  • Description

    RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2019

    • Five early 70s albums from country rock stylists Poco.
    • Plus bonus tracks.
    • For fans of The Eagles, Flying Burrito Brothers and CSN&Y.
    • Featuring three members of the legendary Buffalo Springfield.

    Poco were originally formed by Richie Furay, Jim Messina and Rusty Young when Buffalo Springfield split in 1968, joined by George Grantham on drums and future Eagle Randy Meisner on bass. After Randy Meisner left to join the newly hatched Eagles, he was replaced on bass by another future Eagle, Timothy B. Schmit.

    This set kicks off with their fourth album, ‘A Good Feelin’ To Know’, released in September 1972, by which time they had been joined by Paul Cotton on guitar and vocals.

    Released a year later, their fifth LP ‘Crazy Eyes’ was recorded at RCA Victor studios in Los Angeles, it was produced by Jack Richardson, best known for his work with Alice Cooper, Bob Seger and Canada’s The Guess Who. It would be Richie Furay’s last Poco record for more than a decade, as he was already planning to jump ship to the newly formed country rock super-group, the Souther– Hillman–Furay Band with J.D. Souther and The Byrds’ Chris Hillman. Alongside the originals is an early take of Gram Parsons’ ‘Brass Buttons’, which would later appear on Parsons’ own ‘Grievous Angel’.

    Their seventh album, ‘Seven’, was their sixth studio record. Released in April 1974, it featured the single ‘Faith In The Families’. Bands didn’t hang around in the 1970s, and a mere six months later Poco followed ‘Seven’ with ‘Cantamos’, Spanish for “to sing” or “we sing”, which features the single ‘High And Dry’.

    Switching to ABC Records for their next few releases, the self-explanatory ‘Live’ had been recorded shortly after ‘Cantamos’ in November 1974, but not released until 1976.
