Poco - Crazy Loving: The Best of Poco 1975-1982 '1989

Tracks list

 Known for their country-rock ease and light harmonies, Poco netted two of
the finest soft rock tunes of the late 70s in Crazy Love and Heart of the Night,
which highlight Crazy Loving, one of the more accessible compilations from this
California band. After these tracks, the rest of this package takes minor hits
from rather lackluster albums such as Blue and Gray, Under the Gun, and Cowboys
and Englishmen, gradually losing interest along the way. Although the groups
countrified feel wraps itself tightly around songs like Too Many Nights Too
Long, Indian Summer, and the instrumental Ashes/Feudin, Pocos occasional knack
for a catchy hook or a sincere lyric fails to rise to the top on most of these
cuts. Midnight Rain and Keep on Tryin are almost there, but the departure of
Richie Furay in 1973 dealt somewhat of a blow to the bands material, and their
laid-back sound pales in comparison to what the Eagles were putting out at the
same time. This set makes for a better buy than any of the albums that these
tracks originate from, but heartier collections contain material from earlier
recordings, like Pickin up the Pieces or A Good Feeling to Know, right up to
1989s Legacy, the album that gave them their last two Top 40 hits in Call It
Love and Nothin to Hide.
