America was one of the elite soft-rock groups; only Bread outshines them in my book. Practically every hit is here on a single disc compilation. Best songs on here include "A Horse With No Name", "Sandman", "I Need You", "Ventura Highway", "Tin Man" & "Sister Golden Hair". There's also a cover of "California Dreamin'" & two brand new tracks that round out the set for a total of 22 songs. This makes it a better collection than History released many years ago.
Rhino has done its usual high quality remastering. The liner notes are very good. I've only been a casual fan of America, soft-rock never being my first choice of listening. There's a little filler here which makes the title somewhat misleading but that's a minor point. Enjoy this on a late night with that special someone with the candles burning.

If you're only going to own one America record -- this is the one.
Nicely sequenced. Great quality. All the hits and near-hits. Fantastic price. Sure the quality of the material fades rapidly at the end, but that's true for any anthology for any performer that didn't die in a fiery plane crash. In fact, after Track 14, "Woman Tonight," only Track 18, the very dated 1970s disco-lite "You Can Do Magic," is worth sticking around to the end for.
America is, to me, a guilty pleasure. With the George Martin production and perfect harmonies, they were one of the first "next Beatles." They certainly were not an original band. Originality is so over-rated! "Horse with No Name" is the best Neil Young song Neil Young never wrote or recorded. "I Need You" would sound just right on a pre-disco Bees Gees LP. "Don't Cross the River" is country-rock that would make the Byrds proud. They're a perfect mp3 player band. Load up most -- maybe even all -- of the first 14 tracks on the disc and you'll be quite happy each time random mode kicks up one of these songs. (Even "Muskrat Love"! The execrable Captain & Tennille version made me forget that the America version's actually pretty good.)
