1974

Richie Furay joins with Chris Hillman and J.D. Souther in a new band called the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band or SHF for short. They put together a backing band that includes ex-Manassas members Al Perkins, Paul Harris and ex-Domino Jim Gordon. This short-lived supergroup was a major disappointment to Richie, who ends his tenure with them after his two-album commitment to David Geffen ends early in 1975.

1976

After taking a year off for the first time in his professional career, Furay assembles a band after he declines Al Perkins’ offer to join Mason Proffit. Jay Truax (b), John Mehler (d) and Tom Stipe (k) of Love Song join him to form the Richie Furay Band. They record Furay’s first solo album for Asylum Records. When it is time to promote it on the road, Furay assembles a touring band of Truax, Stipe, Mehler, Bob Wall (g), David Diggs (k) and Alan MacDougal (perc). It’s back to opening act status and the band struggles. By October, Furay has replaced Wall with Virgil Beckham on guitar. Furay finally takes them off the road to re-tool them.

1978

Furay wants to push this album up the charts and tours aggressively across the country, this time in mostly clubs and small halls. Virgil Beckham decides not to tour so Furay recruits Charlie Crews to replace him on the road. While the shows are uniformly excellent, most reviewers are not that impressed as the national music scene is changing.

1980

Richie decides not to tour behind this final Asylum album when his record label limits their financial support. Instead he made a promotional appearance on a national TV show to promote ‘I Still Have Dreams,’ his only solo single to crack the Top 40. He also begins making appearances at Christian festivals and shows.

Furay forms United States Rock with Grantham (d), Virgil Beckham (g), Hadley Hockensmith (g), Billy Batstone (b) Although USR manages to record some great demos, Furay backs out of the project when Atlantic Records tries to restrict the religious tone of some of his lyrics.

1981

Furay now tours solo as an acoustic act, occasionally with a keyboard accompaniment. His stage act consists almost exclusively of his Christian songs.

Furay continues his music ministry with selected venues throughout the country. The San Francisco booking is a bit strange since he does not really vary his approach of evangelizing from the stage to an audience that expected a rock and roll show.
