It's embarrassing because I've never heard of it. I do frequently find myself in the mood lately when only the smooth harmonies of America, CSNY, and Bread soothe my soul, but I've never looked beyond those two bands for the true heroes of the style (and no, there is no music of the Eagles played in my house). Damn you, American FM radio, for ignoring the good stuff. And then Jason blows my skies wide open with news of this charming little jewel of an album. I did not know such good country-rock had ever been recorded. Thank you, Internets, for showing me the good stuff. I must admit, hearing this lovely music for the first time embarrasses me.

I've got the Best of Buffalo Springfield and was always interested in Poco's beginnings. Randy Meisner is a great bass player. Thanks again, Jason.

I think my Uncle gave it to me a few years back, and I'm not sure it has hit the turntable yet. Thanks for the heads up!

It makes it a truly unique tune - totally outside of the box.
