[Review] Poco: Pickin’ Up The Pieces (1969)
Poco’s first is a sweet and surprisingly solid collection of country-rock originals featuring the songs and vocals of Richie Furay.

The heavier electric followup to their first album is more rock & soul than country, with fuzzed-out pedal steel and a bigger bottom…
A live album featuring material from the first two Poco records, two news songs, plus a pair of Buffalo tracks.
If you like simply produced country-rock music, you may be into this, but I haven’t cottoned to it yet.
Maybe it was time to take the words “poor man’s” out of the comparisons to Buffalo Springfield and The Byrds.
It’s the last Poco fans would see of founder Richie Furay, who left for the lights of the Southern Hills.
Their seventh album, and first without Richie Furay, rocks a little harder but still rolls easy.
Getting progressively better with each album, it was time to talk about Poco in the same breath as CS&N and Eagles.
