You'd better think twice (Poco) (LP 3516)

Poco  Deliverin' (Vinyl, Epic Records, 1971) ****  

GenreCountry rock 

Places I remember: Slow Boat Records

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Kind Woman

Gear costume: You'd Better Think Twice 

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5

Active compensatory factors: If you have ever wondered what Buffalo Springfield would be like without Stills and Young, you should listen to this album. Richie Furay and Jim Messina carry on the proud tradition of Buffalo Springfield along with Rusty Young (no relation) and Timothy B. Schmit.

Live is where these guys excelled. As AllMusic says: About as perfect an album as they ever made and, not coincidentally, by far the biggest seller the early group ever had.

The Eagles members were certainly paying attention. In a parallel universe - Poco are as huge as The Eagles.

Where do they all belong? A great addition to the country rock section.
