Playin' It Cool is the debut solo studio album by American musician Timothy B. Schmit, the bass guitarist and co-lead vocalist for the Eagles.

The album was released in 1984 on Asylum in the United States and Europe.

The album features guest appearances from Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Steve Lukather, Carl Wilson, JD Souther and Rita Coolidge.

Reviewing for AllMusic, critic Rob Theakston wrote of the album "The production on several of these tunes sound antiquated in comparison to the super glossed production of the mid-eighties; almost reminiscent of Schmit's tunes in the Eagles.

It certainly doesn't help matters that many of his Southern California compadres (Henley, Carl Wilson, Joe Walsh and JD Souther) make guest appearances, leading to the notion that Playin' It Cool is an album that was several years in the making.
