Info for Indian Summer (Remastered)



"Indian Summer" was Poco’s 12th album and was originally released in 1977. It was the band's last studio album before both Timothy B. Schmit and George Grantham left the group. An often over-looked album, to my ears this album was and remains a top quality Poco set with high-energy tracks like Twenty Years and Living In The Band sitting comfortably alongside the softer Me And You sung by Schmit and the acoustic-based title song featuring Paul Cotton on lead vocals. The album’s highlight, though, is the almost ten-minute four-part The Dance, conceived by Rusty Young and featuring alternative lead vocals by Schmit, Grantham and Cotton. It’s a magical swirl of music that is the very epitome of what Poco was all about in the 1970s. Though some have criticised it for being ‘clumsy and over-long,’ I loved it in 1977 and still do today …

"Although Indian Summer wasn't the commercial breakthrough Poco had hoped for (it would come a year later with Legend), there's nothing inherently bad here. The band was more compact than ever, evenly sharing songwriting duties, and Rusty Young's confident pedal steel seemed to distinguish Poco from most other country-rock bands. However, this record is also a few notches down from their best, early material. The strongest song is the title track, which has some nice steel guitar and harmony vocals, but this high point is balanced by the closing number, "The Dance," a clumsy suite that's burdened by an over-the-top string and horn arrangement. The only other item of note is a courtesy appearance by Steely Dan's Donald Fagen, who plays Arp synthesizer on a couple songs. File this under the "treading water" category." (Peter Kurtz, AMG)
