Editorial Reviews

Unavailable in the U.S.! Import collection of solo recordings by the former/future Eagles member. In the '80s, shortly after the Eagles' split, Glenn Frey's solo career was as hot as his former bandmate/sparring partner Don Henley. Features 12 tracks including 'You Belong To The City,' 'Smuggler's Blues,' and 'The Heat Is On.'

5.0 out of 5 stars The acid test, May 29, 2001

I bought this based on Glenn Frey being a former Eagle, and the fact I liked a few songs, such as Smugglers Blues and Sexy Girl, with the hope that it might have some other good songs maybe in the Eagles vein.

I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of material. There are a number of high quality songs on this album such as The One You Love and Soul Searchin, and You belong to the city. Soul searchin also features some great harmonies reminiscent of The Eagles, but delivered by a female gospel choir.

So far it has passed the acid test, which is that I can listen to the whole album while driving my car without pushing the skip button once. That makes it a quality album in my book.

How does it differ from The Eagles? The production values are as good. The music itself is different, there is more use of different instruments such as the saxophone. I would say it is a little more progressive. The songs are very good. I highly recommend this album.

I hope you find this review helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Edgy Eagles member with his best '80s hits, March 19, 2005

I still consider Glenn Frey as the edgy Eagles member--always taking chances with what he sings and performs. This album does a good job covering his 80s period of solo hits. I love The Heat Is On, Smuggler's Blues, True Love, All Nighter, Sexy Girl and others. But my favorite is You Belong to The City--perhaps the most 80s-sounding record, from the lyrics about neon lights to the rumbling keyboards, the dramatic bridges around the 3 minute part of the song and the Miami/South Beach song landscapes that helped spawn the Miami Vice tv show. There are no shades of other decades' influences in this song--this is a very 80s song in the attitude and decadence of that decade. Glenn Frey's best solo record to me. Frey shows shades of R&B in his voice on the rock driven album and he sounds so good at it. Next to Stevie Nicks, he's the next best second act in pop music following a 70s supergroup's huge success.

Great blend of Frey's best work! A great CD that's hard to stay within the speed limit while listening & driving. Glenn's strong voice and the tenor sax interludes on most songs are outstanding! If you find this CD - buy it because "The Heat is On!!!!"
