"Rose Of Cimarron" 1976 Rusty Young - steel guitar, guitar, vocals
Rusty Young said of the song: "'Rose of Cimarron' is a song I wrote after I picked up a
Poco
brochure while we were on tour in Oklahoma in 1973. It told a story of a woman
who took in outlaws in the 1800's. She fed them, mended their wounds and sent them on
W
their way. Or so they say. ... hen I played 'Rose' for the band, everyone wanted to
make it
a Poco record."
