Poco- Self Titled "Oranges"
Sometimes called "ORANGES" On this, their sophomore effort, the band rocks out harder than on their debut, especially on the opening track "Hurry Up." Furay wrote or co-wrote all of the songs except for "Honky Tonk Downstairs," a song that showed that the band hadn't completely abandoned its country leanings. All of the band's trademarks are here: tight harmony singing, soulful vocals, Messina's economic lead guitar work, and Rusty Young's pedal steel as organ.
This is the only studio album that this configuration of the band released and it's one of the strongest albums of their career. Even the 15-minute-plus instrumental "El Tonto de Nadie, Regresa" is an amazing example of the band's instrumental prowess. [Unlike many of the mindless jams found on other albums of that era. I have on CD all Poco albums ever released. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
