Not as complete as America the complete greatest hits.
I don't know of any of their songs I don't like. I really like this band. I have always listened to this cd and thought it was great. Then I saw and heard them on Soundstage and I couldn't believe all the great songs I forgot about that aren't on this cd. If I were to buy just one of their cd's I would buy America The Complete Greatest Hits. I gave them 4 stars because of the missing songs.


American Gold...
America always had the song with the catchy tunes and here you can get all of them in one album. I love the song 'Horse with no Name', don't ask me what it's about, just a catchy tune. No need to buy any other America collection, their history album tells it all. .


All the "America" hits you love
If you want their hits as you remember hearing them on the radio or your old album that may be trashed, this is the CD for you. I had first bought the "Here and Now" hoping to hear the original recordings, but was slightly disappointed that on that CD the older songs were live performances only.


America, here we come
You'll find that out when you read the band history inside the cover. It's funny to think the band isn't really from America. Though the album is short, it's filled with entirely listenable songs from the 70's. Soft rock at its best. Sometimes moody, often times just easy listening.

Often sounding a lot like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, America manages to escape the similarities with plenty of hits and beautifully-written melodies that never seem to grow old. Though a very short disc, America: History- Greatest Hits is a good buy. You'll be sure to recognize more than a few songs on here, I'm sure. .


Interesting story behind the art for this record (and other albums)


From one artist to another: Rest in Peace, Phil. Yes, it's true; Phil Hartman (known as a Saturday Night Live alumnus and "Bill McNeal" from Newsradio) drew/painted/designed the artwork for this album!

Phil also designed the Crosby Stills & Nash logo, the Poco's 1978 album art for "Legend", and Firesign Theatre's album art for "The Fighting Clowns".
