1976 Poco – Rose Of Cimarron
Rose Of Cimarron is the ninth studio album by the American country rock band Poco, released in 1976.
Former Loggins & Messina sax/fiddle player Al Garth joined the band to record this album, but left shortly after due to internal conflicts. The title track became one of the band’s signature songs, and was later recorded by Emmylou Harris on her album, Cimarron. The band’s old label, Epic Records, released Poco Live just one month before Rose Of Cimarron, causing confusion among listeners and helping sales of the former at the expense of the latter.
