SO SMOOTH!| FIRST TIME HEARING Poco - Crazy Love REACTION

[@coffee-xg6my]

The bass player for this band Timothy Schmit became the bass player for the Eagles after Randy Meisner left. Incidentally, Randy Meisner was the bass player for Poco until 1969 when Timothy replaced him. So, basically Timothy followed everywhere that Randy went, lol. Two great musicians

[@kona883]

Randy left to join the Eagles then Tim took his place!

[@KeithSpinneyMusic]

Both also great songwriters.

[@nikaltesla9400]

Timothy B Schmidt also did session work and is an extra voice in the chorus of AFRICA, by Toto. He also was Jimmy Buffet's Coral Reefer band after The Eagles broke up and is credited with coming up with the term Parrothead.

[@robertberger5639]

The original Poco, formed in 1968 had Richie Furay and Jim Messina as founding members. Before they started Poco, they also happened to be members of Buffalo Springfield who, as you know, also had Stephen Stills and Neil Young as members. And, yes, Jim is the Messina from Loggins and Messina. By the time this song you reacted to just now was produced the band had many personnel changes. Furay and Messina were no longer with them and neither was another founding member of the band, Randy Meisner, who went on to be a founding member of The Eagles. Meisner just died a few months ago.

[@sallyphillips9175]

When I saw them in the early 90s, Meinser and Messina were with them ... at least for that show!

[@dillodefense]

Don't forget Timothy B. Schmidt was part of Poco. He replaced Meisner in both Poco, then, in the Eagles.

TRUST ME on this classic,, Poco "It's A Good Feelin' To Know"

[@kejola1969]

Poco was once jokingly referred to as the Eagles minor league team since they nabbed Randy Meisner and later Timothy B. Schmitt from them. My personal favorite tune by Poco is "Rose of Cimaron", definately worth a listen.

[@markstoudenmire4935]

Without a doubt my favorite Poco song as well! In fact, I'm gonna listen to it right now....

[@rhm5158]

Absolutely love Rose of cimarron!!

[@dennisdare212]

Rose of Cimarron is my favorite song of Poco's and may be my favorite song by anyone. Timothy B. Schmidt's voice immediately after the guitar solo and the very slight banjo as the song fades out are masterful. I inherited my best friends house in the Colorado mountains. In that house I have a handwritten copy if the lyrics of Rose of Cimarron which were printed by Rusty Young who wrote the song.

[@MrThesem]

Rose of Cimarron is my favorite Poco song, as well as just one of my favorite songs PERIOD. It's on a regular rotation on a couple of my playlists. The band Poco was a favorite of mine back in the 70's, so much so that I named my dog Poco back then. She was a good dog.

I was six….I remember during the summer, my dad would be at work….my sister would be in her room…i was sitting in the kitchen having a snack, and my brother had this record on….my brothers room was next to the kitchen…and my sisters was on the opposite side…we had all the windows open…it was so nice and cool in the house…and my brother was playing this song….my mom was sitting in front of me singing, we were sharing sliced apples…my mom has dementia, but the other day…when i was at her house…this song came on Spotify….we were all there relaxing, and she smiled at me…. 🥰

That's Rusty Young that wrote and sang lead on Crazy Love. I believe TBS sang on the epic Rose of Cimmaron.

[@jimfreeman2640]

I believe you're right, it's been a long time and their voices are so similar... There were 2 leads in Rose of Cimarron, I believe Richie Furay was the other...

[@kevincaulder96]

As mentioned Randy Meissner and Timothy B. Schmidt would join the Eagles after their time in Poco. You can hear Schmidt lead the Eagles on two of their best songs. I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY and LOVE WILL KEEP US ALIVE will directly appeal to Amber's soft rock side. Both songs are heartfelt and beautifully sung by Schmidt. Enjoy

[@wrm3016]

Well, I just had to comment on this one. Poco is by far the most underrated band in Rock history, IMHO. Absolutely my fav! Perhaps not for everyone, but the different styles and types of music they recorded is phenomenal! From country, to rock, to blue grass, to ballads, to acoustic, to a combo of all the above! This is due to all the band members writing their own songs and incorporating them into the Poco sound! Seriously, this channel could spend literally weeks covering their songs over the 20+ Lp's they produced! Absolute BS they are not in the R&R hall of fame! Rip Rusty and Randy.

[@timreed8876]

Poco was a pioneer of “country rock”, beautiful harmonies, great songwriting. I saw them many times in the early 70s. Richey Furay, Jim Messina, George Grantham, Meisner, Schmit, Paul Cotton, Rusty Young, etc. - such great musicians!

I hope you have a blessed week. 😀 I know you like songs that have great harmonies like this one. If I could make a suggestion, how about a band you've reacted to many times before? The Beatles. Jay's t-shirt reminded me of them. The harmonies on their song "Because" are INSANE. I'd say it's the best harmonizing of any Beatles song. "This Boy" is another great Beatles track with some smooth harmonies. "Nowhere Man" has some nice harmonies as well.

[@steveyaworsky6170]

The first time I saw Poco was right after this album came out, and they were outstanding. They were one of the pioneer bands of country rock, and this album was definitely a change for them at the time. The lead singer of this one was Rusty Young, who kept Poco alive until several years ago when he unexpectedly passed away. As a side note, he was an absolute wizard on the pedal steel. They have a lot of really great songs, but two to look into would be "Legend" (title song of this album), and "Bad Weather" (earlier country rock). Needless to say, I'm a fan from way back. 😁

❤Thank you for choosing Poco, and it is gratifying to see so many comments affirming this choice. This band was superb in all its iterations, made terrific records across six decades, was stunning live, and attracted first rate musicians capable of producing an astounding range of music. When in rotation again, as others have suggested, queue up the anthemic “A Good Feelin’ to Know;” for your listening pleasure and for atmosphere try “Magnolia,” “Indian Summer”, “Ride the Country,” “Faith in the Families,” or “Spellbound;” for rockers try “C’mon,” “And Settlin’ Down,” “A Right Along,” “Skatin’”, “Western Waterloo;” “Under the Gun;” ballads like “Bad Weather,” “Rose of Cimarron,” or “Hard Country;” bluegrass/Americana gems like “Rocky Mountain Breakdown,” “Blue Water/Fool’s Gold,” “Company’s Coming,” “Ashes/Feudin’;” country songs “Honky Tonk Downstairs,” “(PNS) When You Come Around,” “All Alone Together,” pop standouts “You Better Think Twice,” “Just for Me n’ You,” or the soulful “Heart of the Night.” There are really so many paths to explore here, all are rewarding and everyone in the comments has made excellent suggestions. It’s standard to label them “country rock” but labels are unhelpful, particularly in the case of a band as long-lived, talented and diverse as Poco.
