The album and a full video recording of the concert, along with documentary interviews, will be released on Rusty’s birthday, February 23, 2027.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoung helped define California country-rock, and his songwriting and pedal steel playing remain central to that legacy. This collection brings together his songs and Poco favorites, performed by Cimarron 615 with friends and fellow Blue Élan labelmates, including Chelsea Williams, Janiva Magness, Sam Morrow, Colin Devlin, Bob Gentry and Mary Scholz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCimarron 615 grew out of the musical connections forged during the tribute concert and the recording projects that followed. The band’s original lineup included Jack Sundrud, Michael Webb, Rick Lonow, Bill Lloyd and Tom Hampton, bringing together musicians with deep ties to Poco and the California country-rock scene. Sundrud, Lonow and Hampton were members of Poco at the time, while Webb had previously spent eight years with the band. Lloyd also shared a history with Young and Sundrud as a member of the Sky Kings, the group they formed in the 1990s following a Poco hiatus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the tribute concert, Cimarron 615 continued as a band, eventually settling into its current four-piece lineup of Sundrud, Webb, Lonow and Ronnie Guilbeau.

Plans for a tribute album were already underway before Young suddenly passed away on April 14, 2021. Unfortunately, Young was never able to hear the renditions of his iconic songs that were recorded by this talented group of artists. As Kirk Pasich, Blue Élan founder and the album’s producer comments in the album's liner notes, “Beginning in 2017, Rusty was, in many ways, the heart and soul of our label.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePasich goes on to explain the album process, “In putting this album together, we didn’t try to duplicate what Rusty did—the originals of those songs that he and Poco recorded will always be among my favorites and we saw no reason to clone them.  Instead, we asked artists to pick the songs of Rusty’s that they’d like to record and to make them their own.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists contributing to the project include Rusty’s labelmates Jesse Dayton, Janiva Magness, Chelsea Williams, Colin Devlin, Mustangs of the West, Roan Yellowthorn and Bob Gentry.
