Inconsistent but with some real high points.......2003-03-08

It's hard to say which was Glenn Frey's best solo album, because they're so much alike. Not to say that he is plagiarizing himself, but all of his solo records have some great songs, some good songs, and some filler, and the same thing goes for "The Allnighter". (Nice guitar work on the title track, though.)

I sometimes program the flag-waving "Better In The USA" out when I listen to this album, and songs like the title track and "Sexy Girl" have dated pretty badly as well. Oh, and what is with all the synthezisers on "Living In Darkness"? Leave that to Don Henley, please!

The good stuff outnumbers the mediocrities, though. "I Got Love" and "New Love" are a couple of really pleasant, soulful tunes. Great harmonies on "New Love", great piano and organ on "I Got Love".
The acoustic "Lovers' Moon" is just lovely, as is the tender "Let's Go Home".
"Somebody Else" is a mid-tempo blue-eyed soul tune with some slightly eerie lyrics (the narrator sounds seriously paranoid!), and some lovely sax playing.
And of course there is "Smuggler's Blues", the hardest and probably the best rocker Glenn Frey has ever forged during his years as a solo artist, complete with some mean, slashing slide guitar from the man himself.

All in all, this is a really fine solo album, even with a few mediocre songs to weigh it down a little. Glenn Frey is a fine, expressive singer and a very good songwriter, and his R&B-like arrangements with horns and keyboards and lovely sax solos on "Let's Go Home" and "Somebody Else" are superb.

I could play it all night!.......2002-01-18

A hot summer evening, your car, your girl, and Glenn Frey's 'The Allnighter' is all you need to bring back the memories of those nights you spent cruising the streets & highways and listening to the hottest tunes of the day. Even after 15 years or so, Glenn's masterpiece of Rock & Romance still sounds fresh and only a first-time listener would have trouble singing along.
The title track kicks things off with a fast-paced tale of a casanova-style encounter, then "Sexy Girl" echoes every man's memory of the one girl they hopelessly loved but could only dream about making their own. "I Got Love" sounds even more cheerful, while "Somebody Else" is an anthem for confrontation. Two unmistakable slow-dance gems arrive in the lonely and apologetic ballads, "Lover's Moon" and "Let's Go Home" But in between is the album's coolest song, "Smuggler's Blues", in which Glenn puts the pedal down and weaves a story of danger and frustration over the problem which still plagues society today. "Living In Darkness" is another rocker overshadowed a little by the patriotic finger-snapper, "Better In The U.S.A". The Al Green-ish closer "New Love" is one more ode to romance lost and found.
All in all, there is nothing on 'The Allnighter' to miss and much that you'll want to hear over and over. Some would say it's best appreciated while driving, but others might want to just sit outside, crack open a drink and let it play. I say it doesn't matter, You'll love this album either way, and it's still Mr. Frey's best work. Get this one in your player soon!

Up All Night.......2000-12-07

Glenn Frey's solo career has been hit and miss, but on The Allnighter he fires on all cylinders. The album is propelled by the big hit "Smuggler's Blues" which is a great tale of drug dealers down in Florida. It's inventive video got major airplay on MTV and was the basis for a guest-starring role for Mr. Frey on Miami Vice. The album is more than just a one-hit affair. The title track is an ode to partying, "Sexy Girl" is a mid-tempo number that has a "New Kid In Town" flavor and "Better In The USA" is in the vein of a Chuck Berry number. Overall, this album shows Mr. Frey's ability to write a good hook and make listener-friendly music.

Frey fan.......2000-10-18

Glenn Fry will always be the "voice of the Eagles". No man can put together two words like he can. A great blending of soft and hard. "Smuggler's Blues" rocks.

Great reissue with bonus tracks!.......2006-01-05

Pardon the fact that I am not going to review the album in detail as if you come this far you probably have some idea of what the music is like. Glenn Frey's "The Allnighter" has a bluesy, rockish feel to it. The reissue is remastered in 24-bit style and sounds very good. The remaster is on the loud side but is fortunately note brick walled (meaning devoid of dynamics). The original CD, while inherently quiet, was better, but did not have as much "life" as this. I feel it's a 50/50 split between the original CD issue and this remaster. While the improved range between treble and bass is nice, it seems to come at a price. It comes in a cool mini-LP sleeve with the original vinyl artwork, vinyl plastic "baggie" and such which make up for the mastering short comings. The three bonus tracks are "The Heat Is On", "Flip City" and "You Belong to the City." Very cool as they are awesome tracks and require buying multiple compilations to get. It may be pricey but it's worth it!

Missed Opportunity.......2002-09-12

Sadly this is a bit of a missed opportunity, more effort seeming to be put into promoting a minor recently opened venue on the UK Northern Soul scene than in providing anything new to the purchaser. You don't see Kent promoting apparently associated venues.

Contrary to the hyperbole, The Rocket is not the leading or best attended allnighter on the UK Northern Soul scene. I understand that there were less than 200 people in attendance at the last event. Falling attendances had resulted in the dismissal of the head DJ, who just did not have the record collection or the crowd pulling power to fill an average sized venue, let alone one with a capacity of 1000+. What is more, these records are not even in the style that The Rocket purports to provide a venue for.

That aside, none of these tracks are in any way bad, in fact, many of them are popular classics of the scene. That being the case, it is hardly surprising to discover that they have almost all appeared on other compilations on Kent and other labels.

This compilation is not a bad introduction to the scene, but buyer beware, and check the track listing carefully, if you already have much of a collection of music in this style. Certainly, you will not find much new, and many shops in the UK don't appear to have bothered stocking it. You'll find better on Kent or Goldmine.
