Deliverin'
Poco

Epic 30209
Released: January 1971
Chart Peak: #26
Weeks Charted: 21

George GranthamPaul CottonTimothy B. SchmitRusty YoungPoco got good very suddenly it seems. Some time between their first and second time they learned how to harmonize and began providing a very legitimate counterpart to CSN&Y, having less charisma than the LA charmers, but a more together flowing musical sound. This is a live album and it captures the group at their most bouncing moments.

Their sound, as Charles Loquidara says in his wonderful liner notes, "creates images of green hills, amber fields, rolling white clouds and a balanced planet." But Poco's optimism happily unlike CSN&Y's is tastefully understated and subservient to their musical talents. A good time, many layered, musical treat.

- Danny Goldberg, Circus, 4/71.

Bonus Reviews!

Poco's 3rd album is its first "live" recording, taken from appearances at Boston's Music Hall and New York's Felt forum. "Pickin' Up The Pieces," an exciting finale/medley of "Just In Case It Happens," "Yes Indeed," "Grand Junction" and "Consequently So Long," and the most recent chart single, "You'd Better Think Twice," are well-received favorites, while "A Man Like Me," and "Hear That Music" are the best new material.

- Billboard, 1971.

The first of two live albums, and consisting of mostly new material -- a major country-rock success, capturing not only the lyricism and upbeat approach of the band, but also the infectiously positive attitude of its fans. * * *

- Bruce Eder, The All-Music Guide to Rock, 1995.

Deliverin' is the live flipside of Poco's 1970 eponomously-named debut, and shows how powerful a live group it was, even at its start. * * * *

- Gil Asakawa, Musichound Rock: The Essential Album Guide, 1996.
