From their commercial breakthrough 1978 album Legend which was released 10 years after their first album; it's strange to think it took Poco the founding country rock band a decade to get commercial success and all they had to do was drop the country rock sound they pioneered. After all the harmonies are no longer as punchy or the central hook of these more arranged soft rock tunes where electric guitars and keyboards can take ore prominence. This track for instance starts with crashing electric guitars and arpeggios and a Richie Furay styled vocal from guitarist Paul Cotton, the saccharine feel of the chorus line works along with this album's strong romantic sentiments. But just listen to that epic saxophone solo duelling with the lead electric guitar, listen to how the sax wails in a human register.
