Episode 122
Richie Furay is the father of Country Rock music. He was a founding member of three Supergroups: Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Still and Neil Young, Poco with Jim Messina, and the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band with JD Souther and Chris Hillman. If not for Richie Furay there might not have been the Eagles or Jackson Browne or Linda Ronstadt or many others.
My featured song is “Stockbridge Fanfare” from East Side Sessions by my band, Project Grand Slam. Spotify link here.

“Live At SteelStacks” is the new 5-song EP by Robert and his band, Project Grand Slam. The release captures the band at the top of their game in performance at the SteelStacks concert venue in Bethlehem, PA. The EP features five of the band’s Greatest Hits written by Robert: “Redemption Road”, “I’m Falling Off Of The World”, “Aches And Pains”, “The One I’m Not Supposed To See” and “Yeah Yeah”, which collectively show off the breadth, scope and sound of the band.
The EP has been highly praised by musicians and reviewers alike. Elliott Randall, of Steely Dan fame, the guitarist who recorded the unforgettable solos in ‘Reelin’ In The Years’, calls Live At SteelStacks “Captivating!”. Tony Carey, the incredible multi-talented artist who has produced Joe Cocker, Eric Burden and John Mayall, says “PGS burns down the house!”. Alan Hewitt of the Moody Blues says “Full of life!” Melody Maker says simply “Virtuoso musicians!”, and Hollywood Digest says “Such a great band!”.
“Live At SteelStacks” can be streamed on Spotify, Amazon, Apple and all the other streaming platforms, and can be downloaded at The PGS Store
