I saw Poco live in the fall of 1970 (in college) and, in addition to what Harri said, they were simply one of the tightest bands --- EVER! Plus, something I never see comments about is the fantastic drumming - it adds soooo much to this song which is also one of my most favorite all time songs!
Thank you very much for your "Poco reaction" videos. I love Poco. Greetings from Norway, Europe.
I always loved Richie Furay's vocals and used to have his solo gospel LP
You are right about their harmonies, since two of their founding members came from "Buffalo Springfield" and Randy Meisner and Timothy B Schmidt who we remember from the Eagles.
Lots of great singers in that bunch!
Who were STOLEN by The Eagles
@@DENVEROUTDOORMANRandy left due to being shut out of mixing their first record / conflict with Richie. Tim left because Poco was a shell of its original by 1978, only Rusty remained. Perhaps Rusty and Paul wouldn't have written their two gold singles if the timeline had been different. Randy and Tim were adults who made adult decisions.
One of my favorite songs! Thanks!
Just heard Richie Furay sing this in Philly a couple weeks ago. Still sounds amazing.. and hard to believe he will be 80 in a few months.!😮
Thanks to your patron and you Harri. I saw these guys play at the last Atlanta International Pop Festival 1970. Listened to them for a long time. Thanks for bringing them back to me🤠
Thank you so much Harri and whoever requested this. Pure exhilaration. I owned this a long time ago when we all had amazing vinyl collections and have always loved it. Love poco!
Poco is actually half of Buffalo Springfield along with bassist Randy Meisner ( who played bass for The Eagles )
Also played bass for Rick Nelson (Stone Canyon Band)
I still remember how much I loved Poco's first album when it came out while I was in high school. After that, I was hooked, bought all their subsequent albums and saw them in concert 3 times in the early 70's.
Harri, thank you for giving Poco some recognition. One of my favorite bands and a country rock pioneer. You might like their song Ride the Country from the Good Feeling to Know album. Great harmonies and musicianship. The live version for the second live album is amazing too.
"Keep On Trying" is my favorite. "Crazy Love " is another beauty on the softer side. They could rock, too, of course. One of the loudest concerts I've ever been to was Poco at the Capital Theater in NYC around 1976.
I love them too! Try “Keep On Tryin’” ❤️❤️❤️
Poco's third album, _Deliverin'_ , was a live recording and displays fantastic musicianship and rapport with the audience. I'd love to see you react to the song "C'mon" from that release, since Rusty Young's steel guitar couples with the harmonies perfectly.
I believe Jim Messina was the producer, as well as a performing musician.
Exactly since most people only heard their top 40 stuff and not their best songs
The steel guitar does give it a country feel. They remind me of the Eagles. Wonderful analysis Harri.
Love this song! Way to go! Cheers.
In the 70's I thought I bought tickets to see Procol Harum at the Santa Monica Civic. Turned out to be Poco. Best mistake I ever made. Opened me up to a whole new genre'.
I made a mistake back in the day, thought I was going to see Deep Purple and ended up with Uriah Heep, I wasn't disappointed too long when Uriah started playing "Gypsy". Ended up being one of the best concerts I've ever been to!
So glad you're covering them. You're the only one. And they indeed are LEGENDS! "And Settlin' Down" from the same album is another great rocker. They made some great music in the 1980s and '90s, too! "Sagebrush Serenade" and "Rose of Cimarron" are two more classics.
And Cmon which rocks
But Boomerang way better
Ahh, those first 3-4 albums from Poco are absolute treats! :)
I love this. You could just do Poco for the next month for all I care. This song puts me in mind of And Settlin' Down, which is great. Brass Buttons would be extremely welcome too. Everything they do is wonderful. If Poco reminds me of anyone, and it's a stretch, it's the Doobie Brothers. Thanks for doing Poco. I'm crazy about them.
Absolutely nothing like Doobie brothers Poco way better and their harder rock songs were way better like short changed and Boomerang
Richie Furay has a great voice. He had a couple of good Christian LPs, too.This was one of POCO's bigger hits. They had so many talented people during their history. Thanks, Harri
Yes!, wtg Harry!! Poco needs some play and I appreciate you bringing them to the channel Can I suggest " Rose of Cimarron " as another great track from this band.
Hey Harry, I actually saw POCO in Las Vegas where I currently live two years ago and they were amazing. Still had most of the same lineup
Picking up the Pieces. Great piece of work by them. Melissa Ward here.
This was 1 of the 3 songs I suggested to you a couple of days back. Glad Greybeard got your ear. I think you will like the other 2 as well. Drivin Wheel & Too Many Nights To Long are the other 2, if you feel the Poco jones comin on.
Thanks for playing poco… Country rock pioneers ….the Eagles took both there bass players… please continue to play their music…
Another great pick Greybeard! Get out of my head! 😂😂
Yeah my head is a crazy place to be, so I guess we can be crazy together 😂😂
Nice review! Some other Poco songs that I think you would enjoy are: "You Better Think Twice", "Let's Dance Tonight", "And Settlin' Down" and "You Are the One".
Or Cmon or Nature of Love done love where Rusty solos on the Pedal Steel Guitar
You better think twice was originally done by Buffalo Springfield
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN I can't find any information that supports your statement. Perhaps Jim Messina wrote You Better Think Twice when he was part of Buffalo Springfield but it was recorded by Poco in 1970.
Harri my dear friend thank you so much for this! My Dad was rockin' up above with you! Brings back the days he would grab his harmonica and play along with many songs, especially Poco one of his all time favorite groups. He carried that ol' harmonica everywhere with him in his shirt pocket. From the bottom of my heart, thanks for doing this one. Good feeling to know you have a good friend in me my man! Also digging Harri in 4k now...lol
Hi GB, Nice job keeping the Poco train on track and rolling! This song has been in my head since last week. It's great how we took Harri from "Who are these guys" to "I love these guys"... fun!!!
@@michaelplotino7046 yeah Harri surprised me with this request. I made mention to him that I was putting this in my March requests, I guess he couldn't wait to hear it...lol. There's so much to show him. You keep it up on your end as well! Thanks Brooklyn Mike your a good dude!
Yes. Gotta say it too. Thanks for keeping Poco going.
I've been a huge Poco fan since a little kid. This song was my first exposure way way back when. I think this might have been the first song I learned in English. Before this it was always Banda, mariachi and cumbia since my dad and grandparents were from Mexico. This and Sister Golden Hair by America. My dad and uncles learned to play these just for this little white, blond Mexican to sing instead of Mariachi....BTW I freaking hate Mariachi...lol
@@greybeard2280 Thank you, likewise GB!
@@Timoeltejano thank you kindly! I love hearing from people when they give me thanks for bringing good memories up from a song I requested!
There are so, so many great and wonderful Poco songs. But I think the ultimate Poco song is the original studio version of "Rose of Cimarron" which showcases so many of this band's talents. Of course, this is just my opinion. Some other wonderful contenders include "Indian Summer", "The Dance", "All the Ways" (actually, almost anything from the Cantamos album), "Faith in the Families", "Keep on Trying", "Ghose Town", "How Many Moons", and on and on..........
Nope Cmon done live or Nature Of Love way better
Two of these guys were from Buffalo Springfield (if I'm not totally mistaken) who you just reacted to.
To know and love POCO for their collective genius is what I’m trying to do.
Their album Crazy Eyes is so good!❤
I remember when they played this at Cobo Arena, Detroit- Oct, 9th 1972 before Ten Years After took the stage..
Poco was performing So California country rock before The Eagles. Unfair that most people don't know this.
Their song "The Dance" from Indian Summer is a must listen to. It's actually three songs back to back to back.
Crazy Love also is a great time as is Call It Love! Two to watch next!
I don't think any band has made as many songs that I personally like than Poco. They stood the test of time since Buffalo Springfield until Paul and Rusty passed.
A real good one among several more like Crazy Love, Heart of The Night,And Call it Love.
They re in the Colorado Music Hall of Fame
"A Good Feelin' to Know" was written by Richie Furay, who was a founding member of Poco. I played this album A LOT back in the day. Two other songs I love from this LP are "I Can See Everything," which was written by Timothy B. Schmit, and Poco's cover of the Buffalo Springfield tune "Go and Say Goodbye." Richie was a founding member of the Buffalo Springfield too. Thank you for the reaction/review.
Richie Furay also wrote Kind Woman while with Buffalo Springfield and Poco's version is every bit as good as the original.
But Legend and Under The Gun much better and live is much better
For a more obscure song that'll scratch the slide guitar itch and is also funny as hell: "Amnesia," Pousette-Dart Band.
I think, Harri, for me, I hear a little Crosby, Stills & Nash, in Poco's harmonies. And even a little bit of early Doobies. Whatever the case, great song, great reaction!
Great song Harri
This was the best best period of Poco up thru the Cantamos album . Last really good one was Indian Summer .
Good Ritchie Furay song. I believe Paul Cotton on lead vocals, RIP.
Ritchie all the way.
Richie on lead vocal. How the hell was this not a hit?
@@apacheking9776 Unfortunetly the failure of this song and album is what ultimately lead Richie to leave Poco . This is probably numero uno as far a s Poco albums go .
The Dance!
Hi Harri, Really like your channel. Here's another band in the same genre of Poco. Try Pure Prairie League. Two Lane Highway is a great place to start! Also Falling In And Out Of Love/Amie is awesome.
Yes, never heard of them before even though they give such great musical pieces since the late 60s, 1968 to be exact.
I checked Richard Furay's chart. Guess what? He has Virgo rising signifying high quality work but late recognition OR someohe who is service oriented and not fame chasing.
Great band and I'm glad they are once again getting discovered. Some more great tracks from them are "Crazy Eyes", "Heart Of The Night", "You Better Think Twice" and "Magnolia".
But their Rock songs are better like America
I have many LP's by this band , you need to hear Crazy Eyes
They soon became Loggins & Messina, which created a lovely, earth-loving song called "Be Free". And there is a beautiful concert of its performance from the '70s, which give you a good sense of Jim Messina's mandolin and voice.
A perennial favorite. One of my first 5 albums was a Poco. The others were ELP's Tarkus, Pink Floyd's "Ummagumma", The Who, "Live at Leeds", Strawbs' "Hero & Heroine", and Genesis' "Selling England by the Pound". One Country Rock, One Rock, and 3 Progressive. My trend toward the progressive continued. All good. Tx Harri!
Strawbs now there's a group I haven't heard in a dog's age. I sense an introduction to Harri in the future...lol!
@@greybeard2280 Well I haven't heard "dog's age" in a dog's age! Always thought it funny, and used it for humorous effect. No idea where it's from.
I love me some Strawbs, and finally got to see them a decade ago.
@@MisterWondrous yeah I'm the dude who uses puns that are outdated, and most the time when I use them people have that "Deer in the headlights" look on their face. I love it!
You haven't done "Crazy Love" yet, have you?
Most of the songs from southern rockers the Outlaws has this sound with 3 guitars and 3 part harmony, unfortunately they are only known for Green Grass and High Tides. Check out any other song from first 4 albums. Not a bad song on Hurry Sundown.
Poco had a great range in their catalogue. They were right there.
Alice!
I want you just for me?
if you like Poco, check out Pure Prairie League
You know, many times good artists don’t get that big breakthrough and sometimes it’s actually for the better. Because then they can just continue to make the music the way they want it instead of record companies telling them what to do. Musical Youth for instance, were forced into a more soul/disco style for their second album as MCA thought it would work better for the US market. It didn’t, really. 🤷🏼♂️
If you want to hear Rusty Young doing more Steel Guitar do Poco on Nature of Love(the Live Version) or on Boomerang Live!! Definitely not top 40 garbage
Cmon is one of their best songs wasn't top 40
I remember the band's name from the time, but I was too far into Blues-Rock to bother with an obviously country-sounding name. My Loss. Keep an open mind. But not so open your brains fall out!
I had never heard of them until I saw them at the Atlanta International Pop Festival 1970 then I went home and bought everything they had released. One of my favorite bands of all time.
