Glenn Frey – “Above The Clouds!”

Eagles fans are rejoicing! The late Eagles singer – and successful solo Artist Glenn Frey, is getting a terrific retrospective CD / DVD release!

Ultimateclassicrock.com had the best story – as always – about the release. As they report:

Titled ‘Above the Clouds: The Collection’, the four-disc set is scheduled to arrive in stores May 11. After a first disc focusing on the Eagles co-founder’s hit solo singles — which will also be available as a standalone release — Clouds moves on to less well-known material, including songs from his 2012 ‘After Hours’ release.

But here’s the best part:

The Digital Debut Of Longbranch / Pennywhistle!

Most Eagles fans know about this legendary, early work by Frey, but as Ultimateclassicrock.com notes:

“With its third and fourth discs, Above the Clouds offers material that should be of most interest to collectors — starting with the digital debut of ‘Longbranch/Pennywhistle’, the 1969 LP Frey recorded as a duo with longtime collaborator JD Souther. Previously available on CD only as an import, the album is followed here with a DVD presenting footage of a Frey show from Sept. 15, 1992, during the tour in support of his ‘Strange Weather’ release.”

Wow!
