The bassist behind one of the most popular rock bands of all time is prepping for a new solo release with some big name guests. Timothy B. Schmit’s new album, “Expando”, will hit record stores on October 20th with 11 new tracks. Each of which seems to be stacked with a big name guest artist including Kid Rock, Graham Nash, Kenny Wayne Shepard, country star Dwight Yoakam, and blues sensation Keb’ Mo’.

According to Billboard:

Schmit adds that he had little trouble lining up guests to be part of “Expando.” “It’s pretty great because I didn’t even go through management to get most of these guys,” he says. “I would call these people myself and just set it all up. Everybody came to my house, my studio, and it was really, really great. I thought, ‘Why not just try asking some of these people that I really admire? What’s the worst that could happen — they might say ‘no,’ and some (others) did, but the people I mentioned were all sitting here in my studio and had a lot of fun.”

Of course, don’t expect to see any Eagles bandmates on the bill. Schmit has decided to use “Expando” as a means to put some ‘distance between them’ this time around.
