"Finally! The true, definitive collection of the REAL Poco. The band that invented country-rock. The early years. Richie Furay songs and feelings really shine through. Fantastic! A real must for anyone looking to find the roots of country-rock."

A good collection of early Poco

"This collection is a pretty well thought through study of early Poco with all the hits up to Cantamos. Includes Good Feelin to Know, Bad Weather and a medley off Deliverin. Two Buffalo Springfield tunes fine their way here (Kind Woman & Go and Say Goodbye)the second one should not be here being a weak effort compared with the Stills original. But the sing along feel good country rock of Just for Me and You (Underrated) My Kind of Love and Pickin up the pieces all appear. Faith in the Families off Seven is mid period Poco as is What Ever Happened to Your smile and are a wee bit out of place here. Room perhaps should have been found for Here We Go Again which was Tim Schmit`s greatest moment, and Settlin` Down, Blue Water. The good news is that all these can be found on The Forgotten Trail which is the superior collection. Get it instead."

A Great Start

"If you're looking for a way to get into the music of Poco, this album is a good place to start. It contains lots of good songs, even though there are still some missing. Poco does a great job of blending country, rock, and a little bit of the blues (especially "Anyway, Bye, Bye"). Formed in the break-up of Buffalo Springfield, and feeding the formation of The Eagles, Poco does the job of migrating from 1960's Country Rock to 1970's Country Rock. If you're a fan of either The Eagles or Buffalo Springfield, Poco is a definite must."
