Poco finalizes their first album in over a decade during the year while performing live dates throughout the country. It is a bit more laid back tour schedule and they begin to include material from the RUNNING HORSE CD in their live sets later in the year. George Grantham also picks up additional drumming duties for Pure Prairie League during the summer when there is no conflict with his Poco dates.
