This debut album of America is considered as a folk-rock classic filled with a great collection of memorable songs that proves their influence on acts such as The Eagles. Using vocal harmonies on 'Sandman' and 'Children' and an intricate interplay of acoustic guitars is for its time highly ambitious. The hits of this album are the widely known 'A Horse With No Name', 'I Need You' and 'Sandman' but also stand-out tracks include the buoyantly charming 'Three Roses', the lovely 'Rainy Day' and the quietly ringing 'Clarice' all of which make this album one of their best and recommendable for any kind of music fan. A classic to own and a stepping stone into the world of folk-rock music.
