Once again, Thank You Stingray 1975 for your introduction to this band!! Much appreciated! I Included the best documentary I could find describing Poco's revolving door history of band members with the Eagles and others... Poco is an American country rock band originally formed by Richie Furay, Jim Messina and Rusty Young. They were formed following the demise of Buffalo Springfield in 1968. Poco was part of the first wave of the West Coast country rock genre. The title of their first album, Pickin' Up the Pieces, is a reference to the break-up of Buffalo Springfield. Throughout the years Poco has performed in various groupings, and is still active.
The band had a revolving door relationship. A factor that may have held the band back in some accounts was it's revolving-door membership. Meisner left and joined the Eagles. He was replaced and joined forces with Kenny Loggins. Furay left to form a not-quite-supergroup with J.D. Souther and Chris Hillman. Later, Paul Cotton and many others would cycle through the group. Originally, it wasn’t that everyone left for greener pastures,.. It was that Furay fired them — first Meisner and then Messina.
