The Allnighter by Glenn Frey
The Allnighter is an album by Glenn Frey, released in 1984. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 10 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Smuggler's Blues”, on 10 lists with a best position of #410.
The Allnighter, Glenn Frey's second solo album, came out on MCA in mid-1984, four years after the Eagles fell apart, and it's where the former Eagles co-frontman found his solo groove. Barry Beckett produced, and the sound is sleek and grown-up, smooth, radio-ready rock, the fullest expression of the polished, adult-leaning style Frey had been working toward since No Fun Aloud.
"Smuggler's Blues" did more than chart: it helped inspire a Miami Vice episode of the same name, with Frey making his acting debut in it, and its video won him an MTV Video Music Award in 1985. With "Sexy Girl" also a top 20 single, the album went gold and reached 22 on the Billboard charts, still the best showing of his solo career. Soul Searchin' followed.
