Poco (1972) I Can See Everything

'If it seems to you that I am fading' begins this incredibly soulful entry from Poco about facing up to a partner losing interest. One of Timothy B Schmidt's patented incandescent, dreamlike paens to a distant lover, part of a long line of hits like Here We Go Again and I Can't Tell You Why.  His crystalline clear high vocals perfect for Poco's country pop, this is a startling track, far more adventurous then the Standard Poco/Eagles country rock formulas this mixes Schmidt's wonderfully smooth vocals with rootsy acoustic guitars and bouncy tablas in a typical 60's blend of genres. Poco had a knack for creating songs that blurred the lines of genres and didn't deserve the country label at times, this song has more Smokey Robinson style RnB then twangy, pedal steel licks.
