Pickin' Up the Pieces: The Heart and Soul of Country Rock Pioneer Richie Furay

When a young Richie Furay moved to New York hoping to make it big in folk music, God wasn€t one of his concerns. But destiny was.
Later, when he started Buffalo Springfield with Neil Young and Stephen Stills, it seemed Furay€s destiny had finally arrived. Although the band recorded only three albums, it remains a touchstone of sixties rock music€“with all five band members now enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Furay remained a musical pioneer, forming Poco and recording some of the first€“and best€“country rock music of the sixties and seventies. His work was a major influence on the Eagles and innumerable other bands. But he still had not found his destiny.
It wasn€t until his marriage almost disintegrated that Furay confronted his need for God. After co-founding two legendary bands and recording with a rock super-group, Richie Furay finally found his destiny. The long journey took him from sold-out arena concerts to the pulpit of a Colorado church, from rock royalty to the Rock of Ages.
Destiny is often found in the places where we€re not looking. As you follow the twists and turns in Richie Furay€s inspiring journey, you€ll gain fresh insight into your own.
