Paul Cotton was always one of my favorite Poco members, love his songwriting and did provide some kick for the band on guitar after replacing Jim Messina.

cotton has 2 solo albums 'changing horses' and 'firebird' and both are good, not great, but good....if you can find them. 'changing horses' was in every $1 bin for a long time, but i haven't seen it lately.
he was also in a band called illinois speed press, very poco-ish with a little more rock and a little less country. there is a two-fer out there, also if you can find it, albeit it is quite expensive.

I've had the same thought myself lately, Renny. Since writing my post, I've been listening to a bunch of Richie music, including a newly bought gray-market Live set from 1976. Richie should have much more name recognition and Poco should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Totally agreed, and his was one of the longest interviews in my book.
We spoke for nearly 2 hours and I think I filled 10-11 pages with his amazing stories and the tales of so many great albums and songs and why Poco never became the huge band they should've been.

The original Poco was a great band. I enjoy everything on CBS & the reunion ("Legacy"). I don't like any of the ABC material, too commercial for me.
The Epic stuff was amazing, but the ABC/MCA material I am a huge fan of too, as well as some of the Atlantic albums.
