Feeling kinda lonely on a long costal ride back from a weekend at the beach. Knowing I had to leave home soon to be someone I didn't really want to, another rung up on the corporate ladder to the not me I got pushed into mixing with the rolling in gentle waves and Poco in the air. 25 years later I remember, I should have turned back down that dusty road to that old beach house when I had the chance and locked the door. Now money cant bring me any happiness my soul is in ruins. I love this song.
@DreamWeaver2020 Looking at your playlist - you need to listen to some more upbeat stuff - get encouraged to change... you can change... your life can change. Made a mistake? So what - quit should'n on yourself and get on with it! You are in a good place, you don't have to worry about car bombs today! Get with it! wgrthree@gmail.com
Before the Eagles we had Gram Parsons and POCO..all 3 are covered with greatness and only one is praised by our media culture...IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS and POCO is the best......I love this group of musicians who were in POCO at this time...Paul Cotton and Tim Schmit's vocals are just spot on....Thanks POCO
Love, Love, Love the way Poco does this song . JJ does such a different arrangement--so intimate and understated. Always love to hear a songwriter sing their own song, which is truly the original version.
After seeing a friend's cover of this song I knew I'd visit this video at some point today, lol. This must be my 200+ listen. Magnolia never wears my ears and melts all my tensions and troubles into soft mellow nothings.
@bskeywest You are so right. Poco is a household name. Everybody knows this band. I mean who the hell is Don Henley? Joe Walsh? Glen Frey? Timothy Schmitt? Jackson Browne (Eagles collaborator)? NOBODY has ever heard those names. Unlike Poco, who everybody knows, the Eagles never made any money being such a crappy band. Poco even did a reunion tour that was the top money making act, all the way around, for an entire year. Yeah, the Eagles just faded away as nobodies.
@VoodooPolitico You are so right, whoever is the most famous and sells the most records is the best. Britney Spears is better than Cat Power, John Denver better than Townes Van Zandt, Def Leppard better than the Clash. Brilliant.
oh man I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this song. I love it x 100. JJ by Poco, man what soul warming combo. I know I'll be back, thanks for posting :)
This is one of the best recordings of JJ.Cale's song Magnolia. Paul Cotton & Timothy B. Schmit rendition of this song is incredible. POCO deserves the recognition it didn't achieve. Great group, great music, timeless!!!!!!!
So many wonderful moments on Poco's 2004 Reunion Concert DVD, but Paul Cotton's performance of this J. J. Cale song was the absolute highlight. Not afraid to admit that I cry tears of joy every time I watch it. Better than the album version, if that's possible.

Poco is the band The Eagles always wanted to be. Too bad they just never measured up to Poco.

The Eagles were the beneficiaries of Poco's blending rock with country music.
These boys never got their just due. Too bad. A truly remarkable body of work. Thanks Poco
