View Full Version : What is your Favorite Glenn Frey Vocal?

I'm talking strictly his singing voice and how much you enjoy it in the context of the song.

My favorite is Peaceful Easy Feeling.

I've enjoyed Glenn's vocals on this song from the first time I heard it on the radio back in the 70's. His voice is very mellow and intimate sounding from the beginning. It really reflects the vibe of the song. Then, in the second verse, his voice gets stronger as harmonizing vocals join in, only to calm back down during the "on the ground" part.

I believe strongly that it's Glenn's vocals on this song that make it such a visual song. Yes, the lyrics are great, but it's that mellow vibe that convinces you that he wants to sleep with you in the desert tonight, and he knows that you won't let him down. ;)

New Kid In Town

Thanks for starting this PM. I have a lot of favourite vocals both Eagles & solo, but NKIT is the one that literally stopped me in my tracks when I heard it one night in January 1977 at a market in Sydney.

There's a little-known song called "This Way to Happiness" (or at least, little-known outside of the fandom) on his Solo Collection which really features his vocal skills. It's a challenging song to sing, but be belts it out with such spirit that you can't help but smile.

UMG has it on YouTube - listen for yourself:

That's a very upbeat, powerful vocal that I've never heard, and of course there's that saxophone!

I don't know Glenn's solo stuff all that well, but it counts here, too.

His cover of Caroline No. the original from the beach boys is beautiful. But he totally did a great job. I cried for hours after hearing it

New Kid In Town and What Do I Do With My Heart.

New Kid IN Town: My favorite vocal part of the song is when he hits that high note during " and you're still around." I always go, "You go Glenn."

What Do I Do With My Heart: I go ga ga when I hear him sing this song. His vocals are so amazing throughout the song. I love when he's singing his heart out during the bridge and going into the last verse. His vocal range gets high during the bridge and the last voice. At mid to late 50s, his voice is still good and still hit those high notes. His voice is amazing when he's responding to the guys and Don during the last verse of the song.

You know, here's the first one that comes to mind: I always have the best time turning up the volume and belting out "Heartache Tonight" along with Glenn and the boys. He was just so much fun on that song! It's so "high-energy!" Makes me happy. :-)

Outlaw Man: I first discovered this song at the age of 14, by accident. I don't remember how I found it, but I do remember hearing it on youtube for the first time and being both amazed, and blosn away by it, the ending verse, especially . I just love the grit and the gruff in Glenn's voice. Glenn really put his heart and soul into that vocal. To this day, Outlaw Man is my favorite Eagles song.


(From Glenn's solo career probably Smuggler's Blues)

I absolutely love all of Glenn's songs, but the ones that are super special to me are: Lying Eyes, Soul Searching, A Walk In The Dark, and What Do I Do With My Heart! They put a huge smile on my face and love Glenn's vocal range in these! These songs got me through some tough times!

When I was little and my dad had "Their Greatest Hits" it was Already Gone (I was born in 1969)

Now AG is #2 to New Kid in Town. Such a special song. Honestly I don't know his solo stuff except for the hits, so I'm happy to hear some songs here I've never heard.

These "pick a favorite" exercises are soooo difficult for me! Each new one that comes on the board makes me think, "Oh, yeah! That one, too!" It's so hard for me to pick a favorite amongst all these songs that I've loved for so long! But I've already answered with the very fun "Heartache Tonight," so I won't try to cheat and throw in "Ol' 55," too, because that just wouldn't be right. :-D

Or "New Kid In Town."

Or....wait, what?

02-19-2016, 11:35 AM
This one is so hard for me too as I love so many of the songs he sang lead on and his solo songs. Like I've said before I was drawn to his voice since I was probably a toddler and at times it was comforting to me. I totally agree about "Peaceful Easy Feeling" and also because as a teenager I struggled heavily with anxiety and depression and that song was one I kept listening to because his voice was so comforting on it (same with George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun" and various other songs by other musicians) and it helped to calm me.

Then I always loved "New Kid in Town" and how the song sounded and his voice on it. "Lyin Eyes" is another favorite as I love how he tells the story,which as a writer I picture a lot of my story ideas to music first and that's a good example of a story already built in the song. Plus, I just love the way his voice sounded at the end when he says "Honey, you can't hide your lyin eyes." LOL "Tequila Sunrise" is a great vocal too, and of course "Take it Easy". Also, "Already Gone" took on new meaning for me once I guy I liked turned out to be dating another girl at the same time he was letting me think he was single and when I found out I was done with him, so that got a lot of play at the time. LOL

With his solo songs "You Belong to the City" was my personal fav as I love New York and that song just fits with that city to me as well as some historical people from there that I've studied about. Then I love his "After Hours" album as his voice is just amazing on it.

There are so many vocals, nudging me, and softly saying, "What about me?" I'm tempted by the MTV second night vocal on Peaceful Easy Feeling, but it has to be "Here's to Life".

Ive always been a dreamer
02-19-2016, 12:51 PM
Yeah - for me, there is no way I can pick just one song or probably even ten. As others said, as soon as I would try to pick one, there are so many others that would be shouting, "but what about me"!

I've always said that one of the things I've always loved so much about Glenn's voice is its versatility. He could sound so pure, tender, and vulnerable at times and then belt out that rugged gruff growl at the other end of the spectrum. Both were equally endearing to my ears.

There was a description that was once said by our own Prettymaid here during a discussion about Don's and Glenn's voices. I'm probably paraphrasing what she said but it was something to the effect that if Don's voice was the 'money' for the band, then Glenn's was the 'heart'. I always thought that was a great analogy or as Glenn would have said 'that about clocks it'. I never forgot that and have stolen PM's description a few times since.

Note: PM, I tried to search for your original quote, but I couldn't find it. Do you have any idea where or when it was?

Here's To Life is up there for me, along with Same Girl, which I know that isn't that popular here, but Glenn knew how I felt about Randy Newman. He knew because in Brisbane he said Randy was his favourite American singer-songwriter. He looked down at me & I nodded. At the Opera House he said the same thing & this time he gestured in my direction as you do when you acknowledge someone. I think that time I clapped a couple of times. Regardless of the lyrical content the vocal absolutely aches. It's so pure & soullful. Anyway...

(NB Randy was at the private memorial service).

If it's in the context of a song, I love Doolin Dalton, or maye Outlaw Man, in DD he has these great asides in between Don's vocals that are so rugged and electric particularly in concert. He just nailed that western outlaw persona and Ive never heard a vocalist carry such drama and presence to a song. Ofcourse like everyone I struggle to pick one but this one just based on voice is really good. As for solo career if we're splitting up like that I would go for Let's Go Home, the dripping emotion of that falsetto and it sounded so good too closer to the soul music he loved; it reminds me of the stylistics.

For me, the first Glenn solo song I heard was 'You belong to the city' - I just fell in love with it and with Glenn's voice, he sounded so passionate and full of emotion in it. It's still my favourite solo song today. A close runner up is 'Lovers moon', especially the HFO second night version...

As for Glenn's eagles songs, my top three of his would be 'Tequila Sunrise', 'Peaceful Easy Feeling' and 'What Do I Do With My Heart'

Something like Outlaw Man gets me every time. IMO his voice worked on that kind of stuff better than anybody's. I wasn't a big fan of his more sensitive and quiet singing style that he sometimes used on the more quiet songs, especially later on (like The Girl From Yesterday). It was still his voice and I loved it, but it wasn't my favorite style of singing from him. There are tons of magical moments for me. Stuff like "ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things" (Glenn's voice is what does the trick for me, although there are other people singing) sends shivers down the spine. I wish more people "among the masses" would realize what a phenomenal voice he had.

Strangely enough there are also many moments where Glenn is singing harmony to support someone else, but his voice sends shivers down my spine. There are many such moments in the classic Eagles material. LROOE would be a more recent example. Randy Newman's "Short people". There are, I think, three people singing the harmony part, but Glenn is all I hear.

Of course Glenn shines on New Kid In Town. But it's also one of my favorite songs ever, as a song. But Outlaw Man, if I heard it sung by someone else...I'm not sure if I'd enjoy it. (Even David Blue!) But Glenn's voice makes it a (can't think of a fitting adjective in English) experience.

EDIT:

I mentioned The Girl From Yesterday as an example of the singing style I'm not a huge fan of. But then I remembered that even that song has a moment where I hear the Glenn voice I really love. The line "And she doesn't count the teardrops".

True Love as a solo artist and I've always loved It's your world now which seems ever more poignant now. I really like his voice on the rockier songs too such as Somebody and James Dean.

True Love as a solo artist...

While playing Glenn Frey Solo Song Survivor (or was it his Solo Video Survivor?...) I fell in love with True Love and was happy to recently read a Bob Seger article where he mentions that particular song, I think, among others while pointing out how much Glenn liked Soul music.

Here's the quote from Bob.


Like Seger, Frey was drawn to soul music as a youngster. That influence ran through Frey's work, Seger said: "You can kind of hear it on 'Heartache Tonight,' a lot in 'The Long Run,' and a whole lot in 'One of These Nights.' That's why 'True Love' is my favorite song from his solo career — it's so Al Green.

Wow. I've never heard that before.

The Eagles were known for duplicating their recordings live onstage, so this is a very refreshing change. You can pick out the harmonizing vocals better on this. And staying on topic, Glenn sounds wonderful, although I still prefer his vocal on the original. Maybe because he's younger and his voice is breathier.

BTW, it breaks my heart every time I use past tense when talking about the Eagles now.

The other day, I gave that version of Peaceful Easy Feeling as my runner up, but I've heard a solo version of it that he did in 1982 and that's even better as he doesn't get drowned out by the harmonies and other instruments. It's just Glenn's voice (slightly hoarse and hestitant yet strong and almost pitch perfect) accompanied by an acoustic guitar and a steel guitar. It's very melancholy.

UTW - I don't recall ever hearing a 1982 version, but there is a version around 1992 that I think he did either on the Party of Two tour with Joe or the Strange Weather tour that I think is even more beautiful than the HFO version. Do you recall any details about the '82 version - was it audio or video? It sounds very much like the '90's bootleg video that I'm thinking of.

I didn’t post in this thread immediately as I wanted to give it some thought before replying. I really love most of Glenn’s Eagles vocals and my favourites do change depending on my mood.

Having said this though, my favourite Glenn vocal right now would probably have to be Tequila Sunrise. I think his voice on the song matches the hungover feel of the lyrics and the music absolutely perfectly, tinged with just the right amount of weariness and regret, especially the ‘she wasn’t just another woman’ verse. It’s melancholy without being miserable, and I think it’s a key part of the magic of the song.

He had such an AMAZING voice that was so unique that he could sing everything from southern rock, R&B to country or melt your heart with a love ballad! I'm still sad that he has never been given the true accolades he deserves! I doubt he did it for the recognition, but I hope he felt a true sense of accomplishment of seeing his vision fulfilled. They were the embodiment of complete perfection .....great songs brought to life with meaningful lyrics and complete harmony.

I will always be thankful that they came along in my lifetime. I hope they know some small measure of the joy they have provided to their millions of fans! <3 #MusicForAllTime!

Obviously, the songs from the Eagles days are unbelievable. As far as the songs with the best vocals from his solo days, I'd rate them:
3. After Hours
2. True Love
1. The One You Love

I love the emotion in his voice in each of these songs. All classics.

Great choices. I adore "After Hours" especially.

I was listening to "Part of Me, Part of You" today, and his voice really moves me in that song. It's hard to describe... hope, longing, love, vulnerability, fierce determination.... all rolled into one.

So hard because it even depends on my mood. If I'm up for rocking music or a slow sultry ballad/ But some of my favourites would be

Somebody

After Hours

I did it for Your Love

I love "Part of Me, Part of You" as well. "Thelma & Louise" was on the TV on the weekend and I caught the last part of the movie. Such a beautiful song with sensitive lyrics - bought a lump to my throat...
I also love "Heartache Tonight" and "Ol55".
I better stop here otherwise I will write an essay!

One from Glenn's solo career that is not mentioned often but that I absolutely love is "That Girl" - just beautiful.

I love just about everything Glenn sings but one of my all time favorites is New Kid in Town Live - Washington DC 1977. I just love the emotion he put into that performance and his vocals couldn't be better.

Oh My My :heart:

How weird. That version, with the strained attempt at falsetto, doesn't work for me. Compare with the way he belts it out in the original, or in the Christchurch version.

Slow down, it's your world now, his rendition of Desperado and tequila sunrise.

Maybe this is a cop out but to me its like having to choose my favourite child. I love him on everything and it also depends on the mood that I am in
