Of all the pioneering country-rock bands of the late '60s, Poco may
well have been the one that got the hybrid the most right, at least
initially. The group's high-energy, joyous, and infectious songs
had none of the artfulness of the Byrds' attempt at fusing rock and
country, and none of the cache of hipness that weighed down both
the Eagles and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Poco just played and
had fun in an unassuming way, at least at the outset, because
latter-era Poco is every bit as laden with California cool as the
above named bands. This release from England's Beat Goes On Records
combines Poco's first two albums in a two-disc set, and it is an
inspired (and obvious) pairing, catching the band at its freshest
peak in the studio. Released in 1969, Pickin' Up the Pieces
features Richie Furay's title track, a song that seems to be a
comment on the breakup of Furay's previous band, Buffalo
Springfield (or at least the demise of some kind of relationship),
and it revels in the fresh new joy and freedom that comes with
"picking up the pieces" and starting over. Another striking cut
from the first album is pedal steel player Rusty Young's propulsive
instrumental "Grand Junction," which grew to be a centerpiece of
the group's live show. Poco, released in 1970, continues the joy
with Furay's most Springfield-like Poco song, "Hurry Up," and an
impossibly infectious song from Jim Messina, "You Better Think
Twice." Deliverin', a concert album released in 1971, continued the
bouncy, bubbling Poco sound, but the wheels started to change soon
after, as Messina left the group and was replaced by Paul Cotton.
Poco continued making fine albums, but the joyous energy of these
first three albums dissipated somewhat and the band drifted toward
the Eagles' model, which was less unique and innovative, but sold a
whole lot better. ~ Steve Leggett
