I didn't listen to Poco when I was younger ...
I did. Deliverin' was the first Poco album I heard, and when I did, I loved it. I no longer remember when that was, but early 70s. I already knew of Richie Furay from Buffalo Springfield, and I may have known then that Jim Messina worked on the Springfield's last album. My friends and I had all the early Poco albums and kept up with the lineup changes.
I loved Cotton's guitar playing, and the band's harmonies.
Poco had lots of potential, but it seemed to me that they always had only one or two really good songs on each album. But the really good ones were really good. Still have the CDs, and from time to time, still listen to the good ones. My favorite, Rose of Cimarron; listening to it now.
