Poco:
Poco was an American country rock band originally formed in 1968 after the demise of Buffalo Springfield. Guitarists Richie Furay and Jim Messina, former members of Buffalo Springfield, were joined by multi-instrumentalist Rusty Young, bassist Randy Meisner and drummer George Grantham. Meisner quit the band while they were recording their first album, Pickin' Up the Pieces, though his bass and backing vocal parts were kept in the final mix. He was replaced by Timothy B. Schmit in 1969, and Messina left in 1970 to be replaced by Paul Cotton.

Here's a hearty "howdy y'all" from Buck and Don and all the folks up The Buckaroo Ranch!!
No C&W thread's complete without Tammy Wynette. The lyrics are dated and kitsch, but - Fuck me!!! - that voice!!
Tom Jones' version is better known and sold more vinyl. But a Coal Valleys Welsh boyo singing in a tux in front of an orchestra isn't quite a Country as this version....
Not sure if I ever heard of them.
