Poco Velho
Poco was an American country rock band originally formed in 1968 after the demise of Buffalo Springfield. Guitarists Richie Furay and Jim Messina, former members of Buffalo Springfield, were joined by multi-instrumentalist Rusty Young, bassist Randy Meisner, and drummer George Grantham. Meisner quit the band whilst they were recording their first album, '' Pickin' Up the Pieces'', though his bass and backing vocal parts were kept in the final mix. He was replaced by Timothy B. Schmit in 1969, and Messina left in 1970 to be replaced by Paul Cotton. The line-up would change numerous times over the next several decades, with Rusty Young being the only constant member. A reunion of the founding members occurred in the late 1980s-early 1990s, and the band has continued in some form through 2021, though they retired from active touring in 2013, with Young citing health concerns as the primary cause of his retirement. Young died from a heart attack in April 2021. To date, the b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

All Fired Up (Poco Album)
''All Fired Up'' is the nineteenth and final studio album by American band Poco, released in 2013. Reception In his Allmusic review, music critic Steve Leggett wrote, "While this set, the group's first new album since 2003's Running Horse, has some bright, Poco-like moments with songs like "All Fired Up," "When She's Mine," and "Love Has No Reason," it's really a case of diminishing returns at this point... while it will please Poconuts, feels a bit generic and tired and in need of another voice or two."

Billboard Hot 100
The ''Billboard'' Hot 100 is the music industry standard record chart in the United States for songs, published weekly by '' Billboard'' magazine.

Legend (Poco Album)
''Legend'' is the eleventh studio album by the American country rock band Poco, released in 1978. Background After ABC Records canceled the 1977 release of Poco's planned 13th album: the live set '' The Last Roundup'', the three remaining members of the band: Rusty Young, Paul Cotton and George Grantham, agreed to the suspension of Poco as a recording or performing outfit. By 1978 Young - a founding member of Poco from 1968 - and Cotton - with Poco since 1970 - had decided to launch as essentially a duo act, ABC Records greenlighting the recording of the intended debut album of the Cotton-Young Band. Although Poco had self-produced the group's six studio album releases plus one live album release between 1974 and 1977, Cotton and Young elected to have the Cotton-Young Band sessions - recorded in the summer of 1978 at Crystal Sound Studio in Hollywood - overseen by Richard Sanford Orshoff, feeling an "outside" producer dealing with the recording process and with ABC Records would a ...

Pickin' Up The Pieces (Poco Album)
''Pickin' Up the Pieces'' is the debut album by country rock band Poco, released in 1969. It was one of the earliest examples of the emerging genre of country rock. Several of the songs date back to Richie Furay's days in Buffalo Springfield. An early version of "What a Day" was included on the ''Buffalo Springfield'' box set in 2001. Bassist Randy Meisner appears on the album but quit the band shortly before the record was released. Meisner's exit was the result of his anger from being excluded (at Furay's insistence) from participation in the final mix playback sessions for the album, as only Messina and Furay were to complete production. His image was removed from the painting on the cover and replaced with the dog seen at the far left. His bass parts and backing vocals were left in the mix, but his lead vocals were removed, and new versions were sung by George Grantham. He is not credited as a group member on the completed album, but is listed in the credits as providing "sup ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
