I have been a fan of joes for many years and have managed to follow his career from rick nelson & johnny rivers thru the wrecking crew.

I am trying to find and listen to his work as a part of Poco. Anyone know what time period and albums that would include. Thanks and take care. bob

If he ever did any work for Poco it does not seem to be credited.

Thank you smogg. I stand corrected. Yesterday I came across credits linking him to Poco & as i interpreted it he was a member of that band. I was shocked never knowing him to be a band member after leaving Rick Nelson & Johnny Rivers. Today is a different story. I cannot retrace that reference so have to assume it was confusion on my part. Take care. Bob

No prob dude,
maybe he laid down some studio tracks for them and it's just not credited or they (the tracks) never made it to a released work. After all, things were a bit helter-skelter in the late '60's & early '70's.

have fun on your quest,

Poco had several bassists including Jim Messina, Randy Meisner, Timothy B Schmidt, and some others. To the best of my knowledge, Joe Osborn was never one of them...having left Los Angeles in what would have been Poco's most productive years.
