Poco is the second album by the Country Rock band Poco. Strong album cuts include "Honky Tonk Downstairs," a Gram Parsons-like country tune, and "Anyway Bye Bye," a slower, bluesier number covered years later by ex-Poco member Randy Meisner on his solo album One More Song. The Messina-penned "You Better Think Twice" is a signature song by Poco and is the strongest cut on this record. A copy of an LP of this record hangs in the Poco exhibit in the Country Music Hall Of Fame in Nashville along with the jacket Rusty Young wears on the back cover.
