I might like this more than White Light...



Either way, they're 2 amazing albums!

I can't get enough of No Other right now...

I like No Other, but the over production tends to annoy me, I've always liked Gene's demo's they used as bonus songs.

Been into Poco recently, this is a great live cd.

Timothy B. Schmit of the Eagles was in Poco, right? Don't know anything about them other than that...

Yep, actually Randy Miesner the orginal Eagles bassist was in Poco before Schmit. He left to go with Rick Nelson's band and Schmit replaced him in Poco and eventually the Eagles. It's kind of confusing but they are part of the California country-rock stuff along with Gram, Gene, Nesmith and the others.

Here's a good place to start if you want to check them out.

!!!!
2 of my Alltime favourite albums.
You know; music-critics in the Netherlands voted White Light album of the year back then!!
Kind of makes me proud to be Dutch!
(And don't start about Dutch-ovens and such bullshit...) >:( :( ;) )

Earle was so affected by his relationship with Van Zandt that he named a son after him. Now he's putting the finishing touches on a tribute album to Van Zandt, recorded in both Nashville and New York.

I have a few of his albums, Wagonmaster & The Rubber Room are the ones to go for IMO:

Haha don't have this one but check the cover out!

[Jbones72]

Just got this cd. It's a great overview of Clarence White's carrer, probably the most underrated guitarist (country, bluegrass, and rock), of all time.
