In 1976 Furay formed The Richie Furay Band, with Jay Truax, John Mehler, and Tom Stipe, releasing one album 'I've Got a Reason', which reflected Richie's newfound beliefs. To support the release of this album Furay formed an alliance with David Geffen and Asylum records. Furay assured Geffen that his album would be Christian influenced but would not be an attempt to preach his newfound beliefs. Furay delivered on his promise and produced a good solid record. Unfortunately, the album along with subsequent releases failed to chart.
Quality: 192 kb/s
After two tours during the late 70's, he hung up his rock & roll shoes in favor of a call to the ministry. But it seems that those who have hung onto the memory of the Buffalo Spingfield and the continual evolution of Poco have never forgotten Richie Furay and his innovative talent.Since the early 1980s, Richie Furay has been senior pastor of the Calvary Chapel in Broomfield, Colorado, a Christian church in the Denver area. He continues to perform as a solo artist, and sometimes with the old Poco friends.
Richie most recently toured as an opening act for America and Linda Ronstadt during the Summer of 2006. The 2006 release of his latest CD 'The Heartbeat of Love' returns Richie to his early country-rock roots with a contemporary flair. It is a showcase for his voice and songwriting talent.
Richie is on tour again, check his site for touring dates!!!

I Saw Richie With The Richie Furay Band Back In 1977 In Youngstown, Ohio. A Little Place Called The Agora Club - Excellent Show. Wonderful Memories. Thanks For The Links.

Thank you for the Richie Furay shares. I have aways loved his songs and am excited to have an opportunity to once again relive those memories. Thanks for making that possible.
Great blog! Thanks for all the beautiful and hard to find music. Hope you got the Bernie Leadon link OK.
@anonymous:

Thanks for all yer R Furay great Country Rock. BTW - I was just handed a great post from another Blog..a HTF VA Pedal Steel Album from 1970 w/rare Sneaky Pete Kleinow & Rusty Young. If you're interested Seeker, drop me a line...SBob
I saw Richie and his small band in a club with less than 300 people in it a couple years ago. It's no surprise that he's still a warm and genuine performer, but his voice is also in great shape, and he still performs Springfield, Poco, and SHF songs, in addition to "solo career" tunes, both secular and overtly religious.
His most recent studio disc, Heartbeat of Love, and the double disc Alive can be ordered through richiefuray.com. Autographed copies of his autobiography, Pickin' Up the Pieces, and the history of Buffalo Springfield he contributed to, For What It''s Worth, are also well worth considering.
@Hazy Dave:
Thx for your comment and story. Love Heartbeat of Love also. For me it's a little bit like 'back to the roots'.
