Great article, hard to believe that the article was written 32 years ago, and as of that time Rusty already had 12 years professional experience and 19 years total experience with steel guitar. That's over 50 years steel playing as of year 2004. Time flys. |

Great article! One thing that wasnt mentioned was that Rusty was playing pedal steel in ROCK bands around Denver a few years prior to Buffalo Springfield and Poco, not just country music in honky tonks. |

Bad Weather is still my favorite steel solo. JP |

Jim.. Bad Weather is one of the GREATEST steel solos of all time... bar none! I also freak out over a solo he does on the Cantamos album.. the song is "What ever happened to your smile".. Rusty is among the very best steel players in terms of tone, taste,originality,innovation etc..underrated IMHO.... bob |

Yep, "Boenzee Cryque" was one Denver band featuring (the young) Rusty Young, which hit Grand Junction, Colorado. That night he patched into leslies that a mutual friend had onstage for his B3, and 'tore us up'. It was probably 1968. My keyboard friend was experimenting too, pounding his Fender Rhodes through a Crybaby pedal. They jammed while I was trying to get the 'Light Show' set up. I am lucky to have experienced innovation as it happened. His instrumental, "Grand Junction" is, of course, my favorite forever. |

I don't know guys - Bad Weather is pretty good but I think Buffalo Springfield's "Kind Woman" has one helluva soulful pedal steel solo by Rusty. Heck, it's all good. ------------------

I agree with Dave about "Kind Woman" -- I've always been amazed by how much feeling Rusty managed to draw out of so few notes ... |

"Kind Woman" (Buffalo Springfield): IMO if RY had never played on another recording, this cut would still put him in the pantheon... playing unlike anything else going on at the time, elegant, tasteful, almost Baroque... but he did go on to play "Prodigal" on Suite Steel- another emotionally charged performance... and of course POCO's Bad Weather... their version of Honky Tonk Downstairs Not to mention the whole DeLIVErin' album... a triumph of "stream of conciousness" accompaniment (Consequently so long- Just in case it happens Yes Indeed) I think it's past time ole Rusty goes into the HOF.. but I ain't holdin' my breath. |

Keith, it's a good thing you didn't mention Jerry Garcia on the other forum!  ------------------

No doubt Rusty Young deserves to be in the HOF. I saw him with POCO in 1969 (maybe early 1970) and have always liked the psg since. Beisdes his country and country-rock playing, check out his version of "Everybody's Talkin' " on Suite Steel. His jazz chops/C6 work is right up there BE's "black album". DJ Farrell |

Does anyone know for sure if he is or is not related to Neil Young? Brad Sarno |

Brad: I'll try to ask Rusty that the next time I talk with him. I actually have spoken with him a couple times just recently when he purchased his second Carter (a black S-10 this time). He seemed very happy and content and energized for upcoming performances. He says Poco (with Richie) plans to shoot a DVD May 20 2004 at a live concert 8 pm at the Bellcourt Theater in Nashville. See this page for info on that concert of old and new songs: Rusty's Journal. Also, you may be able to ask Rusty in person as he'll be near you with Poco in St. Charles in July. Here is the Poco gig schedule. btw: here is the official Poco web site address Rusty gave me poconut.com. ... hope that helps Ann Fabian |

Rusty led me down the path to playing steel. He will allways be one of my heroes. |
