AMERICA - DISCOGRAFIA

AMERICA

BIOGRAFIA

America é uma banda britânica de folk rock muito popular no início e meio dos anos 1970 e agora mais conhecida por seus sucessos como A Horse with No Name e Sister Golden Hair. Embora eles não fossem muito aceitos pelos críticos, a banda teve excepcional sucesso comercial na venda de seus dois singles e álbuns. Apesar de cantores consagrados como James Taylor e Rod Stewart fazerem parte da Warner Brothers Records o grupo que mais vendeu discos neste selo na década de 70 foi America.

História

Gerry Beckley, Dan Peek e Dewey Bunnel eram três americanos muito jovens, que na época em que foram descobertos (por Jerry Lordan), em 1970, viviam em Londres. Seu som acústico, quieto, causou surpresa e fascínio. O America teve dois grandes hits internacionais seguidos, 'A Horse With No Name' e 'I Need You', ambos tirados de America, seu primeiro álbum, de 1971. Com este álbum, venceram o Grammy de banda revelação de 1972. A música do America, então, era uma versão refinada (não melhor, porém) do folkanglo-americano de Crosby, Stills & Nash. Beckley, Peek e Bunnel tocavam e cantavam imitando (talvez não intencionalmente) Neil Young. Até meados dos anos 70, pelo menos, America foi um nome sólido, com álbuns acima da média e hits de médio impacto, como 'Tin Man' e 'Sister Golden Hair'. No Final dos anos 90, o America, com a mesma formação, ainda estava ativo, vivendo de suas antigas glórias.
