The year begins with the second leg of the GHOST TOWN tour. By the tour’s end, Kim Bullard had had enough. Over the summer, he returned to Crosby, Stills & Nash’s backing band. Poco does not perform live for the remainder of the year as they began work on their second album for Atlantic Records. The lucrative Atlantic contract managed to keep Poco afloat, but the label’s lack of support behind GHOST TOWN was very frustrating for the band.
