Subject: America makes a comeback?!

Written By: KKay on 06/29/06 at 12:31 pm

here is an article from a current "indie" magazine...

INDIE ROCK AMERICA
The indie rock comeback I'm most looking forward to this fall? America.

Yeah, that America. The AM Gold hitmakers.

On 10/17 the once-popular '70s fokies release double album Here & Now  on Sony's Burgundy Records, "an innovative record label dedicated to  bringing you the best new music from your favorite iconic artists."

One of the discs contains live material, the other features an all- star cast of Stereogum faves. Adam Schlesinger and James Iha  produced. Ryan Adams makes a cameo. Ira and Elliot from Nada Surf  help America cover their "Always Love." AND Jim and Patrick from My  Morning Jacket help America cover their lovely "Golden."

It's gonna be like Santana's comeback, but not lame!

Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley gave a preview earlier this month at  BB King's when Iha, Schlesinger, and Adams joined 'em onstage for "A  Horse With No Name."

This will be a great comeback.  I've always loved America.  Their last hit ever hit was "The Border" in 1983, which is still my all-time fave from them

KKay, is the article is on line?  If so, can you post a link?  Thanks!  :)  I'd like to share it with the other fans on the official America website (which I frequent).

The new album has been known of for a couple months.  But everyone is interested in whether the word is getting out!    :)

Actually it came out in '82, just before Border.  Great song, though  ;)

They had a hit ballad in late '82 between those two songs called "Right Before Your Eyes", which some call the "Rudolph Valentino" song...  ::)

Sweet!! I need to get that album. America is touring and has 1 or 2 bay area dates and I am going to try to make one of them. If I am able to catch a concert, I'll try to pick you up a souvenir KKay.
