Poco

Musical Group

American country rock band formed in 1968 by Richie Furay, Jim Messina, Rusty Young, Randy Meisner and George Grantham.

Poco are considered pioneers of country rock. Tim Schmit joined Poco early in their career and later left to join the Eagles. Ritchie Furay departed in the mid-1970s; Rusty Young became the group's key multi-instrumentalist and principal frontman in later years.

DeBaser's reviews present Poco as a central American country-rock band with consistently praised albums from the early 1970s. Reviewers highlight strong harmonies, Rusty Young's multi-instrumental skill, and memorable tracks across several records. The overall reception in these reviews is positive and respectful.

For:Fans of 1970s country rock, classic rock listeners, and followers of vocal harmonies and steel-guitar-driven songs.

 Before Pink Floyd dedicated their famous album to their crazy diamond, Poco had already done something similar for another great, crazy rock figure: Gram Parsons.

 Fresh, compact album, with no or almost no drop in tone, among the best of the fifteen or so released by this amiable and reliable group.

 I consider Poco the best country rock band after the Eagles.
