In this episode of the LEGENDS Podcast by All Day Vinyl, our host Scott Dudelson speaks with a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, country rock pioneer and co-founder of Buffalo Springfield & Poco - Richie Furay. Furay describes his extraordinary musical journey which has spanned over four decades and his intriguing transition from a rock star to a pastor, and an in-depth recollection of his time with The Buffalo Springfield and Poco.

Born in Buffalo NY, his father wore two hats as pianist and conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. He would seat Dave in the orchestra pit during performances as early as seven years old. Dave's brother Robert would soon become a multiple Grammy-nominated classical percussionist, and his sister an accomplished rock/soul singer. Shortly after his father's passing when Dave was 10, he suddenly took an interest in the piano that was sitting idly in the living room. Osmosis? Within six months Dave had mastered the C Sonata by Mozart,and began an obsession with XTC, Herbie Hancock, Yes, Todd Rundgren and of course, DEVO. Pretty diverse for an 11 year old. He clearly made the right choice. By the age of 17, he was one of the top keyboardists in his hometown, winning multiple awards consistently for seven years. Finally the big break came, when Robby Takac of the Goo Goo Dolls called and left a simple message from sunny LA: “you wanna come out and tour with us for a year?” In a matter of one day Dave went from playing in front of 300 in a local Buffalo bar to playing Woodstock in front of 65000. This led to a two-and-a-half year relationship with the Goo Goo Dolls that took Dave around the world twice as touring keyboardist/vocalist for the “Dizzy Up The Girl” tour, the landmark album that spawned five top ten singles between 98 and 2000. That experience sealed his fate.

Episode 218: Of all the 1960s California folk rockers, Richie Furay had a quieter but most interesting career. He co-founded two iconic bands in Buffalo Springfield and Poco. He wrote and sang a landmark country rocker in "Kind Woman," the track that brought steel guitar man and eventual frontman Rusty Young into the Poco fold. And then in midlife Furay moved to Colorado to become a pastor, leading a church for decades, while touring and recording as the Richie Furay Band. Now he's released a Nashville-made covers album called In The Country with tracks from the hit parade of Keith Urban, Garth Brooks and others. Also in the hour the Milwaukee to Nashville journey of Sista Strings, the musical vehicle for Chauntee (violin) and Monique (cello) Ross. They've been visible on stage in the past year with folk stars Allison Russell and Brandi Carlile. And they have big plans for their own sound.

Poco, Rusty Young, and it happens all the time.
Paul Cotton, a mainstay in Poco for nearly 40 years, is featured in this tribute episode. Starting his nationally recognized music career with Illinois Speed Press in 1968, he went on to replace Jim Messina in Poco in 1970. Paul, along with Poco's co-founder Rusty Young, were at the forefront of the band during their most commercially successful years. Paul passed away on August 1, 2021, just a few months after Rusty's passing (Episode103). Multi-award winning program director Ray White reaches back, revisiting an interview with Paul in December of 2006, to talk about the band's favorite place to play - Wildwood Springs Lodge, his solo work and time with Jimi Hendrix. A look back at the fabulous career by a one-of-a-kind musician, Paul Cotton. The legendary bands and their members... we have them on the CAT!
Pedal Steel veteran Nathan Guilford (Buddy South, Modulated Spiral Groove) takes a spin, luck listener. Nathan and Dan talk about the history and evolution of the steel guitar, from Hawaii to Rusty Young to Robert Randolph. Nathan and Dan break down Randy's breakout hit, Mama Told Me Not to Come. Starting with the Animals, the song passes through Ry Cooder, Three Dog Night, and then some very surprising (some would say disturbing) covers. Then we spin the Wheel and both try to say something nice about the love theme to "Overboard." Thanks Nathan! Keep of rockin. And coutryin.

Rusty Young, co-founder and only consistent member of the band Poco during their career (1968-2021), passed away on April 14, 2021. His career was launched when he was tapped to play steel guitar for Buffalo Springfield. Shortly thereafter, he formed Poco with several of Buffalo Springfield's band members. Rusty was a talented multi-instrumentalist and an excellent vocalist. Poco had eighteen albums land on the charts with their Legend and Legacy albums going "Gold." Their last studio album was All Fired Up and in 2017, Rusty released his only solo album, during his illustrious career, titled Waiting For The Sun. He was inducted into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame in in 2013. Multi-award winning program director Ray White had numerous opportunities during the past 12 years to catch up with Rusty. We feature highlights of our favorite time spent with him, in December of 2009, when Rusty shares his insights into the formation of Poco, the reunion album "Legacy," a future goal, and thoughts on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Rusty was a special friend of ours at Classic Artists Today who will be missed dearly We hope you will enjoy our tribute and listen to our last interview with Rusty on Episode 031, too.

Y es que los artistas extrañan esa situación de no hacer giras y no tener como compañeros de viaje a su banda de soporte. Es lo que le pasa a Alanis Morissette que lo expresa sentada delante del piano y mientras dice que no hay día que pase sin escuchar música en su cabeza remata con la esperanza de que volverán juntos. Fórmula física. Y la energía de Mayor Tom que acaba de publicar su tercer disco que completa lo que hizo en 2008 con "My space" y en 2015 con "Unfollow". De nuevo grabado entre Abbey Road (como si fuera su casa no para de cruzarse por sus pasillos con Paul McCartney) y su Control de Tierra presenta doce canciones sin maquillaje con invitados como Rubén Pozo, Guille Mostaza o Heredeiros da Crus.

Rusty Young, fundador y líder de Poco, grupo máximo exponente del nacimiento y explosión del col try-rock, falleció el pasado miércoles 14 de abril. Nacido de la separación de Buffalo Springfield, cuando Ritchie Furay y Jim Messina se unieron a Rusty Young y George Grantham, es la banda que nunca alcanzó el éxito masivo que obtuvo Eagles.Sí lograron cierta popularidad con el álbum “Legend” y con las canciones “Heart Of The Night” y, sobre todo, “Crazy Love” que el propio Young compuso y cantó. Rusty Young fue un especialista del dobro, mandolina, banjo y, principalmente, pasará a la Historia como uno de los mejores guitarristas del “pedal steel”.

El pasado miércoles murió a consecuencia de un ataque cardiaco Rusty Young en su casa de Davisville, en el estado de Missouri. Tenía 75 años. Nuestro máximo respeto a este músico californiano criado en Colorado que se unió en 1967 a lo que quedaba de Buffalo Springfield y casi inmediatamente pasó a formar parte de Poco con Richie Furay, George Grantham y Jim Messina. Ha sido el único miembro de la banda que ha permanecido en el grupo desde sus comienzos en 1968 hasta su muerte. Se crió en Colorado y comenzó a interesarse por el lap steel siendo muy joven, para continuar con la guitarra y el steel guitar. Comenzó a tocar country en los bares y estuvo durante un tiempo con Boenzee Cryque, una banda psicodélica de Denver. Rusty Young tocó steel guitar, banjo, dobro, guitarra y piano ya en el primer disco de Poco, Pickin’ Up The Pieces, y colaboró por entonces con el instrumental “Grand Junction”, grabado a comienzos de 1969, pasando a ser el autor de los temas instrumentales más representativos del grupo. Él y su mujer Mary estaban muy concienciados en el apoyo a los animales a través del Refugio Hope for Paws (Friends of Steelville Pound). De hecho, el líder de Poco publicó hace un par de años en digital "Listen To Your Heart", cuya recaudación por descargas se destinó a apoyar el trabajo de esta organización benéfica. Ha sido la última grabación que hemos conocido del músico ahora fallecido. Tardó 50 años en publicar su primer disco en solitario, Waitin’ for the Sun, editado en 2017 y grabado en el estudio casero que Johnny Cash y June Carter poseían en Hendersonville, Tennessee. Pero hoy hemos querido destacar fundamentalmente su aportación a la carrera de una banda seminal como ha sido Poco. Por eso, nos hemos acogido a canciones como "Hoe Down","Fools Gold", “Rocky Mountain Breakdown” o “Sagebrush Serenade”. Fue con un tema de menos de 2 minutos como "Us" cuando le escuchamos tomar la voz solista de la banda y despuntar definitivamente en Rose of Cimarron, el álbum definitivo de aquella formación imprescindible. Más tarde, una canción suya, "Crazy Love", se convirtió en el single más exitoso de Poco y decidió ponerse al frente de ese nombre legendario hasta el pasado miércoles. En su único álbum en solitario volvió a contar con sus viejos compañeros Richie Furay y Timothy B. Schmit para recordar viejas andanzas que siempre estarán marcadas por una obra maestra que Rusty Young compuso en solitario y que resumen su importancia en la historia de la música popular: "Rose of Cimarron".

John Cowan is one of bluegrass, country, and rock's finest tenor vocalist. Fortunately for New Grass Revival, The Doobie Brothers, and many others, he's a damn fine bass guitarist too! Cowan, along with other New Grass members, will be officially inducted into the Bluegrass Hall of Fame on October 1 in a previously taped ceremony from the stage of the historic Ryman Auditorium. It's an honor he holds dear to his heart. Born in Ohio, Cowan first developed his musical talent in Louisville, Kentucky, when he began playing cover tunes in local rock bands. His first musical break came in the early 1970s when working at a car wash in Louisville and received a call from New Grass Revival member Sam Bush, inviting him to audition. He was offered a spot as the band's new bassist that very day. Cowan returned to Louisville long enough to gather his belonging and quit his job. He immediately moved in with another member so the group could begin practicing. They soon discovered just how great a vocal range their new bass player added to the group. "Callin' Baton Rouge," the highest-charting New Grass Revival tune, was later recorded by Garth Brooks, who also scored a top-five hit on the country charts years later. Cowan also added his tenor vocals to Brook's version. When New Grass Revival disbanded around 1990, Cowan joined forces with Pat Simmons of The Doobie Brother's, Bill Lloyd of Foster & Lloyd, and Rusty Young of Poco to form The Sky Kings. The Doobie Brother's decided to reunite in 1992 and needed a bass player. His bandmate and an original Doobie member, Pat Simmons, suggested Cowan would be a wonderful addition to the band. A few years later, Cowan left the Doobie's to explore a solo career. The John Cowan Band still tours, giving audiences a taste of Cowan's expansive bluegrass vocals. As great an instrumentalist and vocalist Cowan is, he still gets star-struck when he encountered close friends like Emmylou Harris or the late Leon Russell. "Both are two of the greatest artists I have ever been associated with." With his soft gray hair and engaging smile, Cowan enjoys touring and looks forward to playing for live audiences. Besides playing with his own band, The Doobie Brothers 50th Anniversary Tour will hopefully happen in 2021. John Cowan will certainly remain a force in popular music for many years. Please enjoy this episode with Hall of Famer John Cowan and leave us a review on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.
2020 es un año "raro". Pero raro raro. Por eso, cuando acabamos de llegar a su ecuador, hemos echado la mirada atrás y hemos recopilado hasta 11 canciones convertidas en clásicos que varios artistas de Americana han devuelto al presente en estos meses, dándoles un nuevo sentido, una dimensión diferente, un tinte melancólico y cercano, especialmente en tiempos de pandemia como los que sufrimos. Empezamos con Blackberry Smoke, una de las bandas más poderosas de la escena del Southern rock, fortaleciendo su estatus con grabaciones como su último EP Live From Capricorn Sound Studios, donde rinden homenaje a ese mítico edificio situado en Macon, Georgia, con diferentes versiones de temas clásicos que fueron registrados entre aquellas paredes. La apertura de ese trabajo y del programa de hoy es esta imponente versión de “Midnight Rider”, un tema de hace medio siglo que The Allman Brothers Band incluyeron en su segundo álbum, Idlewild South. A pesar de la reunión de Brooks & Dunn, el dúo más sólido de la escena del country desde la década de los 90, Ronnie Dunn quiso realizar una fugaz visita a un par de docenas de canciones que le han influido muy directamente a lo largo de su vida y las reunió en el álbum Re-Dunn: Twenty Four Hit Songs abarcando una enorme cantidad de estilos y propuestas sonoras. Parecía inevitable que el artista tejano echara mano de “Against The Wind”, que Bob Seger grabó hace 40 años para dar título a uno de sus LPs más brillantes y reafirmarse en su deseo de mantener la integridad personal según sigues caminando hacia delante, contra el viento. En los últimos tiempos estamos asistiendo a una sucesión de encuentros naturales entre distintas culturas verdaderamente enriquecedoras. La Americana es el mejor lugar de acogimiento para que, por ejemplo, el vocalista Eric Burton y el guitarrista Adrian Quesada formaran Black Pumas hace tres años. El resultado de poner en común sus experiencias anteriores en las tierras de Austin, dio como resultado un primer álbum de título homónimo que ha tenido una cercana continuación con una versión a esa reflexión sobre la lucha diaria que Tracy Chapman tituló “Fast Car” en 1988. Gretchen Peters, la veterana artista de Bronxville, en Nueva York, y una de las cantautoras más apreciadas, ha publicado el álbum The Night You Wrote That Song: The Songs of Mickey Newbury, en el que ha hecho suyas las narraciones de un trovador ya de por sí tan personal como Mickey Newbury. Dentro de una selección incontestable, Gretchen ha puesto un énfasis especial en su interpretación de “San Francisco Mabel Joy”, un tema que cuenta las experiencias californianas de un muchacho de Georgia y que el músico tejano dejó para historia como parte del álbum Looks Like Rain de 1969. La californiana Molly Tuttle es otra de las artistas que se ha manifestado especialmente activa en los últimos meses, colaborando en distintos proyectos junto a los músicos de Old Crow Medicine Show y poniendo al día sus propios archivos. De esta forma recuperó una versión de “Helpless” que había hecho durante las sesiones de When You’re Ready y con la banda de Ketch Secor culminó los arreglos coincidiendo con el medio siglo de historia desde que Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young publicaran la versión original para su álbum Déjà Vu. Townes Van Zandt es siempre un refugio al que poder acudir. Volver a los sonidos clásicos que han servido de cimientos para el edificio de la música popular es casi una necesidad. Así lo ha hecho Tracy Grammer, pareja artística del fallecido Dave Carter, con quien formó uno de los dúos de folk más recomendables de la última década del siglo XX. Tras cuatro álbumes como solista Tracy nos regaló una versión con un evidente tinte emocional de "If I Needed You", conservando fielmente el espíritu con el que fue creada cuando formó parte en 1972 del álbum The Late Great Townes Van Zandt y que el cantautor tejano dedicó a su productora Anne Mittendorf Eggers. Muy poco antes de la llegada de la pandemia, la californiana Alice Wallace decidió mudarse a Nashville para dar más amplitud a su trabajo. Su álbum Into The Blue es uno de esos discos siempre recomendables que pudo presentar en directo en su visita a España. Coincidiendo con la celebración de 14 de febrero, Alice recordó uno de aquellos discos que sonaban en el hogar familiar y decidió hacer una versión especial en single de vinilo y edición limitada. Era “Long Long Time”, que su heroína Linda Ronstadt había grabado hace 50 años para su álbum Silk Purse, el segundo de su carrera en solitario. Para dar el toque íntimo de la composición de Gary White se puso en manos del productor Doug Lancio y dejó que su voz se meciera con el violín de Xander Hitzig. Yendo a la tradición más básica de la country music que fue la inspiración de algunas de las figuras punteras del nacimiento del folk rock y el country rock en los comienzos de los 70, Tessy Lou Williams, convertida en una de nuestras nuevas favoritas, encontró a los Osborne Brothers y decidió versionar “Pathway Of Teardrops”, un tema legendario que ya habían cantado dos referentes del bluegrass contemporáneo como Rhonda Vincent o Alison Krauss. La artista de Montana persiste en su emocionado y respetuoso regreso a las esencias y los modos tradicionales. Tanto como líder de los Textones como en su carrera en solitario, Carla Olson ha mantenido el entusiasmo por preservar la herencia de aquellos sonidos que escuchábamos en la segunda mitad de los 60 y primeros 70. Su último disco, Have Harmony Will Travel 2, establece una perfecta intersección de folk y country rock clásico con paisajes californianos. De esta forma nos ha regalado una deliciosa versión de la composición de Richie Furay "A Child’s Claim to Fame", que nos sitúa en 1967 y en el segundo álbum de Buffalo Springfield, además de en el vibrante Deliverin’ de Poco. Como invitados ha contado con Timothy B. Schmit, junto a quien interpreta el tema a dúo, e incluso con Rusty Young tocando el banjo, el dobro y la guitarra acústica. John Hartford fue imprescindible para que el bluegrass progresara y la experimentación marcara un desarrollo del estilo que parecía casi imposible. El músico neoyorquino fue también una pieza clave en sus fusiones naturales con el country y el folk, dejando un legado que en los últimos tiempos está siendo reconocido por los más diversos músicos de la Americana. En estas fechas sale a la luz On The Road: A Tribute To John Hartford, donde un buen puñado de músicos que han crecido con sus enseñanzas. Y es inevitable que "Gentle On My Mind" aparezca como una referencia de sus creaciones, siendo además el mayor de sus éxitos. The Infamous Stringdusters, la banda de bluegrass con sede en Nashville que se caracteriza por saltarse casi todos los protocolos del género, ha dejado una versión respetuosa y enternecedora de la canción. La herencia más directa del sentimiento outlaw se refleja en Lukas Nelson y Shooter Jennings, descendientes directos de Willie y Waylon, y que grabaron juntos el tema central de la serie de Netflix The Ranch versionando “Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys”, la canción que compuso el matrimonio formado por Patsy y Ed Bruce advirtiendo a las madres de la dureza de la vida de los vaqueros como para que sus hijos lo sean. Lukas y Shooter han evocado la primitiva grabación de sus padres en 1978 y hoy nos sirve de despedida de este primer fin de semana de Julio y nos emplaza para el próximo en la sintonía de Radio 3.

Hemos sabido que Jackson Browne ha dado positivo por coronavirus tras un reciente viaje a Nueva York para actuar en Love Rocks NYC en la Gran Manzana. Al parecer, los síntomas son bastante leves por lo que no requiere ningún tipo de medicación ni hospitalización. Tan solo hacer lo que todos nosotros: quedarse en casa. El artista ha hecho un llamamiento a todos, y en especial a los más jóvenes, para que tomemos parte en la imprescindible respuesta global para detener la propagación del Covid-19. Hoy abrimos el tiempo de TOMA UNO con "A Little Too Soon to Say", la primera muestra sonora de su próximo álbum, que prevé publicar en octubre y que suena especialmente oportuna. Antes, en el verano, formará parte de una gira conjunta con James Taylor. También ha regresado Gordon Lightfoot, un icono de la música canadiense venerado por varias generaciones de seguidores, críticos y músicos. Con 81 años, acaba de publicar Solo, un título perfecto para estar fechas de introspección que supone su vigésimo primer álbum de estudio en una carrera que ya ocupa siete décadas. Todo comenzó en su casa, con el descubrimiento de una caja de cintas que contenían grabaciones de hace alrededor de 20 años en las que estaba acompañado simplemente por su guitarra. Probó a revisarlas y arreglarlas para su grupo de acompañamiento, pero decidió mantener la desnudez y la simplicidad del momento de su creación, al estilo de Springsteen con Nebraska. Canciones como “Return Into Dust” son las primeras que este trovador de Orillia, en la provincia de Ontario, lanza en los últimos 16 años. El Record Store Day es una fecha que reivindica las pequeñas tiendas de discos independientes. Esas a las que apoyaremos más que nunca cuando pase esta cuarentena. Para la próxima celebración se van acumulando discos especiales como es el caso de un single de Steve Earle con una versión al tema "Times Like These" que originalmente grabó para Songs for Slim: Rockin' Here Tonight, una recopilación editada hace siete años a favor de Slim Dunlap, guitarrista de la vieja escuela que reemplazó en el 87 a Bob Stinson en los Replacements. Un ataque cardíaco le retiró de la escena en 2012 y amigos como Lucinda Williams, Jakob Dylan, Jeff Tweedy, Patterson Hood o el propio Steve Earle procuraron recopilar dinero para él. “Time Like This” dio título en 1996 al segundo y último álbum en solitario de Slim Dunlap, nativo de Plainview, en Minnesota. Además, en la tercera semana de mayo sale a la venta Ghosts of West Virginia, el último álbum de Steve Earle & The Dukes, centrado en la explosión de la mina de carbón Upper Big Branch que mató en 2010 a veintinueve hombres en ese estado. Partiendo de uno de los peores desastres mineros en la historia de Estados Unidos, el artista traza diez retratos sonoros con la habilidad que siempre han caracterizado sus composiciones, explorando como la minería ha sacado a la luz un evidente sentido de unidad y orgullo. “John Henry Was A Steel Drivin’ Man” es uno de los ejemplos de cómo Steve Earle aprecia la necesidad de aprender a comunicarnos entre nosotros y se esfuerza en ello. Dentro de poco menos de un mes estará publicado Mountain Standard Time, el nuevo proyecto de Chris Roberts, uno de los más refutados miembros de la comunidad musical de Nashville, desde sus facetas de compositor, vocalista y productor. Ha sido responsable de musicales, compositores de canciones de éxito, colaborador junto a artistas de prestigio e incluso ha compuesta música para la gran pantalla. Pero el bluegrass es una de sus debilidades y para ese nuevo álbum vez ha querido llevar a ese terreno un tema que en 1970 grabaron Charlie Louvin y Melba Montgomery. Esta vez, Chris Roberts se ha unido a Ashley Campbell acompañados por músicos de la talla del mandolinista Casey Campbell, Rob Ickes en la guitarra o Dennis Crouch en el bajo. Carla Olson ha venido a poner un toque de nostalgia a estas fechas con la publicación de Have Harmony Will Travel 2, siguiendo el camino marcado por la primera entrega de hace siete años. Ahora son 11 duetos con invitados como Stephen McCarthy de los Long Ryders, Vince Melouney, que fuera bajista de los Bee Gees o Terry Reid, entre otros, además de resucitar literalmente las voces de Percy Sledge y Gene Clark. Junto a Peter Noone, ídolo de los mejores años de la British Invasion y líder de los Herman's Hermits de Manchester, ha recuperado “Goodbye My Love”, una canción que grabó originalmente Jimmy Hughes, primo de Percy Sledge, y que pasó a ser un gran éxito de los Searchers de Liverpool en 1965. El dúo de Carla Olson en Have Harmony Will Travel 2 con Timothy B. Schmit en esta deliciosa versión de "A Child’s Claim to Fame" nos retrotrae al segundo álbum de Buffalo Springefield, allá por 1967, cuando escuchamos por primera vez aquella composición de Richie Furay, Y, por supuesto, nos recuerda los días del ahora bajista de los Eagles como miembro de Poco, cuando el tema apareció como parte de un medley, entre “Hard Luck” y “Pickin Up The Pieces”, en el álbum Deliverin’ el tercero de la banda y el primero en vivo. En esta mirada por el retrovisor podemos escuchar incluso a Rusty Young tocando el banjo, el dobro y la guitarra acústica. La herencia de los grandes pioneros se hace presente gracias a bandas como The Sunset Canyoneers, que debutan con el álbum High In The Sky, en cuyo tema central nos recuerdan lo que es estar en la carretera viviendo como un espíritu libre. Un bellísimo tema de country cósmico bañado por la brisa californiana. "High in the Sky" está grababa en Oakdale, conocida como "Cowboy Capital of the World", en el salón de la casa del bajista de la banda William Duke y despliega todo el sentimiento de libertad que en esta situación debemos mantener por encima de todo, aunque estemos recluidos en casa. Sam Blasucci y Clay Finch son Mapache, un dúo de tintes fronterizos que comparte historias de aventuras en las que, en el fondo, siempre se anhela el regreso a casa. From Liberty Street lleva una semana en el mercado y es el resultado de compartir con sus vecinos de Echo Park, en Los Ángeles, el espacio creativo en el que exploran nuevos sonidos comunitarios. El disco, además, establece ese encuentro natural con el folclore tradicional y los sabores hispanos, ejemplo de lo que supone vivir en el sur de California y de la importancia de la cultura mejicana en ese entorno. De hecho hay algunas canciones dentro de este trabajo interpretadas directamente en español, aunque “Right Between The Lines”, uno de sus cortes más destacados, no es un ejemplo. A pesar de esta situación inusual, las novedades siguen llegando hasta el tiempo de TOMA UNO y aquí está "Thinkin 'Bout You All Night", un nuevo tema de Reckless Kelly que formará parte de su próximo álbum American Jackpot. Trata sobre la facilidad de obsesionarse con los ex tras una ruptura. Es una canción viajera compuesta en la carretera y en los diversos estados por los que el quinteto pasó durante una larga gira. Así Willy Braun, su compositor, dice que Colorado, California y Oregón fueron los lugares que conformaron un tema al que se incorporó en piano de Bukka Allen y la guitarra de Chris Masterson. American Jackpot es parte de un álbum doble, junto con American Girls, y supone el primer lanzamiento de la banda desde Sunset Motel de hace cinco años. Quien recuerde a Lou Ford o a los Loudermilks recordarán el espíritu poético de los hermanos Edwards, Chad y Lee, afincados en Charlotte, en Carolina del Norte. Así ha ocurrido en el último cuarto de siglo con su intento de poner al día con una finura especial las esencias del country rock. A. Lee Edwards bebe en los orígenes de la vieja escuela y sus composiciones tienen la seguridad de quien ha estabilizados sus cimientos y les ha dado consistencia. Escribe de forma inteligente y es multidimensional. Con su base en Franklin, también en Carolina del Norte, Alan Lee Edwards nos ha dejado un tema de la sobriedad y el músculo de "South of Sylva", que nos permite seguir confiando en su ya probado talento. Este domingo cerramos nuestro encuentro sonoro de cada fin de semana con Tracy Grammer, pareja artística del fallecido Dave Carter, con quien formó uno de los dúos de folk más recomendables de la última década del siglo XX. Nacida en Florida pero crecida en el sur de California, Tracy decidió seguir su carrera en solitario desde la inesperada muerte en 2002 de su socio debido a un infarto y hasta la fecha ha publicado cuatro trabajos en los que conserva el gusto por los sonidos clásicos, llenos de frescura y con un evidente tinte emocional. Así queda reflejado en su reciente versión "If I Needed You" una canción del inmortal Townes Van Zandt que ha recibido las más variopintas versiones, pero que en este caso conserva fielmente el espíritu con el que fue creada.

Rusty Young has spent his life living, and writing about things that most of us would feel uncomfortable thinking about, let alone actually experiencing. Strangely enough, he and I first met at law school many years ago. But while after graduation, I left to join the digital industry, he travelled to South America where he met Thomas McFadden, a convicted English drug trafficker who ran tours inside Bolivia's famous San Pedro Prison, and ended writing about his story in his first bestselling book, ‘Marching Powder’. Rusty was then recruited as a Program Director of the US government's Anti-Kidnapping Program in Colombia, after which he released a new novel about Colombia's child soldiers called 'Colombiano’, and a documentary on the drug trade called ‘Wildlands’. Catching up with him in Sydney, we spoke about the global drug trade, how Cartels design their technology stack, and the economics of the world’s strangest prison.

One of the first and longest-lasting country-rock groups, Poco had their roots in the dying embers of Buffalo Springfield. After Neil Young and Stephen Stills, the co-founders of that group, exited in the spring of 1968, only guitarist/singer Richie Furay and bassist Jim Messina remained to complete the group's swan song, Last Time Around. The final Springfield track, "Kind Woman," included only Furay and Messina, with a guest appearance on steel guitar by Rusty Young -- at the time, he was something of a rarity as a talented lap steel guitarist who was comfortable working in a rock idiom, and had previously belonged to a folk-rock-turned-psychedelic band called Boenzee Cryque. Young stuck with Furay and Messina, in the process skipping a scheduled audition for a new group that ex-Byrds member Gram Parsons was putting together. Auditions followed before the fledgling group reached out, at Young's urging, to ex-Boenzee Cryque drummer/vocalist George Grantham, and also to bassist/singer Randy Meisner, who had previously played with a band called the Poor. This lineup rehearsed for four months before making its debut at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, in November of 1968. A month later, they made their first appearance at the Fillmore West on a bill with the Steve Miller Band and Sly & the Family Stone.
Writer Rusty Young drops by the studio talk about his his new book Colombiano and the child soldiers who inspired it, as well as his real life experiences in a Bolivian prison.

Rusty comes on and he talks about his new book, Colombiano. Doc gets into specifics and asks about what genre it would fall under, after which Rusty goes into more details of his book such as with child soldiers, a female’s perspective on things, and his research and stay in Colombia. The boys lighten up the mood a bit by discussing their possible pornstar names right before throwing it back to Rusty’s work with the US government. A lot more interesting topics come up such as the experience of being in a war-torn country, Western culture, and even about the war on drugs and legalization.

Back in 1967 Poco was founded by Rusty Young, Richie Furay, George Grantham and Jim Messina. Over the years the band recruited Paul Cotton, Randy Meisner, and Timothy B. Schmidt. Now 50 years later Rusty Young is still making music with his new CD, "Waitin' For The Sun," which includes the familiar and classic Poco sound with his own personal reflections of his life and bandmates who are all still his friends. Rusty joins host Robin Milling to talk about the inspiration for the songs which were born in his log cabin in Pucky Huddle, Missouri - "population 50" - waiting for the sun to rise over the hill. Rusty tells Robin how the Poco members still have managed to remain like family - even though they've gone their separate ways into other popular bands like The Eagles and Loggins & Messina described in the song "My Friend." Rusty tells Robin stories behind such songs as "Honey Bee," which featues Messina and Grantham, a tune that pays homage to his grandmother who played piano alongside silent films. "Sara's Song" is a tearjerker that he wrote when his daughter got married, and "Down Home" features his wife Mary who introduced him to the beauty and solitude of country living. And Rusty reveals how Poco's biggest hit "Crazy Love" almost never got recorded, and some of the weirder places he's heard the song being played.
After more than 50 years in music, Rusty Young, the leader of the group Poco, has recorded his first solo album. The new set is entitled ‘Waitin’ for the Sun,’ (Blue Élan Records) and it features 10 songs that not only give you a peek into Young’s life, but also into his emotions, as the “Crazy Love” singer/songwriter is unabashedly sentimental. In an interview with veteran journalist Robert Neil, Young tells the stories behind the songs, and when he gets to the track “My Friend,” already rising in popularity, it becomes an historic, musical trip down memory lane about the musicians he’s known and the friendships that have endured. While some artists promoting a new album might not want to talk about the past, Young embraces it and happily talks about former Poco bandmates Randy Meisner, Richie Furay, Jim Messina and Timothy B. Schmit, as well as others such as Gregg Allman (who once auditioned to be a member of Poco), Gram Parsons, JD Souther, Don Henley and Glenn Frey. A few of the members of Poco – past and present – are featured on the new album. ‘Waitin’ for the Sun’ also features songs about Young’s family, and in the interview he provides the backstories to songs about his daughter (“Sara’s Song”) and his grandparents (“Honey Bee”). Young says life has been good to him, and the album is a reflection of his appreciation. Poco fans will easily be drawn to the album as will fans of the southern rock genre that emerged in the early 1970s. The most satisfying news about the album may be that Young had such a good time making it, he’s interested in a follow up, and more stories from this natural storyteller would be welcome.
On this Episode.... interviews with Rusty Young of Poco - he talks his new solo album "Waitin' for the Sun," plus many behind the scenes stories, Celebrity Chef Ellie Kreiger gives some yummy snack ideas and has a new book "You Have it Made," & Chuck Berry Jr. talks his late great dad, Chuck Berry, and his last album, "Chuck."

Poco was formed in August, 1968 by guitarists Richie Furay and Jim Messina, who had just left Buffalo Springfield. The pair enlisted the help of session man Rusty Young who had played steel guitar on some tracks recorded by their former band. Young introduced them to drummer George Grantham, while bassist Randy Meisner left his former group, The Poor, to round out the quintet. Among the others that auditioned but not chosen was Gregg Allman. Calling themselves Pogo, (with a "g") the band debuted a month later at the Fillmore West, opening for The Steve Miller Band and Sly And The Family Stone. After building up an local following, they were forced to change their moniker, which they had openly pilfered from Walt Kelly's comic strip of the same name, when Kelly filed suit. They settled on Poco because it sounded like the original name that fans had come to know. Several record companies had considered signing Poco, but Richie Furay's contract with Atlantic caused some problems. The band was eventually signed to Epic Records in 1969 after the label traded Graham Nash to Atlantic, where he would record with Crosby, Stills And Nash. The group was set to record their first album when Randy Meisner announced that he was leaving to join Rick Nelson's Stone Canyon Band. He would later become part of Linda Ronstadt's Stone Ponys and go on to help form The Eagles in 1971. Poco continued as a quartet and released their first album, "Pickin' Up the Pieces", which sold over 100,000 copies. Eventually, they hired bassist Timothy B. Schmit, who had originally auditioned for the band, but lost out to Meisner. The five members of Poco then recorded a self titled L.P. and a live album called "Deliverin'" before Jim Messina quit, saying he was tired of the hectic touring. He would later find success when he teamed up with Kenny Loggins to form one of the most popular duos of the seventies. Messina's replacement was guitarist Paul Cotton, who stayed for three modest selling albums. Frustrated by the band's failure to find a break out hit, Richie Furay also quit after 1973's "Crazy Eyes". After a failed super-group called Souther-Hillman-Furay, he would pursue an unrewarding solo career before turning his attention to religion. Although Furay's departure was a setback, Poco's next four albums through 1977, sold better than the previous efforts. In January, 1978, drummer George Grantham also left the band. With Rusty Young as the only original member, Poco released an album called "Legend" which climbed to the #14 spot on Billboard's Hot 200 album chart. The group now contained keyboard player Kim Bullard along with a pair of Englishmen, Steve Chapman and Charlie Harrison, who had played together for eight years with Leo Sayer and Al Stewart. This was the line-up that finally found commercial success in 1979 with "Crazy Love", which reached #17 and "Heart Of The Night", which made it to #20. Unfortunately, Poco quickly fell off the charts as fast as they had climbed it. Subsequent albums returned to the band's previous sales levels and the group began a slow decline until their break-up in 1984. In 1989 the original line-up of Poco, Furay, Messina, Young, Grantham and Meisner, re-formed, recording a highly successful album called "Legacy" which produced two Top Forty hits, "Call It Love" (#18) and "Nothin' To Hide" (#39). The group toured throughout 1990, but old tensions flared and Furay, by now a minister in Boulder, Colorado, left again. Fragments of Poco toured throughout the '90s with new members coming and going, but in early 2000, Paul Cotton, Rusty Young and George Grantham got back together again, along with Jack Sundrud. In the Spring of 2003, this new version of Poco released "Running Horse", their first new album in thirteen years, backed by a year's worth of tour dates. The album however failed to generate much interest and couldn't crack Billboard's Hot 200 LP chart. In July of 2004, Grantham suffered a stroke during a l...
