Another Chestnut in the CD player

I first heard Poco when my brother brought back a tape of theirs from Vietnam. It was "Deliverin'" and of course, anything he liked, I liked.I thought "Good Feelin To Know" was about as good as it was going to get until 1976 when "Rose of Cimmaron" came out. I thought at the time, it was the greatest country song ever. Poco was in a slump before that and then Timothy Schmidt left and they seemed to kick it up a gear. "Indian Summer" was very good but had some filler to it. In 1979, "Legend" was released and this CD now is one of my Top 30. Only one filler song "Love Comes Love Goes" but the rest is magic. It starts with "Boomerang" and then "Spellbound" follows. Very sweet tune. "Barbados" is a nice tune and "Little Darlin'" was the song that Mary and I called our own. Side two was even better..."Heart of The Night" (about New Orleans) is about as good as it gets. "Crazy Love" was the huge hit and the CD closes with "Legend". I seem to be relying on old favorites the past few weeks. I wonder what is next.
