"No Fun Aloud" is the first solo album by Glenn Frey, released in 1982.
It was fairly received by critics and became a moderate commercial success.The released two top 40 singles with "The One You Love" and "I Found Somebody".
Frey's perfectly guided vocals and impeccable talent for crafting laid-back love songs that make the album noteworthy. The saxophone from "The One You Love," which tags alongside the soothing chorus, makes the song even better, and "I Found Somebody" hints at the Eagles' warm, harmonic style. Even the average-sounding "All Those Lies" went to number 41, but efforts like "That Girl" and "She Can't Let Go" are thinned out too much, as Frey gets a little too involved with singer/songwriter colloquialisms. Some life is regained with a spirited attempt at Frankie Ford's "Sea Cruise," one of the album's real movers. With Frey's own production assistance, "No Fun Aloud" stands up as a modest debut album.
