Stumbled on this one last night. I've heard of Poco before, but this was the first time I'd heard this particular tune. Great stuff. I love the harmonizing, especially Timothy B. Schmit's.

Timothy B. Schmidt was my first rock “crush.” I was so in love with him in his early days.

Poco formed out of the break-up of Buffalo Springfield in 1968... other members formed CSN, Crosby, Stills & Nash. (Steven Stills, Jim Messina, Ritchie Furay, Dewey Martin, Jim Palmer and Neil Young were in Buffalo Springfield)

One of my favorite Poco tunes is Heart Of The Night.

A little known Buffalo Springfield favorite of mine is Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing, written by Neil Young and sung by Stephen Stills.

Okay, Bluebird too.

Poco was hugely underrated group and “Rose of Cimarron” is a great classic!

Another underrated classic is Firefall’s “Strange Way” - the full album version.

Loved this song when I first heard it. Timothy Schmidt’s voice really soars.

the harmonies evoke “a naked feel,off into parts unknown”. Poco has always held a spot in my heart. I have a lot of their albums. I saw them live in Jackson, 1993, and they did a version of Ghost Town that blew me away.
Rose of Cimmaron is a special song,simple and yet, and yet...
