In the Country
Performer: America
Distributor: Select-O-Hits Notes: 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
The first half of the 1970s was the heyday of introspective songwriting and close-harmony singing. The band America was at the forefront of the commercial end of this movement, releasing a string of singles that dominated the radio for years. Following their debut smash, "Horse With No Name," a Neil Young-derived, hallucinatory song-story, America scored again and again with singles and a series of records whose titles for some reason all began with the letter "H." Despite the group's indelible association with soft rock, America's understated pop found an unlikely new legion of fans in the '00s indie world.
