wow

...

# 1970 Poco
# 1971 Deliverin'
# 1971 From The Inside
# 1972 A Good Feelin’ To Know
# 1973 Crazy Eyes

misread title as I like this shit poco record

Me, all I've ever heard are their two hits from '79, and I hated 'em both. But I'm not opposed to them on principle. I've no reason to believe I wouldn't like those early Epic LPs a lot more. More uncharted territory for country-rockers back in those early days, I would think.

A Good Feelin' to Know is a cheap and painless place to start. It also has a tune on it, Restrain, that crunches harder than most anything the Eagles did when they ventured into hard rock. Fairly eclectic for the genre.

I still love "Crazy Eyes".

if you are a byrds/buffalo springfield fan then you MUST own Pickin' Up The Pieces. so good.

ok so good feelin to know is blowing my mind two nights in a row. thx to scott! i am going to search out everything else asap.

Richie Furay's early solo work is also pretty great, including the first Souther-Hillman-Furay Band record...

Loved Furay/Messina Poco, not quite so much Paul Cotton Poco but Good Feelin' to Know does rock out. Also, apropos of not much, I once saw Poco open for...Yes.

whoa. my dad always tries to make me take his Poco vinyl when i visit home, but it look SO TERRIBLE..

Furay and Hillman are currently touring together.

take the poco, poortheatre.
i have gotten three poco LPs at the suggestion of scott and i have enjoyed ALL of them. that's one and a half-more LPs than the number of flying burrito brothers i like!

YouTube delivers your Poco:

You Better Think Twice A great early 70s time capsule moment

2009 Rhonda Vincent album has a Bluegrass version of Poco's "Crazy Love", which was their biggest hit at #17 in 1979.

Question for steel players on the board about that vid for "You Better Think Twice:" is it unusual for pedal steel players to play without picks? Sort of assumed everyone did, but really don't have any idea. Always loved the sound Rusty got from his instrument and maybe this is why. Or maybe he just doesn't use 'em in the video...

shit hot

damn LEGEND is smoooooooooove jamz, kind of the meeting point of country-rock and summery yacht rock

whoa:

Legend (1978), the Cotton-Young album with cover art by graphic artist (and later comedy actor) Phil Hartman, subsequently became the group's most commercially successful album.

been seriously digging the latter-day output. blue and gray, cowboys & englishmen, under the gun. i don't even really know who is on these albums at this point. i guess i can look. anyway, it doesn't seem that my poco love has any bounds. if i'm digging the 80's stuff and you are a 60's or 70's band then you are in some mighty select company, my friend. so many choice tracks! and i just love the sound.

Haha, Scott you're amazing! I gave up on Poco around "Cantamos,' sold 'em all, but kinda want to go get a few back. Have never even heard of those 80s records, though.

yeah, dude, you are beyond the pale with poco.
richie furay is playing near me soon...thinking about going. will be cheaper than seeing the springfield reunion anyway.

I'm not familiar with Poco really, but just in the last few days I've been grooving on the stuff they did with Linda Ronstadt in 1976 on Hasten Down the Wind.

My Poco fixation kind of fizzled out after 'Head Over Heels', though I do still love most of those first eight or nine albums. I did get that comp of their MCA years material and that has some good stuff too, but I figured it probably has most of the decent stuff from those latter day albums that Scott mentions above and never really thought of checking them out further. 'Legend' is reputed to be a good record though, I believe.

i like legend a lot. but i would say that. legend has chillwave jams.

jaxon needs later poco. for his beardo poco dj jam nites.

Somehow, I missed voting on this Poco poll. Just to say that vote would have made "Good Feelin'" part of a three-way tie.

Just listened to the 'Legend' track from YouTube above. Yep, album could be well worth a punt.

Poco is a way cooler band than you think they are. Many know them only for the adult-contemporary staple "Crazy Love", and maybe a few other country-pop hits. While not bad, most of these are from when most of the original band members had already left, and they offer little evidence of how great and innovative this band once was.

It started from some remnants of Buffalo Springfield after they broke up - including Richie Furay, Jim Messina, and session-player Rusty Young. Their first album, "Pickin' Up the Pieces" is a lost country-rock classic, every bit as appealing as anything Gram Parsons ever did IMO, and certainly better than the Eagles who copped their basic style (and two of their band members) from Poco. They were much more popular, but never as interesting. Several of their follow-up albums were equally impressive. Here's a sample:

"A Good Feelin' To Know":

Pulled Pickin' Up The Pieces off the shelf for no particular reason this afternoon, and my oh my it's hitting all the spots.

met a dude from firefall a few weeks back and didn't even know it

I imagine that's common among people he meets.

he is the man that you've always dreamed of
you knew it at the end

first poco album is pretty solid, i guess.

“I can see everything” is a legit gorgeous song.

Also strong candidate for the “dude sings like a lady” thread

JFC, the Marvel writers of the 70s thought they were artistes.

poco is awesome. got a nice copy of a good feeling to know for a buck recently

The MCU really missed the boat on a post-credits scene with Tony Stark, still in full armor minus the helmet, kicking back in his mansion's listening room, sipping a martini, calming down to some Poco after a rough battle with Ultron.
