Timothy B. Schmit - Leap Of Faith on CD

Description

Written and tracked during breaks in the The Eagles’ touring schedule, this record shines a light not only on Schmit's voice, which remains remarkably untouched by the decades that have elapsed since he sang his band's final hit, ‘I Can't Tell You Why,’ but also the songwriting chops of an Americana pioneer. Long before that genre had a name, Schmit helped glue the nuance of country and bluegrass to the noise of rock. If the music on Leap of Faith sounds somewhat familiar, it's because Schmit now shares the marketplace with songwriters who grew up studying his work with Poco and the Eagles. Recorded at his Los Angeles studio and co-produced with engineer Hank Linderman, Leap Of Faith is a strong mix of rock, country, Americana, R&B and even a bit of reggae. Leap Of Faith marks the culmination of Schmit’s unhurried, yet inspired reflections of life.
