Richie Furay, September, 13, 2025

When the electric and acoustic guitars team up, and the bass and drums of the rhythm section kick in and are joined by keyboards and the ever important steel guitar, there is such an undeniable celebration of music that comes across it feels like Richie Furay has unlocked the most immortal secret of who he has been all these years. He is joined by a spirit of life and love that only the very finest music can deliver. “This is what I am about: rock & roll and country,” he states, and truer words were never spoken. By the end of the album when the signature song from Poco, “Pickin’ Up the Pieces”, is heard, it is no surprise it was recorded in one take on Furay’s last day in the studio. It’s like a special gift being handed out at an illustrious event. A gift from one of rock & roll’s true pioneers.
