35.0. "Poco" by RDGENG::KEDMUNDS (but I haven't got an fm2r...) Wed Apr 13 1988 00:25

21.9�    Anyone listened to an album titled "Rose of Cimarron" by Poco
21.9�    very eagleish....I played this album for 4 years non-stop. I think
21.9�    it is fabaroonie!!!!! Comments please?!?
    
	"Rose of cimarron" is good, but I prefer "Head over Heels" and
    "Indian Summer" - as Poco are not that well know, you can often
    pick their albums up cheaply (I paid 75p for "Head over Heels"!).
    I tend to find that about half the tracks on each album are good,
    with the rest being "average" - but then that's true of a lot of
    albums..! Certainly worth listening to if you like the Eagles (ask
    me nicely!)

    	Yup, I've got Rose of Cimarron, it is indeed great stuff. What's
    	the name of the guy who was their singer Ritchie Furey??, the
    	band weren't so good without him.
    
    	Doug.
35.2Crosby, Stills and NashIPG::MORGANThis Is Car 55, We&#039;re In A TruckWed Apr 13 1988 22:102
    Wasn't Stephen Stills in the line-up as was Dave Crosby - both prior
    to CSN & Y ???.
35.3Buffalo Springfield leftoversLARVAE::DSMNigel BarkerWed Apr 27 1988 12:334
I think the remnants of Buffalo Springfield became Poco after Stills and Neil 
Young left.

35.4Yes!SUBURB::FOXSThe Foxy Lady ;-)Thu Jun 09 1988 18:317
    Yes!  I've got it and I think it's very good too!  In fact, we were
    looking for an unusual name for our dog and when looking through
    our record collection came up with his name............Poco!
    
    If you like Poco, I think you'd also like the Outlaws.
    
    Yes?

    If .-1 refers to my offer of playing POCO - it's always open! As
    with most music enthusiasts, I jump at the chance to play my faves
    to others..! Appointments by mail; bring beer...

35.7Buffalo Springfield45466::JANSEN_JFri Jan 13 1989 12:3513
    Jeff Jansen from SBP
    
    Ritchie Furey founded the band with Jim Messina who were both members
    of Buffalo Springfield along with Stephen Stills and Neil Young.
    
    I would be interested in knowing which albums by Poco are still
    available as RF was a good lyricist and singer.
    
    Worth checking out is the "Buffalo Springfield Again" Album which
    I believe is still available
    
    Regards

35.8A sad loss...AYOV28::MDONNELLYI try to be a daily geniusFri Jan 13 1989 12:5912
    
    
    I used to have a copy of the Buffalo Springfield album (with that
    excellent opening track "For what it's worth") and Poco's Head over
    heels album but I've lost them both!
    
    Something to do with moving house/flat 6 times in 2 years when I
    was younger I expect.

35.9 ...love the one your with!!!GAO::DKEATINGShake Your Money MakerFri Jan 13 1989 13:355
    Also worth checking are the albums by a band called Manassas(sp)
    which also featured Stephen Stills and a guy called Joe Lala on
    percussion.

35.10more trivial infoLEROUF::MERRICKIf it&#039;s understood, it&#039;s not finishedFri Jan 13 1989 14:049
    Manassas featured ex-Burrito Bros  AL Perkins and Chris Hillman. The
    story goes that Stephen Stills  asked Perkins and Harris to record an
    album withhim along with sessionplayes Joe Lala and Paul Harris. So
    successful were the sessions that they formed the grpoup Manassas.
    Dallas Taylor was the original drummer, and Calvin "Fuzzy" Samuels the
    bassist (later to be replaced by Kenny Passarelli). Perkins, Hillman
    and Harris later formed the Souther Hillman Furay Band.

35.11BAGELS::K_EDMUNDSBut I haven&#039;t got an fm2r...Wed Jan 18 1989 16:424
    I think all Poco albums are still available. I recently saw "Head
    Over Heels" on CD - very tempting! Perhaps next time.

35.12My only Poco track...BREW11::LAWTONLand rights for gay whalesSat Dec 09 1989 13:067
    I've got "You Better Think Twice" on a CBS sampler album ("Rockbuster)
    that cost me 50p back in 1972........I've since seen the same album
    in a rare record store for 50 pounds!
