Poco - Legend

I knew Poco from "Crazy Love" a nice and easy radio friendly hit growing up. As an Eagles fan I knew about Poco because they seemed to leak bass players. First Randy Meisner, and then a few years later Timothy B. Schmit. Mr. Schmit had the distinction of first replacing Randy in Poco, and then doing so again in the Eagles. "Crazy Love" was a pretty cool song, and even though I liked some "country" rock I never got any of their albums. Now to put this in context, this wasn't a snub. Back in 1978 I didn't have a lot of records. I had a small allowance and no job - so I didn't have the means to go out an indulge. However, in later years when I'd be making up for lost time picking up the early Eagles albums and similar records, it never crossed my mind to look for Poco. I got lucky and found a decent, but very dirty (cover, and vinyl) copy of the album in the dollar bin. As expected there was no insert, but everything cleaned up really nicely ...
