Crazy Eyes
New - LP - KE 32354
Sealed` 1973 Textured Cover Original With Custom Lyric Sleeve. “The Third Biggest-Selling Album In The Group's History, Crazy Eyes Is Also The Group's Liveliest And Most Bracing Work And Contains Some Of Their Most Soulful Music. In Short, It's The Fruition Of Everything They'd Been Working Toward For Four Years. Curiously, It's Also One Of A Handful Of Examples Of Their Use Of Outside Help, Including Chris Hillman On Mandolin. The Resulting Sound Is Richer Than Anything Found On Any Other Poco Album, And The Only Tragedy Is That The Band Reportedly Cut Enough Tracks For Two Whole Albums — One Longs To Hear The Material That Remained In The Can. As It Is, There's Not A Weak Song, Or Even A Wasted Note Anywhere On This Album, And Most Bands Would Kill For A Closing Track As Perfect As "Let's Dance Tonight.” Bruce Eder, AMG. more

From The Inside
New - LP - E 30753
Sealed And Pristine 1973 Gatefold Reissue With "E" Prefix. "From The Inside Is Poco's Most Unusual Record, And One The Band -- Especially Founder Richie Furay, Whose Songs Were Sort Of Pushed Into The Background -- Finally Didn't Like All That Much. But It Was A Very Good One Anyway, Produced In Memphis By Guitar Legend Steve Cropper And Featuring The Group Generating A Leaner, More Stripped-down, Somewhat Bluesier Sound. The Harmonies Are Less Radiant And The Guitars More Subdued, And The Spirits Also A Little More Low-key Than Usual. But The Sound They Get Is Still Appealing, The Singing More Reflective And A Little Bit Closer To R&b Than To The Post-byrds Country-rock For Which They Were Known -- The Songs Are Pretty, And In Listening Terms George Grantham's Drums And Timothy B. Schmit's Bass Are Nice And Upfront In The Mix, And The Guitars Have A Really Close Presence, Even If They Are Turned Down. Paul Cotton's "Bad Weather" Was The Best Reviewed Song, But Other Highlights Were "You Are The One," "Hoe Down," "Railroad Days" (Maybe Their Hardest Rocker), And "Ol' Forgiver"."

1989 US Original, Housed In Laminated Jacket With Custom Printed Inner. Stellar Condition! "The Original 1968 Lineup Of Richie Furay, Jim Messina, Randy Meisner, George Grantham, And Rusty Young, Which Never Got To Record (Meisner Quit On The Eve Of Their First Session), Finally Goes Into The Studio, And It's As Though 20 Years Dissolve Away. The Singing Is Impeccable, The Playing Awesome -- Maybe A Little Too Good -- And Unlike A Lot Of Reunion Projects Of This Kind, The Songs Are As Good As Any The Group Ever Recorded, With A Couple ("When It All Began," "Call It Love") That Would Belong On Any Truly Honest Best-Of Collection. The Only Flaw, If That's What It Is, Is The Decidedly Modern Sound And Production -- The Group's Country-Rock Sound Is Nearly Compromised By The Modern Engineering, Which Gives The Drums Too Much Presence And The Guitars Too Much Volume. The Playing Is Loud And Precise And Often Beautiful, But Also At Times Mechanical And Soulless Compared With The Group's Old Recordings; The Exceptionally Passionate Singing More Than Compensates For This Flaw, However. It Might Have Been Interesting To See The Re-Formed Group Do A Couple Of The Songs Off Of The First Album That They Never Got To Do As A Quintet, But The Point Behind That Had Long Ago Been Made By The Quartet That Did Record. A Must-Own Alongside The MCA Best-Of And The Original Eight Epic Albums (Or The Epic Double-Disc Forgotten Trail Anthology). David Cole Was The Overall Producer, But Richard Marx Signed His Name As Producer To One Of The Best Tracks Here, "Nothin' To Hide," Which He Also Co-Wrote." AMG - Bruce Eder. more

1979 Half-Speed Mastered Audiophile Reissue From Mobile Fidelity Labs. VG+ Jacket With Light Ring Wear And Corner Rubs. First Pressing Run With Non Italicized Printing At Top Of Jacket. "Poco's Biggest-selling Album Of All Time Also Presented The Biggest Personnel Change At One Time For The Then-decade-old Group, Whose Lineup Had Hardly Been A Model Of Stability Up To That Time. Co-founding Drummer/singer George Grantham And Longtime Bassist/singer Timothy B. Schmit Were Both Gone, The Latter Off To The Eagles. Listening To Parts Of This Album, One Gets The Sense That, With The Arrival Of Charlie Harrison (Bass, Harmony Vocals) And Steve Chapman (Drums) In The Group, Poco Was Deliberately Adopting A Change In Sound Similar To What The Eagles Went Through When Joe Walsh Joined, Into Much Harder Rocking Territory, At Least Part Of The Time. Longtime Fans Were Probably Disheartened To Hear Rusty Young And Paul Cotton Give Up Any Semblance Of Their Country Roots On The Opening Track, "Boomerang," A Bracing, Heavy Rock Number (For This Band) That Didn't Sound A Great Deal Like The Poco Of Previous Years. Most Of The Rest Of The Album, However, Was Closer To What One Wanted And Expected From This Band -- "Spellbound" A Beautifully Lyrical Ballad That Benefited From Young's Instrumental Range And His And Cotton's Harmonizing, And Cotton's "Barbados" Offering Similarly Alluring Musical Textures With More Of A Beat. Cotton's "Heart Of The Night," However, Dominated Everything Around It, As One Of The Most Finely Crafted Songs In The Group's History, Highlighted By A Beautiful Sax Solo From Phil Kenzie. And Then There's "Crazy Love" (Composed By Rusty Young), With Its Soft, Ethereal Textures, Which Was A Little Lightweight For This Band But Unassuming Enough To Dominate The Adult Contemporary Charts At The Time. Young's "The Last Goodbye" And "Legend" Closed Out The Album On A More Thickly Textured, Higher-wattage Note, Representing The Group's Newer Sound, The Latter With A Memorably Driving Beat That, With "Boomerang," Bookended The Album."

These Songs Represent The Group's Blend Of Country And Rock At Its Finest And Brightest, With The Happy Harmonies Of "Hurry Up" And "Keep On Believin'" Totally Irresistible. Jim Messina's "You Better Think Twice" Is A Perfectly Constructed And Arranged Song, One That Should Have Been A Huge Hit But Mysteriously Never Found Its Place In The Top 40 Pantheon. Listening To This Recording, Though, It's Easy To See Why Unimaginative Radio Programmers And Much Of The Record-Buying Public Couldn't Find A Niche For Poco. The Knock Was "Too Country For Rock, Too Rock For Country," But In Fact, They Were Just Ahead Of Their Time, A Tough Spot To Be In The World Of Popular Entertainment. What About The Last 15 Minutes Of This Disc? It's A Lengthy Instrumental Called "El Tonto De Nadie, Regressa." A Cynic Would Say It's Filler, But Given The Trend At The Time Toward Side-Long Cuts, It's Probably Simply Poco's Attempt At Hipness. In Retrospect, It Can Be Seen As The Forerunner To Messina's Lengthy Jams With Loggins & Messina A Few Years Later; The Sound Is Remarkably Similar. While Overshadowed By Pickin' Up The Pieces, Which Preceded It, And Deliverin', Which Followed, Poco Is Well Worth Owning By Anyone Interested In The Early Days Of This Particular Band, And Of Country-Rock In General. The Trademark Sweet, High Harmonies Belying The Heartbreak Expressed In Richie Furay's Lyrics, Messina's Distinctive Lead Guitar, And Rusty Young's Amazing Ability To Get An Organ Sound Out Of His Pedal Steel Guitar Are All Here In Full Blossom.” AMG - Jim Newsom. more
