Great find TF! How exciting!

I'll definitely be buying it!

ETA: Check out the guests he's got on it! "Dwight Yoakam and Kid Rock plus Graham Nash, the Blind Boys of Alabama, Keb' Mo', Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Van Dyke Parks and The Band's Garth Hudson." Dang, that's quite a spread!

This is the sweetest thing I've heard all day. I'm so excited! I actually like Kid Rock, so I'll be interested to hear that song for sure!

Do you think the comment signed Randy M was really him or just someone acting cute to try to stir up something

Well, since I can't imagine Randy declaring that the Eagles "suck" and that tickets cost "way too much" I think it's a safe bet that it's a fake. In fact, I bet the real commenter is not even of drinking age yet. lol

That sounds like a brilliant album. I'll get it for Laura and sneak a listen when she is at school!! I'm looking forward to it. Timothy sounds very refreshing and energised in this interview.

I can't even tell you how excited this makes me to hear!! Cannot wait, and hopefully there will be a preorder on his sight for it.

I wonder what Expando is reference to if anything. Any ideas anyone here? And that guest list... I love Kenny Wayne and Keb Mo, Kid Rock, Dwight Yoakam, WOW!!

Such fantastic news!!

That last comment about another Eagles recording (or NOT) sounded rather "canned" to me. Just my impression...."we ain't gonna do no more but we don't want to come right out and say that." I got the same impression from comments that I seem to recall Don Henley making about any future recordings.

But hearing the lineup that TBS revealed about "Expando", it does sound great!

As to the name.....all I can visualize is Arnold Schwarzenegger in spandex! <LOL> Personally, I don't care what he calls the album and I'm sure he name will be clarified as release draws nearer, I'll be getting it!

Honestly, I think the name is horrible!!! While I'm so excited for the new CD, I'm really going to have to get past the title. Sounds like a Mexican Wrestler action figure.

If "Expando" is a title track.... hmm. It should be interesting to hear what that sounds like. Maybe he's taking notes from Jeddrah's "new wave" style!

I was doing a couple searches trying to figure out exactly what "Expando" is---really nothing in particular. Did find out there's a game for iphone called Expando and on google.com there is something about some kind of "data model definition".

Anyways, while doing my search, I was truly amazed about how many websites picked up on this story from Billboard. Google "Expando Timothy B Schmit" and see how many pop up. BIG NEWS!!!!

This has made my day! Come on Fall, get here soon!

The name does sound a little odd, but that won't stop me from picking it up! I'm sure we won't question it as much once we hear the album. It will probably make sense then. I notice that he is getting to play with Keb Mo, he had mentioned in an interview that he would like to do some music with him. How great is it that that worked out? As for the other artists making an appearance...wow! What a great lineup. I'm interested to hear the sound of this album, he mentions that it is all him. You can tell he is proud; that really is a big accomplishment.

Hmm...Schwarzenegger in spandex...I have a feeling that isn't the image Timothy was going for :hilarious:

WOOHOO!! That is great, great news. A great collection of guests. Cannot wait to hear it. Tim sounds really pumped about it. Not so sure of the name though :confused: Weird visions go through your brain when you say 'Expando' :hilarious: Really weird :rofl:

Maybe its got something to do with what he said about expanding his music to be more his style :hmm:. He did say this album was going to be very different and a bit of a surprise for his fans. So this should be very interesting and I'm looking forward to getting it and hearing it. Wonder who was silly enough to say no :eyebrow:?

I think as they get older they have learned never to say never, so even though it's a slim to none possibility they've learned to give that kind of response. I mean, can you imagine how many times they all get asked that question?

He mentioned he had a couple solo projects he would do when it was over and said there was a 50/50 chance for an other Eagles album so anything is possible :)

WOW! That's the most optimistic answer to another album question that I've heard!

Well there is only 2 choices isn't there -- yes or no 50/50 :hilarious:

Right, but so far all I've heard is "Don't know if we have another album in us". "Or it isn't likely that we'll be cutting another." No outright denial that they would not cut another album, but definitely nothing as optimistic as Don said in this report.

One can only hope.

Maybe because there is so much interest in another album he's changing his mind :).

Living in NEW Mexico, I have a lot of exposure to the Hispanic language. As I understand it, expando is a derivative of the Spanish word expandir which is a verb meaning (obviously) EXPAND. While Timothy's new album is still, to the best of our knowledge, a work in progress, the title may not be etched in stone yet. But if he does decide to use "EXPANDO" I think it may be appropriate.....everything I've read about the new project indicates that it's a departure from his previous solo works. May not be the catchiest of titles but the content may speak volumes about the name choice. I'm looking forward to hearing the new stuff.
