According to ultimateclassicrock.com, Timothy B. Schmit recently said that there isn’t much of a chance of Eagles making new music because of the reaction to material from their last studio project. Long Road Out of Eden was released back in 2007 and in a recent interview Schmit recalled the results stating, “I sincerely doubt it, We toured behind our last album … and put in five to seven of those songs. But we don’t do them anymore because there wasn’t a big reaction. … When people come to see the Eagles, they want to hear ‘Best of My Love,’ ‘One of These Nights,’ all these things. So we give it to them.”
Schmit went on to say he was on a roll with his solo career stating that, “I tend to get things a little later than other people, I didn’t have a heyday solo career when I was younger, like many friends of mine. I didn’t have the tools, I didn’t have the knowledge. But three solo albums ago I started to write everything myself and produce, or co-produce, my own songs. I love the process. It gives me some sort of meaning.”
He also talked about the album having features from multiple big names saying that, “Basically, when a song gets to a certain point and needs something else, I try to think of who might be good on it, I called Lindsey [Buckingham] and John Fogerty, the same with Jackson [Browne]. And they all said yes. They were aiming to please me. In the past, I’ve sung for lots of different projects, so I know that feeling.”
