Good feeling to Know
On this 1972 release of eight originals and one cover tune (an arguably superior version of the Buffalo Springfield's "Go and Say Goodye" written by Stephen Stills), Poco put together one of its best albums. Band members Richie Furay, Paul Cotton and Timothy B Schmit each contribute excellent songs. Highlights include Cotton's lovely "Ride the Country" and Schmit's achingly beautiful "I Can See Everything." But it's still Furay who steals the show with the rollicking "And Settlin' Down," the gorgeous "Sweet Lovin'" and what should have been a monster hit, "A Good Feelin' to Know." Why Poco never had the kind of commercial success of the Eagles (whose debut was released just months before A Good Feelin' to Know) is a mystery. Fans of country-rock will want to add this to their collection. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
