STUCK IN THE VINYL AGAIN - POCO - THE VERY BEST OF POCO

[maggot]

Good morning Wednesday warriors and welcome back to Stuck In The Vinyl Again. Today we remember California born  guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, Rusty Young, best known for his work in country rock band Poco, on what would have been his 76th Birthday. He died of a heart attack on April 14, 2021, at age 75. To honor his legacy, we spotlight Poco's very first greatest hits album, The Very Best Of Poco. The double LP was released May 1975 on the Epic label and produced by Steve Cropper, Jim Messina, and Jack Richardson. It peaked at #90 on the Billboard 200. I'm no expert, but the suit pictured on both the front and back of the album looks like a Nudie.
