...Souther, Hillman, and Furay Band is an attempt at a minor supergroup. With the exception of Souther, a marginally successful A.A. solo artist, the band has good credentials. Furay, one of the lesser-known members of the legendary Buffalo Springfield, left to form Poco, which concentrated mainly on country-rock. Hillman went from the Byrds to the now defunct Flying Burrito Brothers, after which he spent some time with Stephen Stills's group, Manassas. Although not a critic's band, this group does have a hit single, "Falling in Love," which is gradually climbing the charts. Orpheum theater, October...
Three Dog Night and Souther, Hillman and Furay play the big Saturday night Cape date. The Dogs are actually pretty bad although they've somehow earned a reputation for being great in concert; the Coliseum is intimate for them, since they usually play in football stadiums and the like. SH&F are part of the Byrds-Poco-L.A. set and very mellow...
Souther, Hillman and Furay, are at Tufts Thursday night at 8. They're a new band, part of the constantly regrouping L.A. good-vibes country-rock scene. Chris Hillman is an ex-Byrd, Richie Fruay an ex-Poco and J.D. Souther an ex-producer and solo artist. Like most superstar bands with names that remind you of law firms, Souther, Hillman and Furay will probably split up after a record or two--so catch them while they last...
...Brothers and Sisters has the same downhome feel that Alex Taylor, for example, has always been able to promote. Musically, it fulfills Richie Furay's proverb that "Patience is a Virtue." By not replacing Duane immediately, the Allmans insured musical growth, a growth reinforced by the masterstroke of replacing him with a piano player, instead of a guitarist. Moreover, Dickie Betts' own talent is showcased and it clear that he carries the band. (He had not only played in the shadow of Duane's prodigious talent, but his less real instrumental charisma as well.) The result is a music that...
Loggins and Messina. Everything Jimmy Messina touches turns to gold. They say he doesn't like to tour, so he dropped out of Springfield while it was collapsing around him. To produce, they said. He shows up with Richie Furay's Poco, and that band promptly becomes the compleat incarnation of country rock. At which point Messina tires of touring, leaves Poco. To produce, they said. He falls in with a journeyman L.A. songwriter named Kenny Loggins, whose credits include "House at Pooh Corner," and the ability to sound like a cracker Elton John. Hired only to produce Loggins' first...
