    Awesome find! I’m not 100% sure but I believe he played on all the tracks but the first one (the title track which had a different producer and was recorded in Nashville on a different date from the rest).

    From the album’s Discogs Page:

    connorman1995 May 25, 2017
    referencing Singer Of Sad Songs, LP, LSP 4418

    Recorded October 29, 1969 RCA Victor Studio, Nashville

    Bass: Roy Huskey
    Drums: Kenneth Buttrey
    Piano: Hargus "Pig" Robbins
    Harmonica, organ, marimba: Charlie McCoy
    Vocals: James Cason, Sandra Robinson, Bergen White

    December 17, 18, 19, 1969 RCA Victor Studio, 6363 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA.
    Guitar: Donald Owens, Allen Kemp
    Guitar, fiddle: Sonny Curtis

    Harmonica: Carl Walden

    Dorothy DeLeonibus, Hoyt Hawkins, Neal Matthews, Gordon Stocker, Raymond Walker

    I continue to be impressed by Mr. Meisner.

    Thank you, D - that's very helpful and interesting.

    Sonny Curtis is the same fellow who was friends and bandmates with Buddy Holly. He wrote "I Fought the Law," which was a hit for the Bobby Fuller Four.

    Randy is so awesome, so very accomplished. He was never one to toot his own horn, so people don't know what all he's done.

    King of Hearts is a late 80s band which included Bruce Gaitsch and Kelly Keagy (formerly of Sister Christian). I think Timothy was briefly in it as well. They recorded an album “1989” but problems with management led to dissolution of the band. The album didn’t get released until 1999 in Japan. Both Timothy and Randy contributed backing vocals.

    This is one of the tracks, called “Working Man.”

    I’m beginning to wonder if there should be a separate thread for Randy/Timothy joint projects.

    Isn't it crazy and yet wonderful? I mean what was the story on that - were they/are they much better friends than they let on, or did they have the same agent or manager, what? They do sound amazing together. One wouldn't think they would (not enough contrast between their voices) but they do.

    FANTASTIC find on King of Hearts, Miss D. - you are something else, woman. Too smart by far.

    Delilah, check this out: apparently the band was created by Richard Marx's manager who wanted an opening act for the Poco tour of 1989/90. http://www.avenue-of-allies.com/inde...king-of-hearts

    Thanks for the link, NMB. It seems kind of odd to create band just to be an opening act but with the Richard Marx connection, it makes sense. I figured Bruce Gaitsch was the link between Randy and TBS. It does make me wonder how friendly they were back then. In interviews they haven’t really talked about that though.

    And your kind praise is appreciated.

    Gaitsch, and/or the manager Allen Kovac, now of 10th Street Entertainment.

    But Timmy and Randy worked together at least as early as Richie Furay's 1979 solo album.

    Well, there is this item in a 1974 issue of Billboard about a Tom Rush album.

    ”Studio Track” by Bob Kirsch, Billboard, page 18, July 6, 1974

    However, it’s not clear if they recorded on the same tracks, and if they did, the songs didn’t make it onto the album, Ladies Love Outlaws.

    !!! What a find, Delilah! Surely this qualifies as a significant contribution to Eagles scholarship: that they were working with Timmy as early as 1974.

    Randy, along with Wendy Waldman and Don Francisco, sings backing vocals on these tracks from Bob Welch’s 1980 album, Man Overboard.

    “Fate Decides” also includes Bunny Hull, Paulette Brown and Venetta Fields as backing vocalists.
