@@ICU2B4UDO The likely answer is that they got the song from a compilation album that came out in '75 when Martin was the producer called, *"History: America's Greatest Hits".* But Frank is correct, this song was originally released on their debut album called, "Homecoming", in '72, a couple of years before Martin had anything to do with the band. You should listen to Frank--he knows the score.

Some people, Neil included, thought it sounded like “Heart of Gold” which it bumped in the charts. Oh well. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Lol. We lost Willie Leacox, the drummer for America this year. 🌺 A friend dated someone in the band so I got to meet them later in their career and we took Willie to a bar with live music and introduced him to another drummer we knew who played with Brian Setzer. Nice guy. RIP Willie. ✨💕

There is a sonic quality in the freshness of the acoustic guitar during Ventura Highway that grabs the brain and doesn't let go. You caught this fact in the first few seconds of listening!

I remember one warm spring day I was cruising on the Ventura Hwy, windows down, my arm out the window surfing the wind, and then this song came on. It felt so serendipitous. It was a good day and I cherish that.

Dang, Nick really is a quickstudy...like Isaac Asimov, who once said: "I'm not a speed reader, I'm a speed understander." Careful with America though. Their other big hit was found to be based on false information. You see, the horse did have a name, which was "Horsey". Moreover, people in the desert reportedly have no trouble remembering their name. This may mean something someday. Like John Boulder, I mean Denver, America, the band, was more sweetness and light than dark and heavy. A slightly lightweight Eagles who themselves were not heavy but would probably never appear on Lawrence Welk, whereas it is possible that America might appear on there...and if there, then, by extension, Cracker Barrel: "More, nay, exactly as fun as a barrel of crackers!" I saw America, the product, in a fairly small venue in wondrous Charlotte, with Foghat, and a half dozen decent bands. I also saw Floyd's "Dark Side" on the same stage earlier, so I have no memory of any of these localish bands. In retrospect, the name kept them from being too weird. "Mothers of Inventions" almost demands iconoclastic innovation. Peace y'all.

I'd like to vote for Sister Golden Hair. I have an amazing friend who that song just epitomizes. It's come to mean so much to me as it reminds me so much of my good friend. Everytime I hear the tune begin, she is instantly on my mind. And I love it. Love your channel!

Play one or two of your favorite America tunes to you kids - or nephews, nieces or grandchildren - like, "I Need You," "Ventura Highway" or something, and you'll turn them into fans of "only the best" music, and change the trajectory of their lives!

I really do like the band America. When I'm in the mood for pristine acoustic guitars, stellar harmonies, and incomprehensible lyrics, they are my go to.
