CRAZY EYES is Poco's finest recorded moment, period. It's basically a culmination of what the band had been working up to since forming in 1968, and, along with the Allman Brothers Band's BROTHERS AND SISTERS, the Marshall Tucker Band's first three albums, and the Outlaws anthology BEST OF THE OUTLAWS: GREEN GRASS AND HIGH TIDES, one of the best country-rock albums of all time. The main problem that kept this album from selling well among country-rock fans is that the Allman Brothers Band's BROTHERS AND SISTERS and the Marshall Tucker Band's self-titled debut were getting all the attention in 1973 in country-rock circles, so this one got left out in the cold. That's unfortunate, since it's just as good as those two.
