[Old School Hound]

Two groups that I listened to a lot back in the seventies and eighties was POCO  and FIREFALL.   I thought each offered up some great work and deserved even more accolades than they received.  If  POCO had an Eagles vibe, it was for good reason. Both Randy Meisner(My favorite Eagle) and Timothy B. Schmit had stints in POCO. Both POCO and FIREFALL performed in the country-rock gendre , which I listened to a lot back in my high school days.


Some of the best harmonizing you'll ever hear :

Released in 1978, this is a love song about New Orleans. Beautiful but haunting lyrics, it eerily foreshadows what would happen in New Orleans some 27 years  later.       GREAT sax  !!!

In the heart of the night
In the cool southern rain
There's a full moon in sight
Shining down on the Pontchartrain

And the river, she rises
Just like she used to do
She's so full of surprises
She reminds me of you

In the heart of the night
In the heart of the night
In the heart of the night
Oh, down in New Orleans
