One of America’s great rock and roll pioneers, Richie Furay
played alongside Neil Young and Stephen Stills in Buffalo
Springfield, producing some of the signature sounds of American
folk rock. He went on to form Poco, one of the bands that founded
California country rock, and then Souther-Hillman-Furay. After
declaring himself a Christian in 1974, Furay released four solo
albums before taking up the ministry in 1983. He began recording
again in 1997, and over the next twenty-five years he released two
Christian and five secular albums. In this biography of Rock &
Roll Hall of Famer Richie Furay, Thomas Kitts provides an intimate
look at Furay’s life and music. Kitts chronicles the musician’s
upbringing, his musical career, and his Christianity, drawing on
interviews with Furay and others close to him. In documenting
Furay’s extraordinary talent as a songwriter, vocalist, and
guitarist, Kitts argues that although he never attained the level
of stardom of many of his bandmates, Furay is a pivotal figure in
American popular music. Fans of Buffalo Springfield, Poco, and
country-rock music will enjoy this quintessentially American story
of a young man on a quest to fulfill his rock-and-roll dreams.
