Poco consists of George Grantham, Jack Sundrud, Paul Cotton, Rusty Young.
Poco is an American country rock band formed by Richie Furay (vocals and rhythm guitar) and Jim Messina ( lead guitar and vocals) following the demise of Buffalo Springfield in 1968. Other original members were Rusty Young ( pedal steel and dobro), George Grantham ( drums and vocals) and Randy Meisner ( bass and vocals).
The first album Pickin' Up the Pieces was significantly delayed, and due to internal squabbling Meisner left the group before it was released, shortly thereafter becoming a founding member of The Eagles. Timothy B. Schmit subsequently replaced Meisner in the band. Poco ( 1971) and Deliverin' ( 1972) followed. Messina then left the band, being replaced by Paul Cotton. Messina experienced considerable subsequent success with Kenny Loggins as Loggins & Messina. After two more Poco albums: A Good Feelin' to Know and Crazy Eyes, Furay also left the band, forming the Souther Hillman Furay Band.
For Poco, the albums Seven, Cantamos, Head over Heels, Rose of Cimarron and Indian Summer followed. In 1977, both Schmit and Grantham left; being replaced by Steve Chapman and Charlie Harrison. Schmit joined the Eagles replacing Meisner on bass. The new quartet recorded Legend which featured 'Crazy Love' and 'Heart of the Night'. Kim Bullard then joined the band, and four more albums: Under the Gun, Blue and Gray, Cowboys and Englishmen and Ghost Town were released.
Furay, Schmit and Grantham have, since their departures, each appeared at various times with the band, which has, as a unit, broken up and re-formed a number of times. Inamorata was released in 1984 and Legacy in 1989 (produced by Richard Marx).
