America Band

America is a rock band, formed in England in 1970 by multi-instrumentalists Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek, and Gerry Beckley. The trio first met as sons of U.S. Air Force personnel stationed in London, where they began performing live.

America achieved significant popularity in the 1970s, and was famous for the trio's close vocal harmonies and light acoustic folk sound. This popularity was confirmed by a string of hit albums and singles, many of which found airplay on pop/soft rock stations.

 

Listened to Homecoming today while the sun's out and it's definitely one of the more unheralded Great Albums of the '70s.

 

I know the singles but never checked out an album so I’ll try to change that this week.
