My Take
Richie Furay is one of those quietly foundational figures I have a soft spot for. Co-founding Buffalo Springfield, Poco, and the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band, he helped invent country rock across not one but three bands, yet he never chased the spotlight. Kind Woman, written for his wife Nancy, still carries a warmth that lingers. Learning he later became a pastor made his music make even more sense to me; that gentleness was clearly who he is. He is a craftsman who left behind beautiful work without fanfare, and those are exactly the artists I find myself returning to.
