''Ghost Town'' is the 17th album by the country rock band Poco, released September 20, 1982. The Atlantic Records label debut of Poco, ''Ghost Town'' was the final album by Poco to feature the group lineup who had played on Poco's 1978 breakout album ''Legend'', as the 1984 Poco album release ''Inamorata'' would not feature Charlie Harrison. After the gold certified success of the 1978 ABC Records album release ''Legend'', Poco's three subsequent album releases on MCA Records - who had absorbed ABC - failed to reach that level of success. ''Ghost Town'' marked Poco's move to Atlantic Records with no resultant comeback peaking at #195 on the album chart in ''Billboard'' magazine, well below the peak of the group's final MCA album ''Cowboys & Englishmen'' which had been released in February 1982 to reach a chart peak of #131. The first single from ''Ghost Town'' was the title cut which failed to reach the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, "bubbling under" with a peak of #108, and the second single "Shoot the Moon" while more successful fell short of the Top 40 with a Hot 100 peak of #50 in March 1983. A third single release: "Break of Hearts" - cited as one of his favorite overlooked compositions by Paul Cotton who's described the song as a followup to Poco's 1979 Top 20 hit "Heart of the Night" - failed to chart. Cotton has stated that Poco had problems with Atlantic Records: Poco would record one more album for Atlantic: ''Inamorata'' released in April 1984, then take a hiatus from recording until 1989 when the RCA Records release ''Legacy'' became Poco's second gold certified album. ==Track listing== #"Ghost Town" (Rusty Young) – 5:42 #"How Will You Feel Tonight" (Paul Cotton) – 3:38 #"Shoot For The Moon" (Rusty Young) – 2:48 #"The Midnight Rodeo (In The Lead Tonight)" (Paul Cotton) – 2:39 #"Cry No More" (Rusty Young) – 3:33 #"Break Of Hearts" (Paul Cotton) – 4:28 #"Love's So Cruel" (Rusty Young) – 3:02 #"Special Care" (Paul Cotton) – 2:42 #"When Hearts Collide" (Rusty Young) – 3:33 #"High Sierra" (Paul Cotton) – 3:40 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ghost Town (Poco album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
