Kenny Edwards

In 1965, Kenny was a co-founder of The Stone Poneys , along with Linda Ronstadt and Bobby Kimmel , and with them made several albums on Capitol Records, toured, and became well-known in the new American folk-rock movement of the 1960's. He collaborated and played with the likes of Don Henley, Stevie Nicks, Warren Zevon, and even Ringo Starr. After the Stone Poneys, Kenny lived and worked right in the heart of LA's "Troubadour days". During this time he teamed up with Karla Bonoff, Wendy Waldman, and Andrew Gold to form the legendary band Bryndle, ultimately signed to A&M. Kenny and Andrew went on to become the backbone of Linda Ronstadt's band , and were central to the Ronstadt sound during her hit years in the '70s. In Kenny's case, he also supplied Ronstadt with material - he introduced her to the music of Karla Bonoff , and he co-wrote with Linda himself on occasion. During this time Kenny also produced Karla Bonoff's debut album and two more for CBS.

Sadly, Kenny passed away in August 2010. His voice will be missed by the many people who were touch by his music and the numerous musians who were touched by him as a warm and generous mentor.
