Great music takes the listener somewhere special – on Poco’s latest, Bareback at Big Sky, that would be under the stars, bathed by moonlight in the Montana heartland.

Even within a catalog that dates back 35 years, Bareback at Big Sky casts a unique spell. It is Poco’s first unplugged live album, with well-known tunes, never before recorded gems, and a few new ones gathered like a bouquet of blooms, warmed by golden vocal harmonies and rustled by cool whispers of rhythm.

After rising in 1968 from the ashes of the Buffalo Springfield, Poco began infusing the L.A. folk/rock sound with their deep-rooted lyricism and the instrumentation of country music, a revelation and inspiration for the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, and other future headliners. Poco’s albums chronicled their explorations, with two members always onboard to pilot each lineup: Young, who was there from the beginning, and singer/songwriter/guitarist Cotton, who arrived in the early seventies after Jim Messina left to produce Kenny Loggins.
