Where Was FourWallsdo?: Grand Junction

Today’s the day the car gets PT. My oil change is scheduled later this afternoon, so while I munch on lunch I’ll treat you to another song that’s named after a place I was along the way on this vacation. An instrumental! Which comes with a “Linda? NO!” warning. Here we go! Grand Junction - Poco There are TWO Poco songs I could have used (the other being “Rocky Mountain Breakdown”), but I don’t repeat artists…to my dismay. Heck, I could have used this one, “Rocky Mountain Breakdown,” and “Western Waterloo”! It’s that smokin’ little country-rock band that built the highway AND paved it for acts like the Eagles and Linda Ronstadt…and never got their due. Even if they put them in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame today, with three members gone (original bassist Randy Meisner [who played on this album but was not listed as a band member], longtime member Paul Cotton, and founding member Rusty Young) it’s too late. Okay, enough of that. There was just a little magic in the country music they played, and this song had me dancing in my car as I drove through Grand Junction. Grand Junction Written by Rusty Young Recorded by Poco From Pickin’ Up the Pieces, 1968 Enjoy!!
