Timothy singing on CSN's Daylight Again album?

[AlreadyGone95]

I was poking through Tim's site on here. I reading the "fun facts and trivia" part, and I came across the fact about Tim singing on CSN'S Daylight Again album. Does anyone know what songs he sang on?

CSN is one of my favorite "supergroups". The next time I listen to Daylight Again, I will pay extra close attention to see if I can hear Tim's voice!

[Funk 50]

I loved the Live Video/DVD, CSN did at the time of Daylight Again. It caught my interest as it had Joe Vitale and George "Chocolate" Perry, from Joe's band playing on it.

After seeing them live, I lost my enthusiasm for them, although I do have quite a few CSN(+Y) CDs.

Daylight Again is almost Stills, Nash & Schmit album. Tim was brought in to sing Crosby's harmony as he, I believe, was in prison. Crosby was added later to give the album more saleability.

Timothy B. Schmit — vocals on "Turn Your Back on Love," "Wasted on the Way," "Southern Cross," "Song for Susan," "You Are Alive," and "Tomorrow Is Another Day"; bass on "Song for Susan"

Well, in some ways, that kind of ruins the album for me, but in other ways, it makes me like it more. I do love the live footage from the tour that I've seen on youtube. I had no idea that Crosby's pruson sentence coincided with the making on the album!

I recently finished the audio version of Graham Nash's autobiography and he talks about Timothy contributing to the harmony vocals on "Wasted on the Way." David Crosby was very ill/incapacitated from drugs at the time and his voice was shot.

Graham also talks about the Eagles performing at Peace Sunday, a massive benefit concert he organized in 1982, but of course he should have said Timothy Schmit and Don Felder, since the Eagles had broken up by 1982.

I was curious to check out the live DVD from CSN's 1982 Universal Ampitheater performance, as Graham goes into such vivid detail about Crosby's "ghastly" appearance, numerous skin sores and "dead eyes."

OMG, David's eyes were absolutely freaky - and he could barely remember to sing on "Wooden Ships," poor guy.

DC was a complete mess! I'm surprised he survived it all! Have you read his autobigraphy? I really enjoyed it, but my eyes were certainly opened! Him and his wife lived on a mattress in one room of their house at one time! He pretty much lost everything to drugs.

I just love their music though! I have a box set of 3 dvds that are fantastic! Their harmonies just amaze me!

[NightMistBlue]

I read David's first autobiography, "Long Time Gone." His poor wife Jan, she went through hell. It's a miracle that they could both recover so fully.

In Graham's book, Stephen Stills comes across (probably inadvertently on Graham's part) as a fascinating enigma: enormously talented, sweet, arrogant, generous and certifiably crazy for long stretches of time.

OT to AG: you said in the other thread you think Stephen Stills is attractive. Google Chris Stills, his 41-year old son, he's gorgeous - and he speaks French, ooh la la. :)

[AlreadyGone95]

I haven't read either book. Because of how rural the area in which the I live is, the nearest library is 16 miles away, and I don't have a Kindle, so my only option really is to buy books. I'd heard that they'd written books, but I haven't checked em out.

I knew that David was in pretty bad shape then, but I didn't know how bad!

I'll have to look up Chris Stills then! :D ;)

[AlreadyGone95]

I've always thought that Stephen Stills was a musical genius since I was a kid. As I got older, I came to realize that both David and Graham are in their own ways. Like the Eagles, to me, CSN is better than the sum of the parts.

I just Googled him. I definitely see his dad in him. Actually, he might even be better looking than dad :drool:. Now, I just need to listen to some of his music and hear his voice to see if I might be :smitten:

Wow! I had no idea how many different albums Tim sang on! I honestly admit that of the 4 current Eagles, he's the guy I know the least about. I just bought Poco's Roses of Cimarron on vinyl and it's the only non Eagles item I have of his (I haven't had time to listen to it yet, unfortunately).
Thanks for the link, MC. I'll have to read that thread as soon as I can! :)

[MaryCalifornia]

Rose of Cimarron on vinyl, that's rad! Have you seen this? Be sure to watch to 3:18:wink:!

:). No, I haven't seen it before. I'm a complete newbie to Poco. I didn't even know that the band was co-founded by 2 members of Buffalo Springfield!(see my above love of Stephen Stills ). If I hadn't recognized Timothy on the album cover, I wouldn't have bought it.
I really liked the song. I hope to listen to the whole album tonight!
And yes, I like Timothy's voice as well. :)

[Funk 50]

I made a compilation CD of all Tim's Poco songs. It was fun to do but to be honest I vary rarely listen to it.

It was a good way to get to know his considerable Poco output though. I'm not a Poco fan, far too country but there are a handful of songs I like.

Tim's Poco songs are:

(1970) -
Hard Luck
Keep On Believin' (sung with Richie Furay)
Hear That Music

(1971) -
From The Inside

(1972) -
I Can See Everything
Restrain

(1973) -
Here We Go Again

(1974) -
Bitter Blue
Just Call My Name
Krikkit's Song (Passing Through)
Skatin'
I'll Be Back Again
Whatever Happened To Your Smile

(1975) -
Keep On Tryin'
Flying Solo

(1976) -
Starin' At The Sky
Just Like Me

(1977) -
Stay (Night Until Noon)
Me And You

Tim's also got a share of the blame for (ie writing credit) for 18 minute indulgence Nobody's Fool/El Tonto de Nadie, Regresa and sings Steal Away and the live version of Honky Tonk Downstairs which he didn't write. Tim's harmonies are present on lots of other Poco songs too.

Tim's performed Keep On Tryin' with the Eagles, Ringo Starr's All Starr Band and solo but the only other Poco song he's performed since leaving the band is Furay's What Am I Gonna Do? which he was going to sing on the record but didn't.

Thanks Funk 50. I'll have to check those songs out.

I'm not a big country fan, but I like some. (It's impossible to dislike all country here in Georgia lol)

[MaryCalifornia]

This is so cool, F50, thank you. I'm always trying to figure out which Poco songs he sings lead. Going to listen to some of these on youtube later today. We should put this in the Poco thread - I'll do it when I'm not running out the door.

[AlreadyGone95]

I'll copy and paste it (giving funk 50 credit of course)

ETA: Done :)

[bluefeather]

thanks F50 and AG:)

The Timothy list is very impressive - I didn't know he was on the 2013 Beach Boys record, or Howard Hewett or America...

I would love to hear the Eagles doing Keep on Tryin' - that just intrigues me for some reason.

Then you, my friend NMB, are in luck! Soda has it on timothybschmitonline - from 1980 in Long Beach - http://www.timothybschmitonline.com/multimedia/MP3/KeeponTryinLongBeach80.mp3

I'm guessing the 2013 Beach Boys is a reissue of 1996 Caroline No -

OMG, the harmonies! Tears in my eyes right now. Is that Glenn on the very high harmony? Beautiful.

Thank you, Mary!

"Caroline No" is very impressive. Geez, he had the Beach Boys singing back-up for him - that must've been a thrill of a lifetime.

:woah:, Wow! It never ceases to amaze me, all of the recordings,info,photos etc Soda has put together on these sites!

NMB, I do believe that that is Glenn doing the harmony.
