on Deliverin’, 1971
Poco had originally made their name as a live act, and they’d always been at their best and most easygoing on-stage. The result is this live album of new and old material, featuring Jim Messina’s swan song with the band and some of the tightest playing and best singing in their recorded history. Jewels include “C’mon,” “Hear That Music,” “Kind Woman,” and “You’d Better Think Twice.” About as perfect an album as they ever made and, not coincidentally, by far the biggest seller the early group ever had. (Bruce Eder, AllMusic)
on Crazy Eyes, 1973
The third biggest-selling album in the group’s history, Crazy Eyes is also the group’s liveliest and most bracing work that contains some of their most soulful music. In short, it’s the fruition of everything they’d been working toward for four years. Curiously, it’s also one of a handful of examples of their use of outside help, including Chris Hillman on mandolin. The resulting sound is richer than anything found on any other Poco album, and the only tragedy is that the band reportedly cut enough tracks for two whole albums—one longs to hear the material that remained in the can. As it is, there’s not a weak song, or even a wasted note anywhere on this album, and most bands would kill for a closing track as perfect as “Let’s Dance Tonight.” (Bruce Eder, AllMusic)
