    I should've checked before I posted but Szymcyck didn't produce Michael Stanley's most recent album(s).

    Unlike the Eagles, Michael Stanley's second act has been very prolific;

    1996 Coming up for Air
    1998 Live in Tangiers: The Acoustic Shows
    2000 Eighteen Down
    2003 The Ground Line
    2005 American Road
    2006 The Farrago Sessions
    2007 The Soft Addictions
    2008 Just Another Night
    2009 Shadowland
    2012 The Hang
    2013 The Ride
    2014 The Job
    2015 And Then…

    Most albums were produced by Michael Stanley and mixed by Bill Szymczck.

    "to rekindle a working relationship with my dear friend and mentor Bill Szymczyk was just the perfect icing on the cake"

    By all accounts, recording with the Eagles isn't a fun experience. I can't see Bill coming out of retirement to re-enter that pressure cooker. I'd still ask him though

    Back on topic, I've been trying to think of where Joe's head was at when he was working on How Ya Doin'. I'm coming up blank. It doesn't work on any level as far as I'm concerned.

    I believe the term is 3 sheets to the wind! Under the influence! Snorting too much of Stevie's coke, etc................ It's a b-side so it's obvious that he knew it wasn't going to be another Rocky Mountain Way or even Life of Illusion.

    lol! I gotta agree with you, MV. However, I still kinda like the music and think the song had some potential to be a lot better if he had developed the lyrics. Maybe not another Life's Been Good, but some of Joe's creative, querky lyrics could have certainly provided some entertainment value!

    This is making me want to start a new thread speculating on what deep tracks Joe might play on the new tour - or at least what we hope he will. I guess it should go in "on the road" so off I go!
