His early work with Poco was amongst the earliest introductions of the pedal steel guitar into rock music. Other notable pieces penned by Young include "Shoot for the Moon," and "Rose of Cimarron." In addition to his work with Poco, he is remembered as both an innovator and virtuoso with the steel guitar. In 1973, following the departure of Richie Furay, Young expanded his duties within the band, composing several songs including 1978's hit single, "Crazy Love" which finally broke the group into the Top 40. The group's debut album "Pickin' Up the Pieces" is considered one of the earliest examples of the newly emerging country rock format. The band, in contrast to the folk rock direction of Buffalo Springfield, oriented their new sound towards country music.
In 1968, following the dissolution of Buffalo Springfield, Young was tapped by former members, Richie Furay and Jim Messina to help form the group that would become known as Poco. Best known as the front man and steel guitarist of the American band, Poco.
