This artist rose to prominence in the late '60s and '70s as one of a handful of pedal steel guitarists moving their instrument out of the country barn and into the rock garage, so to speak. It was actually something of a rootsy move, since Rusty Young's background included playing guitar in psychedelic bands such as Denver's Boenzee Cryque as well as country. He worked and recorded with Buffalo Springfield and eventually co-founded the popular country-rock band Poco with ex-Springfield members Richie Furay and Jim Messina.
