countryish track), "Here's To Life", "The Look Of Love" (pop-ish track, great duet) & Randy Newman's "Same Girl" (orchestral sound with broadway/cabaret vocals). There is no weak track or CD filler in this CD.
On overall, Glenn Frey is excellent in covering classic love songs (in a jazzy/classical form, his first in his solo projects). It's his first CD release since 1995 : a well deserved 5 star performance & a highly recommended CD listening!

I just recieved my CD from Amazon of Glenn's new album After Hours, Wow!!!! This guy can belt out the best of an era gone by. As The Eagles lead Glenn steps away from the country rock we are so used to and does a fantastic job on this one. Give this CD a listen, it's fantastic.

Love Glen Frey, not crazy about song selection
I would buy any CD put out by Glenn Frey as I think he is an American treasure in writing ballads. However, his song selection of old standards to redo just doesn't make me want to... Read more

Easy Listening
This is the album Glen Frey should have recorded years ago. Time continues to prove exactly how talented the Eagles were as musicians.
