Review Quotes:
"Presented here is the first book to examine critically the full range of Richie Furay's songcraft. Using Furay's life story and his successive recordings to outline the chapters of the book, Thomas Kitts engages pertinent contemporary evaluations of Furay's artistry and also reflects critically upon those assessments in light of subsequent developments in ongoing rock and roll culture."
