by Poco.Poco, From the Native American Word meaning LITTLE.Poco is an American country rock band originally formed by Richie Furay and Jim Messina following the demise of their band Buffalo Springfield in 1968.Although the band was considered highly innovative and survived a number of personnel changes, it achieved only limited commercial success during its lifetime, which seemed to have ended when the group broke up in 1984.Since then, however, some of the members have "reformed" Poco in various groupings, and the latest version is still active today.Beginnings
During recording of the last Buffalo Springfield album, each of the three lead singers (Stephen Stills, Neil Young and Richie Furay) recorded songs without the other two.Jim Messina and pedal steel guitarist Rusty Young.Originally, the new group was named "Pogo", but it had to change its name when cartoonist Walt Kelly objected to their use of the name.Their first album, Pickin' Up the Pieces (1969) is considered one of the best and most important albums of a new musical genre that united country with rock music.Schmit subsequently replaced Meisner on both bass and vocals.Movin' Along
The studio album Poco (1970) and the live album Deliverin' (1971) followed.Poco's unique blending of the Bakersfield sound with energetic rock translated well to live performances, and the band developed a loyal following on the road.Messina chose to leave the band.He became a studio producer for Columbia Records, and, eventually, half of Loggins and Messina.The realigned Poco, now working on its third lineup on just its fourth album, hired Steve Cropper as producer and released From The Inside (1971), featuring Cotton's "Bad Weather", which became a signature song for the band.Although the Furay title track became the most recognizable Poco song of their early years, it completely failed to chart despite more critical acclaim.At the urging of Asylum Records president David Geffen, Furay then left Poco and joined with J.Poco decided not to replace Furay and continued as a quartet.Changes
Furay's departure provided an opportunity for Rusty Young.Young stepped up to become one of the band's primary songwriters and singers on subsequent albums.Seven (1974) and Cantamos (1974), their last two albums for Epic Records, established the group as a strong quartet without Furay.Head Over Heels (1975), Rose Of Cimarron (1976), and Indian Summer (1977) found the group augmenting their country rock sound with a more mainstream approach.Young Band, without Grantham.Poco at ABC's request.Thus, Grantham ended up out of Poco without ever choosing to leave.Number 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart in 1979, the biggest hit on the AC chart that year) and Cotton's "Heart of the Night".While 'Crazy Love' was riding up the charts, ABC Records was sold to MCA Records.Poco was retained by MCA and the Legend album was reissued on the MCA label.Without Harrison, the remaining members of Poco released Inamorata (1984).In the wake of changing musical tastes and a fickle marketplace in the early 1980s, Poco increasingly faded from the forefront of the popular music scene.After Poco
Furay, Schmit, and Grantham had, since their departures, each appeared at various times with Poco.After a lengthy recording hiatus, Poco reemerged with the successful Legacy (1989), reuniting original members Young, Furay, Messina, Grantham, and Meisner twenty years after Poco's debut.The album featured two top forty hits, 'Call it Love' and 'Nothing to Hide', and earned a gold album.Just like the early days, though, internal conflict disrupted the continuing success of this lineup, and it splintered and then disbanded in 1991.Although Young and Cotton continued to tour with a variety of members as Poco in subsequent years, Running Horse (2002) returned the band to the studio for the first time in thirteen years.The lineup consisted of Young, Cotton, Grantham, and Jack Sundrud (bass and vocals), who had toured with the band intermittently since the 1980s.DVD release Keeping The Legend Alive (2004).His recovery has been slow and expensive, and the group has created a donor fund on its official website, Poconut.The Present
Poco is still writing and recording a substantial volume of music, touring festivals and top rock venues in the United States, Canada and Europe, and doing solo projects.Young, Cotton, Sundrud, and veteran drummer George Lawrence comprise the current lineup.The current lineup of Poco was reunited with Richie Furay for a concert at the Wildwood Lodge in Steelville, Missouri, in May, 2007.Pickin' Up the Pieces review, All Music Guide.External links

List...Let me say right up front that I have been a big
fan of country rock music ever since hearing the "Pickin' Up The
Pieces" single from Poco's debut
album.Poco has remained a
favorite of mine through the years, although I always believed they
were overlooked as a significant influence on popular music into the
1970s and the "new country" movement in the 1990s.Having
previously
read one of Mr.The Eagles, Michael Nesmith
(remember The Monkees?...This is a tale masterfully
woven by Mr.Einarson, based on more than 60 exclusive interviews with
the originators and innovators of
country rock.The amount of information and level of detail
contained in these 288 pages is astounding, and there are 31 black and
white photographs (some of which I've never seen before).The
only improvement that I would recommend is the inclusion of a
comprehensive index in the next edition (this would really help in
finding information on specific artists).Even though I've been
following country rock music for years, I learned a lot from this
book.This
