lp.constantcon... INTERVIEW #3: Jim Messina - How they Built The Band Poco
Jim Messina formed Poco with fellow Buffalo Springfield bandmate Richie Furay and Rusty Young, who guested on the last Springfield album. The band was a clear answer to the growing influence of Country/Rock. I asked Jim Messina about how it started.
I had a chance to interview ex-Eagles bassist and vocalist Randy Meisner a few years ago. He was an original member of that band as well as Poco. He was only on their first album and he explains why here..then we'll hear from Jimmy Messina.
Jim Messina is doing shows this year right up to November. Go to Jim Messina.com for details. We'll have more of our conversation with Jim in one week. - by John Beaudin

Poco was a great group that went their separate ways way tooo soon!!! RIP Randy. Rusty and Paul!!!!!

@barrybechtel8553 Год назад

Jim Messina is a class act and a great player!! This band never got their due credit!! Should definitely be in the HOF!!!!!

@JTRocks4Ever Год назад

I'm glad he said that what Richie Furay did was innappropriate. It doesn't change things but it validates what Randy said.

@stevehelton997 4 года назад

I was around then and was really bummed about Springfield but Poco was the next thing . They were great !

@neilreddick3062 Год назад

Replaced by a picture of a dog. Not sure, but uncool if you ask me... Great album though!!

@misterjim4458 Год назад

The🍊🍊Album is on my Top Ten Desert Island List!!

@artprince9163 6 лет назад

I saw POCO early on and the first time I think Jim was still in the group and then a couple years later (1973?) saw them with Paul Cotton with JJ Cale as their opener! Fabulous group. I thought they were better musicians than Eagles who I saw in their country days before Felder joined.

@johnzane4610 5 лет назад

There is a story how Henley and Felder were allowed to observe POCO practices and from than they tweaked the Country Rock music of POCO into the Rock/Country rock of the Eagles !!!

@cowboyluke1706 5 лет назад

Frey and Henley saw them at the Troubador like many others. Furay started The BS about The Eagles tweaking their stuff when the Eagles took off with Take It Easy and was incredibly jealous. Poco didn't take off and Furay always looked for reasons other than himself. When he saw Young, Stills, Messina from the Buffalo Springfield take off and he was going nowhere it drove him nuts. He always had to call the shots and it burned him.

@donjohnson9688 4 года назад

Far better musicians than the Eagles

@jaykay6387 3 года назад

It comes down to "do you have the songs" or not? You can have great technical musicians at every spot but if you can't write the songs you are nowhere. And "chemistry" is a thing, and it can't be bottled.

@krisscanlon4051 3 года назад

Poco became better known for Crazy Love however Furay/Messina Poco was just important. Later Poco was more MOR/soft rock music but early Poco was very eclectic.

@davidkerner801 2 года назад

Favorite band of all time

@peterm4486 6 лет назад

Thank you John...Poco deserves at least this mention and more! I saw the guys many times although like many others I came aboard during the Legend days yet I did see the Legacy reunion and that album could be a desert island album. I do not agree with Jimmy as I for one loved the Paul Cotton lineups...Running Horse is another powerful album!

Rusty Young left us today

Sad news. Thank for posting.

I saw POCO playing at a local gym in Geneseo NY in 1977 and you would think they would just mail in that night and they played a great set for the fans. They were not really all that popular and the crowd was rather small but they played to it and were very personable and had fun.

@christianman73 3 года назад

One of their best albums, "Indian Summer," was released in that year. Unfortunately, it wasn't a hit, and I will never understand why, because it's such a beautiful work of musical art. However, they did have a big hit in '78 with "Crazy Love" and the "Legend" album.

@AppleMan531 6 лет назад

I just saw Poco and Atlanta Rhythm Section last week at Tanner Park in Long Island. Great show!

@peterm4486 6 лет назад

Eliot Wien love both those bands!

@bobbybirmingham8613 2 года назад

The TRUE phenomenon known as Poco was revealed in the release of the DeLIVErin album. Kudos to the band for making some fine music long thereafter....but I always come back to that one, amazing moment in time. Listen to the album, read the liner notes. THAT was the true Poco. Rest in peace, Rusty and Paul...

@Jeffrey-ef5vc 6 месяцев назад

Loggiins and messing was a great album as well!

@c.s.mcleod7383 2 года назад

I hope I get a reply,I'm curious what year the Randy Meisner interview occurred? As of 2022 he has been a recluse for a few years and may be battling dementia. He sounded quite lucid in interview.

@RockHistoryMusic 2 года назад

The interview with Randy was done, on the phone, on Aug. 4, 2000.

@c.d.macaulay66 4 года назад

Spoken like the consummate pro he is. I’m sure he really knows his way around the studio.

@alanunseld4942 4 года назад

i never heard of poco til 89 legacy album thought it was great call it love my favoriite

@seanmcaleavy2369 4 года назад

The last Buffalo Springfield concert was Nov 5th, 1968 at the Long Beach Arena.

@pmsfar-outgrooviness8025 4 года назад

May 5th

@geraldlavelle3337 3 года назад

I lived in Long Beach and I had to work that night -- I was bummed out. I never got to see Buffalo Springfield live. I did get to see all the subsequent spinoffs from that band through the years. And years later Richie Furay was a neighbor in the hills west of Boulder CO.

@billybob8943 4 года назад

♫ Don't you know that I love my music...

@carlgold3366 2 года назад

He deserves credit for getting Poco together, but he always has a complaint. He chose to leave, then he's complaining it wasn't the same with Cotton. Duh. In a lot of ways it was better. Bad Weather's one of the best country rock ballads ever. Tim's vocals blended perfectly with Richie's. And he never gives Richie his due for writing most of the songs on the first three albums, singing and his personality. And apparently Richie had no role at all in putting the band together. Really?

@ronnkerber1059 2 года назад

Bad Weather was first done with "Illinois Speed Press", the band Paul Cotton was in before Poco.

@pretorious700 2 года назад

I saw Poco in 1973 in Modesto. Great show.

@jerrybrownell3633 4 года назад

The best Poco line up was - Paul Cotton- lead guitar and vocals/ Timothy B. Schmidt _ Bass guitar and vocals. George Grantham- Drums and vocals and Nathan Russell "Rusty" Young- Steel Guitar, Rthym guitar and vocals.

Really interesting. Seems like such a good guy.

@psmarinemom 6 лет назад

He is as nice in person as he seems here.

If you're interested in the country rock movement that happened in L.A. starting in the mid to late 60s, check out the book DESPERADOS by John Einarson. It's a veritable encyclopedia on the roots of country rock.

@bonconfidant7514 5 лет назад

I've watched 3 or 4 of these Messina interviews and never heard a word about the 1989 Poco reunion. Did I miss one?

@jackfitzpatrick8173 Год назад

Buffalo Springfield was a terribly underappreciated group. As for Poco..."Heart of the Night" was one of the greatest songs of the entire pop/rock era.

@misterjim4458 Год назад

Re: Poco/Eagles and that Cally Forn Ya sound... Listen to Little Feats “Easy to Slip” [ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jHKFkLhr4_I.html ] on the Sailin’ Shoes album. Years ahead of its time!
