“Presented here is the first book to examine critically the full
range of Richie Furay's songcraft. Using Furay's life story and his
successive recordings to outline the chapters of the book, Thomas
Kitts engages pertinent contemporary evaluations of Furay's
artistry and also reflects critically upon those assessments in
light of subsequent developments in ongoing rock and roll
culture.”—Theodore Louis Trost, co-editor of Love Across the
Atlantic: US-UK Romance in Popular Culture
“Keep On Believin’ sheds light on Furay’s role(s) in the world of
music of the ’60s and ’70s and provides an interesting insight into
how Furay’s Christian conversion is part of that story. This book
is a mix of journalism and scholarship—which is the best kind of
writing for pop culture.”—Don Cusic, Belmont University
