Richie Furay was a founder member of Buffalo Springfield. Poco and Souther. Hillman. Furay Band. Richie Furay has been inducted to the Rock'n Roll Hall Of Fame. Richie hasn't recorded a solo album for 15 years and many of the bands that he recorded with mean nothing to the everyday CD buying British public. Richie has produced this new album for Calvary Chapel Music. He is pastor to one of their fellowships these days, based in Colorado. Consequently, most of the album is made up of worship songs that wouldn't be out of place in your fellowship on a Sunday morning. The musicianship on these recordings is excellent. Furay has chosen lo give the whole set a country-rock flavour - the genre in which he made his name. He has brought in his old Poco bandmate Rusty Young on steel guitar and dobro and Rusty's contribution deserves a special mention. Lyrically, the songs are better than most contemporary worship songs that come to my attention, This album deserves a much wider exposure than it will get on the small church-based label that Richie has chosen for its release.
