Poco "Nothing to Hide"

I had no idea Jim Messina was part of the country-rock group Poco (really, why would anyone know this?). Some background: Poco formed in the late-'60s following the demise of Buffalo Springfield, but Messina left after the band's second album. He then teamed up with Kenny Loggins for the soft rock duo Loggins & Messina. By 1976, Messina was back on his own after he and Loggins parted. Messina later rejoined Poco for a reunion tour in 1989 and the band scored a minor hit that year with the ballad "Nothing to Hide".
