Don't be too jealous, but I was listening to Poco in college in 1975-78. Beautiful voices. I've said it before, I'll say it again.....I'm so lucky to have grown up in the greatest era of music. The 70',80's90's. There will NEVER music like that again....ever.
The Album cover was drawn by Phil Hartman of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE fame. He was killed by his wife many years ago. His brother was Poco's manager at the time. Zeppelin was still around in 78 by the way. Their IN THRU THE OUT DOOR album came out 1-2 years later...about the same time as Pink Floyd's THE WALL
Randy Meisner was a bass player for Poco. He then joined the Eagles and did high harmonies. Timothy B. Schmit took his place in Poco. When Meisner left Poco, Schmit joined the Eagles to fill in the harmonies and play bass.
I listened to Poco all through college in the 70’s! Timothy B. Schmidt’s voice is amazing and took over for Randy Meisner of Poco who went to play with the Eagles, then Randy left the Eagles and Timothy took over for Randy to present! Crazy how that all worked out! (No pun intended)
I listened to Poco through high school. Country rock remains my favorite genre. Some good stuff from the early 70s includes: I Can See Everything (featuring Timothy B. Schmit who replaced Randy Meisner on bass when he left for the Eagles), Here We Go Again, A Good Feeling To Know and Crazy Eyes (featuring Richie Furay from Buffalo Springfield), Sagebrush Serenade (really the entire Cantamos album), and Keep On Trying. It's hard to go wrong with Poco.
If I have the details correct, Randy Meisner was in Poco, and when he left to join the Eagles he was replaced by Timothy B. Schmidt. Then Randy Meisner left the Eagles and he was replaced by...Timothy B. Schmidt.
Poco had Jim Messina Richie Furay Timothy B Schmit who played with other great groups ..I got to see them in 1975 in Baltimore with Dave Mason...my group sang this song in cafes and clubs
Along with The Byrds (in their later albums), Poco played a crucial, foundational role in starting the "country-rock" movement in the late '60s and early '70s. Two members of Poco ultimately left the band to join The Eagles, who had much more commercial success, but I generally prefer Poco. They wrote and recorded so many beautiful songs, and some truly rocking songs too! They have a deep catalogue of great albums.
Poco formed in 1968 By Richie Furay & Jim Messina after the breakup of Buffalo Springfield. Randy Meisner was their original Bassist, but left after their first album. He would go on to co found The Eagles in 1971. His replacement, Timothy B Schmidt would eventually leave in 1977 to join The Eagles, once again replacing Meisner. They were one of the early Southern California Country Rock bands that started that trend.
POCO gives me a Pure Prairie League, Seals and Croft, Eagles vocal sound, great harmonies, acoustic guitar, real smooth vocals, very easy to listen to and enjoy.
@@davehess1019 Have you seen the great live concert on YT, "Sittin' In Again at the Santa Barbara Bowl (2005)”, Messina does a killer performance of “Trilogy: Lovin' Me / To Make a Woman Feel Wanted / Peace of Mind” (33:25)… I sure wish we could get a reaction to that!
@@betseyr.9081 No I haven't, I will check that out, I grew up listening to music every day, and even now, I listen to music when I work and instead of listening to the TV, I listen to music, I love Kenny Loggins so I will definitely check out what you posted, Thank you very much Betsey.
Yeah, I liked them. Kinda Eagles ‘lite’ if there is such a thing. Sort of America-like as well. All around the same era…my high school days. Oh, a bit of Pure Prairie League thrown in for good measure. I liked them all, brings me back to the ‘good ol’ days’! 😀
Poco was made up of members of Buffalo Springfield, Flying Burrito Brothers, Loggins and Messina...WAAAAAY before the Eagles. Their later 70's/Early 80's output is HARDER than the Eagles.
I graduated high school in 1978... Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Poco, Toto, Peter Frampton and Heart plus so much more... Because of all that music that I got to hear at a young age I decided to be a Dj because of it...
Lovely song. Poco were bigger in the US than in the UK. Those over here who liked Buffalo Springfield, and there were quite a few I guess, would have followed the break-up of that band in 1968 and watched what each member decided to do. So Stephen Stills got together with Crosby and Nash, Neil Young went solo as well as putting Crazy Horse together, and Richie Furay and Jim Messina formed Poco which is how I first got to listen to them. They were never really pushed or marketed well in the UK and I lost interest after a couple of albums. I do remember a lot of airplay for 'Rose Of Cimarron' in the mid seventies though.
Poco is a great band and founding country rock pioneers. Lots of great stuff. The bass player, Timothy B Schmidt was a great high harmonizing singer and is featured on lots of background vocals Steely Dan’s FM for one. He later joined the Eagles after Randy Meisner departed the band. You will find lots of great Poco songs out there. That whole album is a good album. I believe that you reacted to Indian summer by Poco earlier. It was one I wanted to request that’s why I can remember it. Great stuff keep it coming. Keep digging. Keep doing new stuff. Love to hear your reactions. 👍👍
The 70's rock group is Player, the song is "Baby come back", check it out sometime, great song, very popular in the 70's, I think you will like it a lot, another 70's group named Starbuck, they have a song called, " Moonlight feels right" another great song, there's a solo in this song of an instrument that's rarely every played in a song, I think you two will find it very interesting.
There are several incarnations of Poco. The first has Jim Messina (later Loggins and Messina) and Richie Furay (ex-Buffalo Springfield and ex-Souther, Hillman, Furay band). Both left and the main singers were George Grantham and Timothy Shmit (later Eagles). You are listening the inferior later band although they were always good. Try the Messina Furay version. The genre is country rock and there was truck loads of it in the seventies.
Lp came out year I graduated high school. I got emotional listening as this was a favorite song and lp for me and my now deceased wife while we were dating.
One of the classic Poco numbers showcases the guitars of Richard Furay, Jim Messina and Rusty Young on an organ-rigged steel guitar. It's called "Don't Let It Pass By / Nobody's Fool, El Tonto De Nadie, Regresa" - all on side two of their 1970 self titled album. Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/E-K763ihs_w/v-deo.html
Phil Hartman talked about the cover art on Johnny Carson or David Letterman but yea he made the cover art and he had a terrile wife.. Crazy Eyes is a great song as well
Poco was around way before The Eagle and as you must know....stole a couple of their bass players...(Timothy sings back up on Steely Dan records!! look him up finally!! If Donald picked him, you know he's the Best! Donald played Synths on Poco's previous album Indian Summer, another beautiful song!!) This was their 11th album!!!
Please do 10 cc - feel the benefit part 1-2 British art rock Poco is country rock from California in the late 60s Both great bands but totally different music
If you like this genre (I do), check out Venice. It's a lesser known band (at least in the US) out of Venice California, and they have great acoustic guitar work and vocal harmonies. Think POCO / 1CC meets CSN.
If you haven't, you need to do Treetop Flyer from Stephen Stills album Stills Alone. Great acoustic song. The whole album is great if you like his acoustic style.
Love this song. I agree with wfj50 about the song Call it love, it`a favorite of mine. There are so many good songs like this, I`m glad you`re going down this road.
oh my god, I haven't heard this song in a long time, such a great song, me, my mom and younger brother used to sing along to this song when it would come on the radio when I was a kid, this brings back memories of my mom, she was such a great singer and she taught me, my sister and younger brother to sing but my sister and brother didn't keep it going but I continued to sing with mom, just to the radio nothing serious, Thank you NicknLex, great song, you made my day, Thank you
I always thought of this song, and others like it as “soft rock” or “country rock”. This particular song was played on many different radio station formats. It was always a great “slow dance” song at school dances. ❤
POCO was more like The Eagles, and also 2 bass player went to the Eagles, the sound has nothing to do with 10CC, POCO made a kind of Country Rock. The second bass player who joined in about 1977, 78 The Eagles, was Tim Schmit !! (the one with those long hair)
Voy a daros unas sugerencias con un estilo parecido al de 10 cc - I´m Not In love, con esas atmosferas envolventes = INTERPRETE CANCION DOUBLE The Captain Of Her Heart (1985) (Special Long Version) Duracion 6 minutos y 12 segundos
THE KORGIS Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime (1980) Duración 4 minutos y 11 segundos THE CARS Heartbeat City (1984) Duracion 4 minutos y 30 segundos THE STRANGLERS Always The Sun (1986) Duracion 4 minutos y 4 segundos En los años 80, estas canciones eran muy reproducidas en las discotecas, en los momentos en la que ponían música lenta y suave para que descansara el personal, después de poner temas marchosos y frenéticos
You'll love "Heart of the Night"
Add “Magnolia” from the same album as well (but for me there is no beating “Crazy Eyes”).
Poco was one of the most underrated bands ever! My favorite song of theirs is Call it Love!
Don't be too jealous, but I was listening to Poco in college in 1975-78. Beautiful voices. I've said it before, I'll say it again.....I'm so lucky to have grown up in the greatest era of music. The 70',80's90's. There will NEVER music like that again....ever.
My favorite band in college.... saw them 4 times in concert. RIP Rusty and Paul.

Hey Jerry, was Randy the bass player who sings the Eagles song " I can't tell you why"?
@@davehess1019Timothy B. Schmit wrote and sang lead on I Can't Tell You Why.
@@jerrykrull9436 ok, Thank you Jerry...
Randy sang the classic "Take it to the Limit " never to be forgotten .............
Great song on a great album. I hope you listen to Boomerang and Legend on this album. Crazy Love is such a fantastic song!
Heart of the Night is a good one!❤
I listened to Poco all through college in the 70’s! Timothy B. Schmidt’s voice is amazing and took over for Randy Meisner of Poco who went to play with the Eagles, then Randy left the Eagles and Timothy took over for Randy to present! Crazy how that all worked out! (No pun intended)

Loved it in 1978. Still do! ❤
'Kind Woman'. Great Poco song. Rusty Young on pedal steel.
Indian Summer.
If I have the details correct, Randy Meisner was in Poco, and when he left to join the Eagles he was replaced by Timothy B. Schmidt. Then Randy Meisner left the Eagles and he was replaced by...Timothy B. Schmidt.
The late actor and comedian Phil Hartman was a graphic designer before he went into show business, and he designed that album cover.
Wow. That's a trivial comment!!!! Interesting
F!rst!!!!!
OMG, one of my fave love songs. Often do this for karaoke!!
Listening again, I hear some Kansas-esque accoustics.
Bet you would like Paul Davis hits I Go Crazy or Cool Night and Michael Martin Murphy's Wildfire.
3 of my all-time favorite songs, 3 incredible songs

Good Feeling To Know always my Poco fave.

You should have added Loggins & Messina since Jim Messina was a part of Poco as well.
@@betseyr.9081 oh yeah, that's right, Thank you Betsy, I forgot about Loggins and Messina

Speaking of Pure Prarie League, try Amiee, but use Falling InAnd Out of Love as a lead in.
Yeah, I liked them. Kinda Eagles ‘lite’ if there is such a thing. Sort of America-like as well. All around the same era…my high school days. Oh, a bit of Pure Prairie League thrown in for good measure. I liked them all, brings me back to the ‘good ol’ days’! 😀

Gorgeous song!!
If you like these beautiful harmonies, you will also like the songs 'Sails' and 'Dance With Me' by the band 'Orleans' (also 70's music).
LOVE this song! And btw, I think Poco may have existed before the Eagles.

Such a great nice sounding tune! Never gets old. Please do Heart Hotels by Dan Fogelberg

Phil Hartman talked about the cover art on Johnny Carson or David Letterman but yea he made the cover art and he had a terrile wife.. Crazy Eyes is a great song as well
I saw Poco in Philadelphia in 76 i believe, as the opening act for Renaissance. Strange combination of music, but good
Man, by this point Poco had gone pop. Listen to their eponymous album If you want to hear them at their best.
Maybe it’s pop, but it’s incredible pop. Pop isn’t always bad.
Poco was around way before The Eagle and as you must know....stole a couple of their bass players...(Timothy sings back up on Steely Dan records!! look him up finally!! If Donald picked him, you know he's the Best! Donald played Synths on Poco's previous album Indian Summer, another beautiful song!!) This was their 11th album!!!
Please do 10 cc - feel the benefit part 1-2 British art rock
Poco is country rock from California in the late 60s
Both great bands but totally different music
Feel the benefit is a great song. Their live version is much better than the studio version. Graham Gouldman does a great bass solo in that version.
I Can See Everytihng by Poco is a wonderful song
Zeppelin wasn't over by 1978. John Bonham died in 1980 and then they ended the band later that year.
If you like this genre (I do), check out Venice. It's a lesser known band (at least in the US) out of Venice California, and they have great acoustic guitar work and vocal harmonies. Think POCO / 1CC meets CSN.
Poco was like a mix of Eagles, CSN and America ! :) maybe a little Bread for good luck .
I know it’s asking a lot but if you have 18 minutes to spare then listen to Poco performing nobody’s fool…just great musical rock solos
If you haven't, you need to do Treetop Flyer from Stephen Stills album Stills Alone. Great acoustic song. The whole album is great if you like his acoustic style.
Love this song. I agree with wfj50 about the song Call it love, it`a favorite of mine. There are so many good songs like this, I`m glad you`re going down this road.

Hola!!! Cuando gusten y puedan reaccionen a Jim Croce. Saludos desde Temperley, BsAs.
A similar sound is the pop group Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds.
OK I found this Phil Hartman on SNL + CSN & Poco album design - Later with Bob Costas 3/20/91 Tom Snyder
it sounds a little to a band America the syile and voice very good the song
I always thought of this song, and others like it as “soft rock” or “country rock”. This particular song was played on many different radio station formats. It was always a great “slow dance” song at school dances. ❤
No Picqito is Spanish
Word For Small
POCO is something Else
POCO was more like The Eagles, and also 2 bass player went to the Eagles, the sound has nothing to do with 10CC, POCO made a kind of Country Rock. The second bass player who joined in about 1977, 78 The Eagles, was Tim Schmit !! (the one with those long hair)
The Beatles?😂
love Poco... but get back to more RUSH!
Poco is not even remotely like 10CC. They are folk rock; more Buffalo Springfield or CSN&Y.
