1977 Poco – Indian Summer
Indian Summer is the tenth studio album by the American country rock band Poco, released on May 1, 1977. The appearance of Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen playing synthesizer on two of the tracks marked another move away from the country rock sound the band had primarily been known for. This was the band’s last studio album before both Timothy B. Schmit and George Grantham left the group.
