America's 18th album, Hourglass, sounds both familiar and fresh. The familiarity arises because of the duo's history of hits, although, by the time it was released, they had not had a hit on the music charts in over a decade. The freshness comes from a well-produced album with some surprisingly good songs. The album opens with "Young Moon," which is as good as any of the group's hits. The final selection on the album is a faithful re-recording of one of their biggest hits, "You Can Do Magic." In   [ read more ]

This cut-down version of the two-man lineup's King Biscuit Flower Hour performance from 1982 is reduced to ten songs. The performance and the sound quality are both excellent, and depict the band in a more basic rock setting than their "official" Warner Bros. live album from 1977, which featured the presence of a large contingent of backing musicians. The work here is more viscerally exciting, the singing is impeccable, and the instruments have a nice, healthy, up-front presence. The absent songs f   [ read more ]

The Complete Greatest Hits is an awkward title, but it's more or less accurate. Less because there are two new recordings here ("World of Light," "Paradise") at the end that couldn't qualify as hits. More because it does contain all of the group's greatest hits, from their Warner recordings from the '70s ("A Horse With No Name," "Tin Man," "Ventura Highway," "Lonely People," and "Sister Golden Hair") to their smooth recordings for Capitol in the early '80s ({&"You Can Do Magic,   [ read more ]

America's debut album is a folk-pop classic, a stellar collection of memorable songs that would prove influential on such acts as the Eagles and Dan Fogelberg. Crosby, Stills & Nash are the group's obvious stylistic touchstone here, especially in the vocal harmonies used (compare the thick chordal singing of "Sandman" and "Children" to CS&N's "You Don't Have to Cry" and "Guinevere") and the prominent use of active strummed acoustic guitar arrangements (contrast "Riverside" t   [ read more ]

Homecoming, America's finest album, refines and focuses the folk-pop approach found on their debut release. The songs here are tighter and more forthright, with fewer extended solo instrumental sections than before. The sound quality is clear and bright; the colorful arrangements, while still acoustic guitar-based, feature more electric guitar and keyboards. The performance quality is more assured, among the most urgently committed the group would ever put on vinyl. Verses are still sometimes banal   [ read more ]

America's Collectables Classics box set brings together four of the soft rock band's lesser-known '70s albums including Holiday, Hearts, Hideaway, and Harbor. While America had its most well-known hits on its first two albums, this set does deliver such fan favorites as "Sister Golden Hair," "Daisy Jane," and "Amber Cascades." ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide
