Max Carl

Backing vocals on "Working Man", Max is now signed to Glenn's label Mission Records and his wonderful new CD One Planet, One Groove is now in stores and receiving airplay. Go Max!




Jay Oliver

Worked on much of the Strange Weather recordings including co-composing a few of the selections, keyboards on "Common Ground" and "Call on Me (Theme from South of Sunset)"; bass on "This Way To Happiness"; Drums on "Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed" and "Call On Me".




Jimmy Johnson

He's one of the original Swampers! Wow! I don't have to say another thing!




Jack Mack and the Heart Attack

These guys have been collaborating with Glenn for many moons now. Their 1981 release Cardiac Party was produced by Glenn and he appears on several of the songs. The Heart Attack Horns showed up the day he recorded "I've Been Born Again" for his first solo album No Fun Aloud, they were there for "Let's Go Home" on The Allnighter, and they are all over Strange Weather. Cardiac Party has just been released on compact disc, be sure to head on over to the Jack Mack site to grab a copy for yourself. Every fan of Glenn's needs one!



Vince Melamed

Electric piano on Eagles Live; electric piano on "Let's Go Home".




Danny Kortchmar

Guitar on "I Volunteer", co-composer of "Love In The 21st Century".

Go through your stack of CDs, your cassettes, and your old albums. Count how many times Danny Kortchmar's name comes up as a sessions player, producer, and composer. From childhood friend James Taylor to the Fugs to Carole King's legendary Tapestry album, Danny Kortchmar has participated in some of the most memorable sessions in popular music. And if that weren't enough, he appeared in one of the classic "rockumentaries" of all times, Spinal Tap. (His character's name was Ronnie Pudding)
Danny's latest project, blues band Sloleak, was featured on the House of Blues Radio Hour last summer. (It ROCKS, but good luck trying to find it!) This page on Sloleak was all I could find on Danny, odd considering the impact he has had on contemporary music. Kootch, you need a web presence. Email me, babe, we'll talk.




Jack Tempchin

Jack has known Glenn ever since his Longbranch Pennywhistle days. Having contributed "Peaceful, Easy Feeling" to the Eagles debut album and "Already Gone" (co-written with Robb Strandlund) to the On The Border album, Jack has been riding shotgun throughout much of Glenn's solo career as well. Co-composer of almost every song on each of Glenn's solo albums and all but one of his charting singles, Jack also has been a Monstertone (but his name really isn't Floyd) on "Partytown", and provided backing vocals on "Better In The U.S.A." and "Sexy Girl"; also guitar on "Lovers' Moon". (You can hear Jack's version of "Lovers' Moon" if you visit his homepage.)




Maxine Waters

Recently, while paging through Gladys Knight's new autobiography, I saw a photograph of Ms. Knight with, "Congresswoman Maxine Waters". Imagine my surprise, and having confirmed that this is indeed the woman who, along with Julia and Oren Waters, provided powerful and soulful vocals to so many of Glenn's recordings, I am happy to provide a link to her congressional site.




Timothy B.Schmit

Backing vocals on "Let's Pretend We're Still In Love" and "Some Kind Of Blue", also some work together on "Last Mango In Paris" by Jimmy Buffett and, of course, their work together as members of the Eagles.




Bill Champlin

Bill became Chicago's lead singer in 1982, has released a few solo albums and also provided back-up vocals on 1982's I Volunteer, from Glenn's album No Fun Aloud.



Shaun Murphy, now with Little Feat, has sung backup for Glenn and toured with The Party of Two.
