Strange Weather (Glenn Frey album)

Strange Weather is the fourth album by Glenn Frey, released in 1992 (see 1992 in music). Though the album was considered an improvement from Frey's previous album by critics, the album went largely unnoticed by the public. The album failed to chart and none of its three singles reached the Top 40, a first for Frey. However, Frey found some success with the single "Part Of Me, Part Of You" off the Thelma and Louise soundtrack. The single reached #55 on the charts.
