From the seminal work of Buffalo Springfield and the fusion of country and rock that was Poco, the California sound of Souther-Hillman-Furay Band to the singular vision of his solo albums, Richie Furay directly contributed to the formation of a sound and style that is etched into the memories and soundtrack of a generation. Along the way he has lived a full life as a husband, father, grandfather, and pastor, as well as singer-songwriter and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member.

TFSB- Contrary to the rock and roll narrative, you didn’t die young, you didn’t burn out, and you sure haven’t faded away. In fact, you have a new album out, Hand in Hand.

RF- What a nice intro; it’s very humbling.  I have indeed been blessed – and can only thank my Lord Jesus Christ for that; I have lived my dreams, been given a wonderful, loving supportive family and great church fellowship.  Yes, I do have new music to share with my audience.  After Heartbeat Of Love I really thought that would be it but songs just started to come after the short-lived Buffalo Springfield reunion and I decided to take advantage of it with this recording.
