CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Here & Now is the sixteenth original studio album by American folk rock duo America. This is the first major-label full-length studio album released by the group since Perspective in 1984. The personnel involved in the recording and production of Here & Now departs sharply from previous projects and represents an effort to reconnect with fresh, young talent. The album is co-produced by James Iha (formerly of Smashing Pumpkins) and Adam Schlesinger (of Fountains Of Wayne and Ivy). Guest artists include Ryan Adams, Ben Kweller, Jim James and Patrick Hallahan of My Morning Jacket, Matthew Caws and Ira Elliot of Nada Surf, Mark Rozzo of Maplewood, and longtime collaborator and friend Stephen Bishop. Cover songs include "Indian Summer" (Morningwood), "Golden" (My Morning Jacket), and "Always Love" (Nada Surf). The recording sessions were completed in July 2006. The first disc is comprised of brand-new studio recordings, while a second disc features a live performance of the entire History: America's Greatest Hits album as recorded for XM Satellite Radio.

CD ReviewsTheir BEST album in 30 years! A Fan | VA | 02/17/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is America's best album since their heyday in the the mid-70s! This album was a modest hit on the Billboard album charts hitting 52 on the Billboard 200 and 11 on the Top Internet Albums charts; their best chart showing since 1982's View From the Ground. Working with younger performers like Adam Schlesinger, James Iha, and Ryan Adams seems to have renewed their creative spirit and energized them! Their performance of songs like "Indian Summer", "One Chance", "Ride On", "Look At Me Now", and "Work To Do" are all outstanding, making it difficult to pick a favorite. All of those songs deserve air-play! This collection includes the excellent bonus song "Glass King".
The second CD is a live recording of all the songs from their multi-platinum "History: America's Greatest Hits" album. While in a few places Gerry Beckley's voice is starting to show some strain from four decades of performing, Dewey Bunnell's voice seems as strong as ever. The performances are very good and include several songs not available on any of their other live albums. The new intro to "Sandman" is exceptional. Solid performances all the way around! All-in-all this is an OUTSTANDING set and I highly recommend it! " |
