Timothy B. Schmit TIMOTHY B. SCHMIT Text and photos: Chiara Meattelli It should be clear: the Eagles come first. However a Timothy B. Schmit, so satisfied with a solo work, has never been seen. The album is called Expando and Timothy - bassist and vocalist of the Eagles and Poco - has recorded it bit by bit, year after year, in his home studio in the surroundings of Los Angeles. From time to time he asked some friends to lend a hand: Keb' Mo', Graham Nash, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Shepherd, Garth Hudson of The Band, Van Dyke Parks, Benmont Tench of the Heartbreakers to name a few. There are 12 songs of American flavor, some country rock with blues inflections and even soul, but it's still difficult to think that the fans of this album would be different from those of the Eagles.According to the legend they are not the world's most united band, it seems credible, but when I investigate Timothy doesn't give away too much regarding this topic. The meeting in a Mayfair hotel: he is gentle, worldly- wise and seems to not have cut his hair since 1976 when Hotel California was released and he was close to joining the band. Now that he has reached 62 years he has played for nearly half a century, has filled entire stadiums with one of the best selling bands on this planet, and finally feels it's the right moment to "throw" himself into some solo concerts. "It's never too late", he confirms solemnly. "You can never say cat before you have it in the sack", he replies. [translator's note: must be an Italian saying; I'd translate it rather to "you can never tell until you have the cat in the sack"]. Eight years have passed since your last solo album: when did you write the new songs for Expando? I wrote them some years ago, I could only dedicate some time in between commitments with the Eagles. It's a different album, special, because for the first time I didn't collaborate with anybody, I did everything on my own. In the beginning I didn't even know that I accomplished an album, I didn't have rules or parameters, I only wrote the music. I took my time, recorded in my home studio together with a friend who is a sound technician, we worked hard and also had fun. When I realized I had enough songs to put together an album I simply continued to work on it, without deadlines or pressure of any kind. Can we call it an album by chance? Let's say that I did what I wanted to do, explore my own music without having myself influenced by anything else. Didn't you have a contract with the label? No, nothing! When I had finished it, mixed and with master tape, I presented the entire package including art work, and so I found the label. By the way I like the art work very much, it's my wife's work who is an artist. In these past years you also wrote new material with the Eagles. How do you decide what to keep for yourself and what to suggest to the band? Well, you can do what you want in this situation. You can say you have an idea and ask the others their opinion or you can think that it's no song appropriate for the Eagles and never have them listen. Are there any songs on Expando that you first suggested to the Eagles? A few, I don't remember well .... it seems to me one to Don and another to Glenn, but none of those two stepped up to develop the idea. But I never thought they were not any good only because they didn't want to cater to them. You know, it's not easy to understand what the guys in the band want, they have their own ideas and their own way of doing things. So I put these songs "in my pocket" and kept them for myself. You have written and produced the album, are you a control freak in the studio? Maybe ... but I don't think too much. When you start a song you come from some good idea but you never know until you finish: which sounds and instruments to use. When I record on my own I allow myself a lot of freedom, in contrary to when I work with the Eagles. I just let things happen, I don't want to be too precise, I want people to hear that we're a group of friends that has fun playing together. So it's live recording then? I started each piece recording my guitar parts, then I added the vocals, and then all the rest. Today there are ways to adjust every error and make the sound more precise but it's not what I want. You can even record a file, send it to the other end of the planet and ask somebody to sing on it, but I need to work face to face. Therefore everyone who collaborated on this album has walked through my studio door. And I can see that many prestigious names are there, like Graham Nash on Parachute. When I had first heard this piece I thought of Crosby, Stills & Nash, before even reading the names in the credits ... Sure, but when I wrote it I didn't think of Graham at all, only after the chorus I thought "hmmm, sounds exactly like Crosby, Stills & Nash!" And so, instead of pretending to sound like them, I came to invite my friend Graham as a vocalist. It was clear that he had the perfect voice. Was there anybody who told you no? Yes, a couple, I don't remember well .... One was John Mayer, I wanted him to play guitar on one of the pieces, but he didn't accept: I don't know what happened, whether he wasn't interested or had too many commitments. I also wanted Jennifer Warnes’ voice: when I had heard her live I remained stunned. But unfortunately it hasn’t been possible because she had too many commitments and when she was available it was me who was stressed. I hope we will be able to collaborate soon. What do you tell me about Van Dyke Parks? That he’s a great friend and one of the most eccentric persons that I know! For the first time you also work together with your son … Yes, my son Ben is really attached to music, he plays drums and guitar on White Boy From Sacramento which we had recorded already some years ago, when he only was a teenager. I didn’t know how that would work, back then he didn’t have much experience with recording studios … Today he’s 19, he’s the youngest of the family, and he frequents the Berklee College of Music in Boston. So how did working together turn out? Fantastic but also difficult: sometimes it was a real and true battle. I wanted to treat him like any other professional musician and cut the father-son-cords, even though I then realized that it’s not possible to do so. Before we started I told him I didn’t know whether he was the best musician for this piece, I didn’t want him to stay offended in case it didn’t work. For that reason I told him about my own example when Steely Dan had written a song that I had sung for them and they preferred Michael McDonald’s voice because it was more fitting. These are things that happen and I know them well, having been a guest on various albums myself. Will you work together again? Of course I’d enjoy it a lot, and he, too. Now that he’s more grown-up it would also be different, he’s no teenager anymore. Are you a mother? Nope … Well, when you become one you’ll see how much the kids at this age are changing, at moments they couldn’t even be identified! In a certain sense this is really scary, you have to be prepared but I believe no parent ever will. You have always been a musician, you have lived through the analogue age and now through the digital, don’t you think it may be more difficult to emerge nowadays compared to the past? I don’t know, many people think so, but I’m not so sure, when I was young there also was a lot of competition. But today it’s more difficult to make a living off selling records … Sure, especially when you’re not super popular. Shortly before the invention of the digital the Eagles sold 15 million copies and also the last album brought an optimum result for these times. Today there are yet more bands in circulation. Sometimes I think back of when I was young and I learned the first songs from the radio, I had so many dreams and today I daresay I could make them come true, or better I even topped them. But I’m an exception from the rule and I don’t even know why. After all the world is full of musicians with the same talent as mine: it takes timing, persistence, the need to torture the right people and make them listen to your music. I remember when I was 19 and I was in a small band in Sacramento, we had recorded an album and for the first time I had heard my own voice on the radio … we all are still friends but only one other band member still lives on music, the other became a business man who plays on weekends as a pastime.

  • Desperado Set to Fill Hht…
    PRESS RELEASE – February 23, 2017 DESPERADO SET TO FILL HHT...AGAIN The band DESPERADO has a reputation for an amazing recreation of the classic sound of THE EAGLES. If you close your eyes, you would swear you were listening to one of your favorite LPs from the 70's. On Saturday March 4th at 7:00 pm you can experience that feeling too. In 2015, DESPERADO was the first group to sell out their performance at the fledgling Historic Hemet Theatre. Last year, their return visit was one of only two concerts that filled the auditorium to capacity. Now that the theatre is filling the house regularly, this appearance will certainly be no exception. With five lead vocalists and instrumentalists who have honed their musical skills in a variety of professional projects, "DESPERADO" is truly a cut above -- performing with all live sound (no backing tracks). Singing the Eagles soaring harmonies while executing the guitar parts and rhythm track to perfection, "Desperado" challenges the listener to tell the difference between what is being played live and the original versions of the songs. Leader and founding member Aaron Broering spent years putting together just the right combination of musicians to fulfill his dream of performing these well-crafted songs with the highest of skill. Recruiting performers who have traveled the world performing with The Beach Boys, David Ruffin of the Temptations, Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, and with Eagles Timothy B Schmit, Don Felder, and J.D. Souther, Desperado truly is "The Premier Eagles Tribute." Tribute to The Eagles is the third in the 2017 "Tribute Mania" concert series that is helping bring the Historic Hemet Theatre back to life.

  • Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)”—The Eagles (1976) Added to the Registry: 2016 Essay by Marc Eliot (Guest Post)*
    “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)”—The Eagles (1976) Added to the Registry: 2016 Essay by Marc Eliot (guest post)* The Eagles In 1971, the arrival of The Eagles signaled a major shift in popular musical tastes in America. If Woodstock was the funeral for both the music and the culture of a decade of drugged out, hippie, free love and cultish idealism, the Seventies was the decade of blatant decadence, political cynicism, sexual distrust, and rampant narcissism. No band represented both the rejection of the Sixties and the celebration of the Seventies more than its crown princes, the Eagles. Songs like “Lyin’ Eyes,” “Witchy Woman,” “One of These Nights,” and “Already Gone,” filled with spirited playing, close harmonies and an overlay of the Eagles’ war between the sexes, comprise four of the ten selections included in the initial compilation of Eagles’ hit songs from their first four albums, “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975).” Ironically, although the Eagles’ laid-back sound was bright and natural as Southern California sunshine, none of the original four members were Golden State natives (Don Henley, vocalist, lyricist, drummer, was from Texas, bred on bluegrass and country music; Glenn Frey, vocalist, lyricist, rhythm guitar, pianist, came from the streets of Detroit, influenced by the music of Motown and mentored by Bob Seger; Randy Meisner, on bass, was a veteran bar band night sider out of Nebraska; Bernie Leadon, guitar, mandolin, banjo, was a Minnesotan who loved and loved to play classic country). Each migrated separately to Los Angeles, like lemmings, to The Troubadour, the musical and cultural ground zero club on Santa Monica Boulevard, owned and operated by Doug Weston, who favored putting on his stage country-rock bands and female vocalists.

  • Joe Walsh Saturday, September 1
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE APRIL 17, 2012 RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT & CLASSIC ROCK 101 PRESENT JOE WALSH SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 Richmond, BC – Best known for his popular guitar licks, musician Joe Walsh has entertained the masses and captivated his peers for more than three decades with such classics as “Funk #49”, “Walk Away”, “Life’s Been Good”, “A Life of Illusion” and “Ordinary Average Guy”. Walsh had played with many bands but it wasn’t until 1969 when he joined the Cleveland based power trio, The James Gang that he got a taste of sweet success. The Gang released four albums in the early 70’s … two of which went gold. Joe then decided to head west to Colorado where he put together the trio, Barnstorm in 1972 and released two albums. Still feeling there was something more for him, Joe released his first solo album in 1974. So What proved Joe a legitimate solo act with a limitless career on the horizon. Then in 1976, he was asked by the Eagles to replace guitarist Bernie Leadon bringing a harder rock sound to the group. At the end of the year, they released their fifth studio album, Hotel California which went gold reaching #1 on the Billboard Charts followed by The Long Run (1979) and Eagles Live (1980) reaching Billboard’s #1 and #6 respectively. At the same time, Joe released two solo albums ...You Can’t Argue With a Sick Mind (1976) and But Seriously Folks (1978) which boasted the notorious hit, “Life’s Been Good”. During the 14-year hiatus of the Eagles, Joe focussed on his solo career releasing several albums including There Goes The Neighborhood (1981), The Confessor (1985) and Ordinary Average Guy (1991).
