    Maybe... Guess I was in a 'Miss Troubadour' kind of mood. Think you'll be allowed to ask your kids to call you that?

    I was actually thinking when I read it that I wish my name was Miss Troubadour!

    Ummm.... WOW.... Looking at my above post, that probably wasn't a whole lot of help to narrow it down, was it? Sorry about that, but I did include some "deep tracks" but I must add that you could consider most of his albums all deep tracks since most people are clueless about ANY of his stuff, sad to say, but true.

    Also wanted to add after re-reading your original post--as for his backing vocals.... He's done TONS of them and I have made myself almost crazy over the years trying to collect them all, especially his old stuff on albums. But the ones that really stick out for me is Steely Dan's Aja & Pretzel Logic. But he's also done background vocals on Bob Segar, Dan Fogelberg, Boz Scaggs, America, etc... this list goes on and on. I'm sure Soda has them listed on the TimothyBSchmitonline.com site.

    In fact, if you haven't already, make sure you tell your sister to hit up that site. It has ALL the info she'll ever need about Timothy.

    And tell her welcome to the club!!!

    Speaking of backing vocals, I want to mention I Won't Hold You Back by Toto. Timothy sings on it and you can really hear him in the chorus. Lefsetz wrote about this track here, and sang Timothy B's praises!

    Ok - new fan but can't stop listening to TBS solo trax:

    Something Sad (really touching)
    Compassion (nearly criticises someone then backs off)
    Let Me Go (Tim gets tough then thinks better of it)
    Every Song Is You
    Caroline No (Beach Boys cover)
    So Much in Love

    and with Poco:

    as already suggested:
    Keep On Tryin'
    Rose of Cimarron
    and he may not sing lead but still sounds lovely on:
    Just for Me and You
    Magnolia (J. J. Cale cover)

    I'd like to add a few more Poco songs. They were the most underrated band! Sorry if some of these are repeats.

    First of all, I agree that she should buy the Expando album since it is still commercially available unlike Tim's other solo albums. I also agree with most of the songs that others have mentioned here with a couple of exceptions. I'm not nearly as crazy about Something Sad or Top of the Stairs as others here; and I would also add In Roxy's Eyes as a 'must have'. There are several threads in this forum where all of Tim's albums are discussed that I would recommend reading if you are interested in others opinions. Here's one where the topic is similar to this one ...

    I actually burned a CD which was my compilation of 'The Very Best of Timothy B Schmit' and really enjoy listening to it. When I get more time, I'll post the list of songs that I included on it.

    Definitely Let It Be Me, the duet with Jackson Browne. I could listen to that song every day for the rest of my life. What a gem.
