Six-time Grammy Award winner and founding member of The Eagles, Glenn Frey will release 'After Hours', a collection of classic love songs from the 40’s to the present, on June 25th on Polydor Records. 'After Hours', his sixth solo album and first since 1995 is a total departure taking him in a whole new direction.

The 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', the first single from the album and Randy Newman’s 'Same Girl' as well as the added spice of the American standard, 'Route 66.'
