During his career in music Jimmy (Jim) Messina has been a major influence in creating the country rock sound, which bands as Eagles made world famous. He first became known to a greater public when working first as engineer and producer for Buffalo Springfield and finally bass player in the band. After they split Jimmy Messina together with Richie Furay in 1968 formed Poco (originally named Pogo). Two years and three albums later he left Poco and signed on as independent producer with Columbia. In late 1970 the intention was he should be in charge of recording songs with Kenny Loggins, but they ended up playing and recording together for seven years as Loggins And Messina. Since then he has most of the time worked as a solo artist releasing his first album in 1979.
Lately he has been touring with Kenny Loggins again.
