Reviews and Comments about Timothy's album "Leap of Faith"
Mystery solved. Red Dirt Road, according to Rolling Stone, is in Hawaii. They're premiering the song on their website. Can't figure out how to copy and paste web-addresses on my tablet or I'd paste the hyperlink here. Just google it. Country is the genre.

Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
Thanks, Carol--I found the link! It's exciting to hear Timothy do some country. The song has a nice Cajun vibe with the accordian sound.

Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
Thanks for posting the link.
Can't wait for west coast dates. Just hope he plays different venues out here than he normally does.

Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
Thanks for the link and the discussion!! Love this new song! After checking out this song, you just know the new album will be so awesome. (Of course, we absolutely knew that anyway. Just sayin'.) :inlove:
Timothy, please come to Kansas. :pray:

Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
That sounds really, really good.
And I didn't know Tim is buds with Van Dyke Parks; interesting.

Van played a couple of Socal dates during the Expando-tour.

Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
I do too! Reminds me a bit of his last album, Expando, a good thing! :thumbsup:

Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
If I'm allowed to post a link to a commercial site, you might be able to 'sample' the songs from 'Leap of faith' via Amazon in the UK.
So far I absolutely love 'Slow down' but think I will forever skip 'The island'. :smile:

Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
Hey that's great, UK! Thank you! After a very quick listen of each, I like the sound of What I Should Do and This Waltz.
His voice sounds like when he was 19.

Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
"Red Dirt Road" sounds reminiscent of Poco. I'm eager to hear more!

Reviews and Opinions about Tim's album "Leap of Faith"
Timothy's new video is both visually interesting and musically beautiful. If it is true that one of the artists in his family is responsible for the artwork featured in the album promotions and in the video, she should be proud. I loved it. :heart::heart::heart::heart:
Really, this is music that is good for the soul, imho. I simply cannot wait to receive my copy! :-D
-
Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
Nice video-colorful and artsy. It's interesting he says it's about "finally letting go." I think it's a great song.
-
Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
It's a great song & a lovely video. I like the soothing colors and the cover birdies coming to life.
[whispers] I think Mr. Timothy may be indicating he goes au naturel when he's on his ranch in Kauai

(Whispers back to her) Did you catch that, too?! ;-)
Now, don't anybody ruin this for us with talk of swim trunks. Please.
Lol...:blush:

Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
Yeah, I looked at the £24.95 price on Amazon, and decided not to. If the extra money was going to Tim I would go ahead. But, I suspect it would be going to Amazon and they then wouldn't be paying any tax on it.
EDIT:
All Those Faces - I really like the arrangement on this with the contrast between the lighter bits and those bits that 'build'.
Oh, I Refuse has started. My favourite from hearing the 30 second section excerpts on Amazon. Now I get to hear the whole thing!
-
Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
The Island drifts along with that Polynesian sounding rhythm and those Beach Boys harmonies. Great stuff. The album is more varied than I expected from the 30 second snippets.
-
Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
On third listening. This is seriously good, and everything I thought it should be. Looking forward to the impressions of others.
-
Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
Congrats, Tracy! Maybe Timmy heard the dedication?
I'm listening to the new album right now. So is most of my office, lemme turn it down :) Sounds so good! Did he produce this himself? I like the organic, natural sound with the guitars at the forefront. He's a talented bro. I hope this does extremely well for him.
"Slow Down" has a xylophone solo! Dig it.

Dare I hope that he heard it? Lol...:-D
I'm pretty sure that I heard him say that he and Hank Linderman did the production work.

I'm surprised the retailer didn't send you the mp3 files to listen to while you wait for snail mail.
The last mp3 album I bought included wonderful pdf versions of the artwork so I could zoom into pics that would be difficult to read at CD size.
I don't think artwork is included at this free site: http://itsonlyrockandroll.info/?p=58499
Favourite tracks for starters; Pearl On The String. The Island and It's Alright. Is that The Traveling Wilburys I'm hearing in the bridge?
Tim's voice is in fine fettle. Seems he's made a complete recovery after that throat surgery a couple of years back. :-)

Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
That's a better price.
Is there anyone else who thinks that if this album had been released as an Eagles album, with Tim, Don H, Joe, and (since we're speaking hypothetically) Glenn handling lead and backing vocals but otherwise identical, that there would be a great deal of satisfaction with it as a modern Eagles album?
-
Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
Leap Of Faith would certainly sell more as an Eagles album but I think it would sound very different, if the rest of the Eagles had put their considerable paw prints on it. I think it would make a good Poco album. :smile:

Yes, if it was an Eagles album it would be very different. However, I like thinking hypothetically. And I can imagine this as an Eagles album with exactly the same arrangements, just substituting other Eagles into the vocals singing exactly the same thing. If such an album existed, I think Eagles fans would be very happy.
-
Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
Well, at least fans of the early "country" Eagles would be pleased.
[That reads in a snarky tone but I certainly don't intend it that way. I only meant, of course, that Timmy's album is more remniscent of say PEF rather than Life in the Fast Lane.]
-
Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
I got my cds today. Did y'all notice the dedication in the lyrics insert?
"This album is dedicated to Roach, from Woodstock"
I will say it again, Timothy is a sweetheart. I know Glenn is smiling....
-
Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
HB, yes, I noticed it. :-) I had the same thought you had. He's such a beautiful soul.
-
Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
It makes good background music when I'm working. I find it soothing but upbeat. The only problem is that it makes me want to book a holiday - early favourites are "The Island" and "Slow Down".
-
Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
Finally got to listen to it on Spotify and love it!!! :D Really like the country and island themes as well. Love he wrote that for Glenn in the jacket.
-
Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
I saw that Houston Baby and wondered if anyone else had. Nothing flashy, just sweet and evocative of so many memories. I love it. Very understated just like Timothy.
-
Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
I am loving this CD! And the autograph! I did see the dedication. So simple, but so meaningful.
-
Re: Reviews and Opinions about Tim's album "Leap of Faith"
Since Timothy's album is out now, I thought I would make a new thread for thoughts about the music separate from our anticipation. I took the liberty of moving the posts from the other thread which were discussing the songs over to here.
I can't wait to get the album myself!

Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
Did anyone catch the interview with Jim Ladd on Sirius radio? I've read that it was long and good. (I don't think there's a way of listening to Sirius outside the US)
-
Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
Tim's album, Leap Of Faith, is available at CD Baby.
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/timothybschmit2
In the early days of internet shopping, CD Baby was one of many U.S. retailers I bought CDs from and was impressed enough to keep a mental note of the name. I'm not surprised they are still going strong while others have fallen by the wayside or have been sucked into Amazon.
I'm surprised at how quickly posts about Leap Of Faith have dried up. I'm still getting into it. Current fave is I Refuse. Initially I thought it's way off Tim's musical territory but it's grown on me. Is it Tim playing the guitar solo?

I caught it, UTW, and it really was very good. Jim Ladd is so good at what he does so Timothy really had a chance to talk at length about the origin of his thinking on the new songs, where he pulls from when he's writing (his life and his heart, of course), and a little about his past work with Poco and the Eagles. There was a tribute time for Glenn which was very touching, both men being audibly moved in their remembrances.
I actually spent the whole two hours that spanned the interview in my car that night, driving the city and the burbs, just listening. :inlove:

I've been listening to this CD daily, snippets always coming to mind as I go about my daily business. I'm prejudiced, of course, but I just love it. I find it difficult to pick favorites, as I can appreciate the different styles and tones that span the recording. I think it shows the range of his talents.
Re: I Refuse-
Awesome song! I love it when the bass kicks in hard.
Tim plays both electric guitar and bass on this recording, with Hank Linderman credited on Lead. Can someone who attended one of the live concerts help out with the solo information? I'm going to presume it's Timothy unless someone knows otherwise.

You'll have to go it alone" ......:rockon:

Re: Timothy's Upcoming Album "Leap of Faith"
Is the show available on archive to subscribers or only when it's transmitted? Not that that makes any difference to me. However, if anyone felt able to write up what was said in more detail, I'd love to read. (LuvTim, I understand that it would have been difficult for your to take notes as you drove around but I'm glad you were able to listen). I'm so used to everything being available online, that it's a shock when it isn't.
