Indian Summer is the tenth studio
album by the American
country rock band
Poco, released on May 1, 1977. The appearance of
Steely Dan's
Donald Fagen playing synthesizer on two of the tracks marked another move away from the country rock sound the band had primarily been known for. This was the band's last studio album before both
Timothy B. Schmit and George Grantham left the group.
In his
AllMusic review, music critic Peter Kurtz wrote that the album was "a few notches down from their best, early material... The strongest song is the title track, which has some nice steel guitar and harmony vocals, but this high point is balanced by the closing number, 'The Dance', a clumsy suite that's burdened by an over-the-top string and horn arrangement... File this under the "treading water" category."[1]
