About The Record:

Timothy B, by Timothy B. Schmit, marks the solo debut of the veteran vocalist best known as the bassist and harmony singer for the Eagles, showcasing a shift toward sophisticated blue-eyed soul and adult contemporary pop. Historically significant for bridging the classic rock era with the burgeoning smooth jazz fusion scene of the late 1980s, the album features Schmit's lush, emotive delivery over polished arrangements blending electric guitars, keyboards, and subtle horn sections. A unique fact is that it was largely co-written and co-produced by Schmit himself alongside session collaborators, recorded in intimate Los Angeles studios that captured his personal songwriting evolution post-Eagles hiatus. Fan-favorites among listeners include the upbeat opener Boys Night Out, the heartfelt ballad Hold Me In Your Heart, and the extended groove Down Here People Dance Forever, praised for their infectious melodies and radio-friendly polish.
