Rusty Young Gifted guitarist, vocalist and song writer: Born in 1946, in Long Beach, California; Rusty was raised in Colorado. He began playing lap steel guitar at age 6, and taught guitar and steel guitar lessons during his high school years. During that time, he also played country music in late night bars. Rusty played in a well known Denver rock band "Boenzee Cryque". In the late 1960s, a former guitar student became the road manager for The Buffalo Springfield (Neil Young, Steven Stills, Jim Messina, Richie Furay, Dewey Martin Bruce Palmer). The Springfield were looking for a steel guitarist on their song Kind Woman (Richie Furay) and he was hired. Rusty became friends with Furay and Messina and became a founding member of Poco in 1968, after the demise of the Buffalo Springfield. He played pedal steel guitar and Dobro in Poco with fellow band members Richie Furay, Jim Messina, and George Grantham. Poco has been regarded as a forerunner of the "country rock sound" later popularized by The Eagles and other bands. After Richie Furay left the group, song writing responsibility was initially carried by Rusty, writing more than 12 hits. During this time period Rolling Stone Magazine regarded Rusty Young as the "greatest slide guitarist in the world". Poco members have been prolific song writers, releasing more than 25 albums. Young and Paul Cotton (guitar, vocals) have been the core of the band since 1971. Current bassist Jack Sundrud first played with the band in 1985. Current drummer George Lawrence first played with them in 1999. The group continues to play and tour as of 2007. ^[1]
