Poco's Best Album

"CRAZY EYES is Poco's finest recorded moment, period. It's basically a culmination of what the band had been working up to since forming in 1968, and, along with the Allman Brothers Band's BROTHERS AND SISTERS, the Marshall Tucker Band's first three albums, and the Outlaws anthology BEST OF THE OUTLAWS: GREEN GRASS AND HIGH TIDES, one of the best country-rock albums of all time. The main problem that kept this album from selling well among country-rock fans is that the Allman Brothers Band's BROTHERS AND SISTERS and the Marshall Tucker Band's self-titled debut were getting all the attention in 1973 in country-rock circles, so this one got left out in the cold. That's unfortunate, since it's just as good as those two."

"Poco started off as a kind of super group of sorts and later morphed into the lite-rock group that many people associate with Poco.
This album is great without a clunker on it.
The title song, "Crazy Eyes", is a great rock/country anthem. One of my all time favorite songs."

"This is a very good disc. Why it wasn't remastered and treated with the respect it deserves I don't know. Why Furay left after this disc I'll never understand. I love many of the post Furay discs but I can't help but feel greatness lost."
