Poco should have been bigger than the Eagles in my opinion! I actually believe I like them better. Rest in peace Rusty Young. So glad I got to see Poco a few years ago.
I have more Poco CD's then any other band except the Beatles and have seen them live multiple times. I am a huge fan. Too me the reason they didn't reach Eagles status had to do with the guitar work (I am a guitarist). I am a huge Paul Cotton fan and he wrote and sang great songs and played very solid rhythm parts. What I think maybe held back Poco's songs was not having those stellar, catchy, memorable guitar licks that someone like Don Felder added to the Eagles. Look how big the Eagles got once Felder was on board on the album "On The Border". His stellar riffs on "Already Gone", "James Dean", and the title song "On The Border" really made that album pop. After Felder left, any new material by the Eagles was rather ho-hum, and they became a live "greatest hits" band. Just an opinion!
Personnel: Nathan Russell "Rusty" Young- vocals and rhythm guitar/ Paul Cotton- vocals and lead guitar/ George Grantham-vocals and triangle/ David Sundrud- bass and Tony Harrell- keyboards.
So sad & shocked with the sudden loss of Rusty! Thank you for all the incredible music from my youth through to my 67 years! You will be missed!!
