Expando Reviews!

Or 'Parachute' which would have got hold a Pole position also on the last Eagles album - the harmony arrangements and the guitarsoli make the song for the climax of the album.

Apparently we're not the only ones that think this would've been a good one for the Eagles. I have been wondering if this is one of the songs that Timothy took to the table that was rejected by the powers that be. Would love to know which ones were.

In an article new albums were introduced under it was also Expando! Here the part from Expando:

Timothy B. Schmit with "Expando" has already released his fifth solo album and in Germany has hardly anyone registered it.
Although Schmit is the bassist of the Eagles, and he recording with the cream of the US-American music scene. Keb Mo is just at the start as Benmont Tench from the Heartbreakers, Graham Nash, Van Dyke Parks or Kid Rock. All in all, is the absolutely relaxed album from a musician who to nobody more must prove something, and Schmit not only plays good bass, he also has voice.

Nothing new, but nice to see if Timothy B. Schmit is mentioned in the German press!

I agree Koala. Hope Tim continues to get lots of mentions throughout Europe.

Another german articel:

Even without the Eagles good: Timothy B. Schmit

At the legendary country-rock band he plays bass and sings great ballads such as "I Can not Tell You Why". His new solo album is called "expando".
With the Eagles, he made world career, his solo recordings, however, remained almost unknown: Timothy B. Schmit (62),Bassist and occasional singer of one of the most successful bands in the world, places with "expando" before the fifth album of his career.

His debut was in 1984 during the long Eagles break - with the LP "of Playin' It Cool".Three years later followed "Timothy B." with the only Top-40-Single-Hit of his career ''Boys Night Out'' (in the USA place 29).Both albums nevertheless managed to jump into the top 200 of the American charts, far away from the millions of copies,what the Eagles had reached.

Schmit still let hear from oneself again: Tell Me Truth" (1990) and "Feed The Fire" (2001), those albums thrilled only West Coast and Eagles fans however, in addition, it became quietly around the gifted musician with the beautifully soft voice, he recorded in the early 1970s with the country rock band Poco many good albums!

The written by himself and produced new album "Expando" is one of the most personal and musically diverse of his solo career. " Expando containing' growth and expansion, and that is what symbolizes the music on this album for me," Schmit said in an interview.
The complete album was recorded in Schmit's own studio at his home near Los Angeles. Other musicians were present like Keb' Mo', Graham Nash, Kid Rock, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Garth Hudson, Van Dyke Parks, Dwight Yoakam, Benmont Tench and Timothy's son Ben. Result: A good worth listening album to from the old school!

There is an ad for Expando in the current edition of the British satirical magazine Private Eye, of all places. It says 'as seen on breakfast TV'. My husband got a bit of a shock when he saw it.

Ah, good old Private Eye!

I can not understand the 'non attention' Tim is getting over here. There is just no excuse. '...invisible..' is a good word to describe it. It's inexplicable. Especially considering how well he is doing on the airwaves in England.

Have nothing to add except .
