Skis The Limit

There's two things you gotta do when you ski, " says Glenn Frey. "You gotta smile, and you gotta ski fast--it's as simple as that." Frey doesn't have much trouble indulging his love for skiing fast--he lives in Aspen, Colorado.

The ex-Eagle knows a thing or two about taking it to the limit: when he isn't skiing in the fast lane, he's pressing weights and writing smash singles. After lending his hit-making talents to 'Miami Vice' ("Smuggler's Blues") and 'Beverly Hills Cop' ("The Heat is On"), Frey has turned to more personal matters on his third solo album, 'Soul Searchin'.' "I I finally wrote a group of songs for myself to sing," he says.

The first single, "True Love," with its Memphis-tinged horns and Reverend Green vocal, is already headed for the top of the charts. "Livin' Right," which opens side one, is an anthem to fitness, a bit of a stretch for the formerly hard-living Frey. "I researched livin' wrong for about ten year," he says. Now he works out on a regular basis to stay in shape for the coming season.
