Poco-Standing Room Only

Standing Room Only
This collection seems to be an offshoot of some of the acoustic concerts Poco has been doing as of late. The sound quality here is amazing and comes truly highlights the raw sound of the band. The song selection is flawless. The brilliance of both Paul Cotton and Rusty Young is evidenced early on and continues throughout. The mixing and mastering makes for an almost seemless presentation. These could be some of the best versions of these songs ever recorded. My only complaint is that there could be more music here. The disc is only about 40 minutes long. POCO (SRO) volume II would be a great idea!   This has probably been around for awhile but it was a real pleasure to find it recently. As with most Poco recordings I rarely find fault with anything they do so I am somewhat biased. Their longevity alone says what a great group they still are, even without Richie Furay most of the time. As always Paul Cotton is always in fine form. It's also always nice to hear them live as the songs always change according to their mood and lineup. I've always thought that live versions of any group is better if you really want to know if a group is still good or should hang up their hats and retire gracefully. Dear Poco... Never give it up! This recording is just fine and a wonderful addition toany music collection.   I dont own this one, as I have ever Poco CD.
