From the Inside is the third studio album by the American country rock band Poco.

In his Allmusic review, music critic Bruce Eder called the album "Poco's most unusual record... featuring the group generating a leaner, more stripped-down, somewhat bluesier sound. The harmonies are less radiant and the guitars more subdued, and the spirits also a little more low-key than usual. But the sound they get is still appealing, the singing more reflective."[1]
