Jim Messina - In the Groove

In The groove





JIM MESSINA - In The Groove (2016)

James Melvin "Jim" Messina is an American musician, songwriter, singer, guitarist, recording engineer and record producer. He was a member of the folk rock group Buffalo Springfield, a founding member of the country rock pioneer Poco, and half of the soft rock duo Loggins and Messina with Kenny Loggins.

Recorded live in September 2015 at The Clark Center and The Lobero Theatre, legendary singer/songwriter Jim Messina captures moments in time with these superbly rendered and lively performances. It’s a nice cross-section that spans the artist’s career from his time with Poco and Loggins & Messina to solo work. In addition to a core ensemble, Messina is joined by former Poco steel guitarist Rusty Young, who adds spice to modern classics like “Kind Woman” and “Listen to a Country Song.” And tracks like “Mojito Moon” and “Keep Me in Mind” possess a subtle jazzy element providing something for everyone.
