The Girl From Yesterday, Glenn Frey, Guitar Instrumental

"The Girl From Yesterday" Glenn Frey wrote this song with his longtime collaborator Jack Tempchin. They formed a bond in the late '60s after Tempchin saw Frey perform in San Diego. When the Eagles took flight, they included Tempchin's song "Peaceful Easy Feeling" on their debut album, and on their third album, On The Border, recorded another Tempchin song, "Already Gone." After the band broke up in 1980, Frey and Tempchin wrote songs together, many of which ended up on Frey's solo albums. Among them: "The One You Love," "I Found Somebody," and "Smuggler's Blues." "The Girl From Yesterday" was another song aimed at a Frey solo album, but then the Eagles got back together in 1994. The band had been apart for 14 years and was quite combustible, so instead of writing and recording an album of new material, they decided to make a live album and DVD called Hell Freezes Over with a handful of new songs, starting with one Frey wrote with Don Henley called "Get Over It." When they were making their 1994 reunion record Hell Freezes Over, Glenn Frey and frequent collaborator Jack Tempchin wrote the song ‘Girl From Yesterday’ for the record. When appearing as a guest on the Songfacts podcast in 2022, Tempchin talked through the song’s inspiration, saying that Frey had written it as a kiss-off to his first wife Janie, who he’d divorced in 1988.
