Poco was an interesting band in that they were one of the first bands in the late 60's, along with the Flying Burrito Brothers, to start popularizing "country rock". They were also interesting because of band members that were known entities when the band was formed(Richie Furay and Jim Messina of Buffalo Springfield) and band members who would go on to have greater fame later in their careers(Randy Meisner and Timothy B. Schmit of the Eagles). Of course, Jim Messina would also go on to have more commercial success performing with Kenny Loggins through the 70's.
Country Rock is very much an acquired taste, as far as I am concerned. There is much that I like and much that I don't. This track is of the bluesier variety and comes off Poco's second album, Poco.
