Two years after the disaster of the Ghost Town tour that nearly broke up the band, Poco regrouped as a duo with Paul Cotton and Rusty Young, though you wouldn't be able to tell that from the long list of guest musicians who are credited in the album's liner notes. Armed with an armada of fresh ideas and bright new synthesizers, Poco all but abandons their country-rock roots in favor of reverb-heavy electronic drums and bright synths. Guest appearances by Poco alumni Timothy B. Schmit, Richie Furay, and George Grantham are there to help preserve what was left of the band’s legend. The old saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is all well and good but when fans are jumping ship and the financial end is sinking fast, ya gotta try something.

Personnel: Paul Cotton, Rusty Young (vocals, guitars); Kim Bullard, Richard Gibbs, Randy Kerber (keyboards); Neil Stubenhaus (bass); Stephen Chapman, Steve Forman, Vince Colaiuta (drums, percussion); George Doering (guitars); Richie Furay, Tim Schmit, George Grantham (vocals).

Note: I haven't cleaned this 38-year-old vinyl record because everybody seems to prefer their own methods. I'll leave the cleaning up to the buyer. Also, I'm not a professional vinyl seller or buyer. Bought at The Record Exchange, Roanoke VA.
