You might not have known his name, but his tone will always strike a chord. As a founding member of the L.A. band Poco, Rusty Young was responsible for putting the pedal steel guitar on the rock ‘n roll map and pioneering the Laurel Canyon sound that brought country and pop into harmony. When original songwriters Jim Messina and Richie Furay left the band in the early 70s, Young would step up to author several of the band’s biggest hits. He continued to perform with various versions of Poco until shortly before his death in April of 2021. Rusty Young has left us, but his sound will sustain.
