Song(s) of the Day # 543 America


America pretty much got what they got wholesale from Neil Young, Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Byrds. John Peel allegedly told them to give up when he met up with them in the UK in the early seventies. Still, Bob Dylan thought Young was ripping him off with Heart of Gold and what America had was a fairly pleasant listen nonetheless. No Horse With No Name here. Instead, the opening track from their first album and their second US Number 1 from 1975.
