Sorry to learn this news. RIP Rusty Young - another of the good ones gone
. You'll probably recognise this CH - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDKVnVTz8sY
"Crazy Eyes" is a tour de force IMHO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pb0H8FiHfE
and "Ghost Town" - all written by Rusty Young - he's the lead vocalist on the latter two - great guitarist as well ... (video for "Ghost Town" is not in sync but it's nice to see the clips) ...
