Rock n Roll Hall of Famer Richie Furay Back With "Hand in Hand" Album

Before Buffalo Springfield, Richie Furay began performing with Stephen Stills in the nine-member

group, the Au Go-Go Singers, the house band at the famous Café Au Go-Go in NYC. It was a result of their performances that lead Richie and Stephen to join up with Neil Young, Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin to form Buffalo Springfield. 

After a ground breaking, musical genre creating three year run with Buffalo Springfield, Richie stepped away to form and lead the seminal country rock band, POCO. Along with Rusty Young, Jimmy Messina and future Eagle, Randy Meissner, Poco's first album, Pickin' Up the Pieces established the standard for other Country  Rock acts to follow, including The Eagles.  Poco went on to record many more albums, six records with Richie, before he, at the urging of Geffen Records president and talent manager, David Geffen, joined together with Chris Hillman and JD Souther to form the Souther, Hillman and Furay Band. They recorded two albums, the first went Gold and produced a Top 20 Single.
