Customer Reviews for Crazy Eyes
Psychedelic Country-Rock
Rating:
Outside of the title track(Poco's magnum opus of 9:39)this is a straight ahead great country-rock album. However, if you have the patience for some interesting music the title track will absolutely amaze you. If Pink Floyd and Poco mixed together sounds interesting, you should hear it...one of the most ambitious pieces of music ever recorded. I'm sure someone somewhere blasted it, but quite frankly next to 'Rose of Cimarron' it's my favorite Poco number.

Disappointing in Many Ways
Rating:
This follow-up to the classic "Good Feeling to Know" is a very disappointing release for many reasons. It was founder Richie Furay's final appearance on a Poco album and the material and production is just not that strong. Furay's "Let's Dance Tonight" is a nice rocker, featuring some great steel guitar by Rusty Young. Paul Cotton's cover of JJ Cale's "Magnolia" is also very good, as is his rocker "A Right Along". After that the quality drops dramatically. Most disappointing are Furay's cover of the Gram Parsons song "Brass Buttons" and his own "Crazy Eyes", a tribute to Parsons.
Poco recorded enough material for a double album and some of the rejected tunes were much stronger than those that ended up on "Crazy Eyes", showing that the band still were among the best in the business. By this time Furay's attention was clearly elsewhere and he soon left the band he founded to try to find greener pastures. As a swan song, "Crazy Eyes" is not worthy of the great legacy of the Furay era of Poco.
