America: Dan Peek, Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley.
America fully recovered from Hat Trick's dismal results with 1974's Holiday, with producer George Martin's influence rubbing off on both of the album's Top Five singles. With "Tin Man"'s wonderfully polished soft pop ease and the wispiness of "Lonely People," the band was able to recapture the same formula that put early hits like "A Horse with No Name," "I Need You," and "Ventura Highway" in the Top Ten. The difference with "Holiday" is that their light and breezy melodies and attractive folk-rock sound filtered through more than just the two hit tracks on the album. "Another Try," "Old Man Took," "In the Country," and even the cliché-sounding "Baby It's Up to You" contain a sturdy enough mixture of guitar and harmony to rise them above inessential filler, at least as far as America's material is concerned. Cuts like "Mad Dog" and "Hollywood" suffer somewhat from trite lyrics and a seemingly hurried compositional formula, but this album as a whole ascertained that the group was definitely showing their true potential once more. The album that followed Holiday, 1975's Hearts, showed even stronger improvement, taking the overly catchy "Sister Golden Hair" to number one and scoring a Top 20 hit with the Sunday morning frailty of "Daisy Jane." ~ Mike DeGagne Purchase Holiday CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | America Homecoming CD (2001)

Homecoming, America's finest album, refines and focuses the folk-pop approach found on their debut release. The songs here are tighter and more forthright, with fewer extended solo instrumental ...

America's Hat Trick has the distinction of being the album that contained the first song that the band sang that wasn't theirs. Written by Willis Ramsey, the syrupy "Muskrat Love" only went as high as number 67 on the singles chart for America, but the Captain & Tennille managed to take it all the way to number four only three years later. The rest of Hat Trick failed to garner any hits and is a slight disappointment after the success of their self-titled debut in 1972, which harbored the band's first number one hit in "A Horse With No Name," and after Homecoming, their ...
| | Millennium Gold Vol. 2: Wods-Boston CD (1999)
Holiday
$12.15
Also available as part of the deluxe box set WCBS-FM 101: THE MILLENNIUM'S GREATEST HITS VOLS. 1 & 2.
Collectables' Rock & Roll's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 is a 25-song collection of '50s and '60s oldies staples that leans heavily on the sound of doo wop and is seemingly thrown together without much thought as to pacing or flow. Luckily, the quality of songs is so high that the careless approach doesn't lessen the pleasure to be had from listening to classic tunes like the Four Seasons' "Sherry," the Angels' "'Til," the Marcels' "Blue Moon," and the Contours' "Do You Love Me." One might argue about the selection of Percy Faith's "Theme From a Summer Place" as one of rock & roll's greatest hits, but it is the only misstep. This disc is a reissue of a 1999 Collectables release titled The Millennium's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2: WOGL Oldies 98.1, so if you already have that one you don't need this. Anyone else looking for a decent collection of '50s and '60s hits might, though. ~ Tim Sendra
It's difficult to make a connection between the music on Millennium Gold, Vol. 2 and the turning of the millennium, except that the compilation happened to be released around that time. Nevertheless, it's a pretty solid collection of oldies-radio staples that doesn't aim to draw a portrait of any specific kind of music, but rather to assemble a group of catchy, familiar songs in one place. Artists present include Fats Domino, Roy Orbison, the Marcels, the Shirelles, the Four Seasons, the Temptations, the Turtles, and Dionne Warwick, among others. ~ Steve Huey
Collectables' Millennium Gold, Vol. 2: JMK collects hits by the Four Seasons, Fats Domino, the Shirelles, the Temptations, Roy Orbison, and the Turtles. An adequate sampler for anyone with a casual interest in oldies. ~ Heather Phares

Holiday
$6.49  
Personnel: Paul Rodgers (vocals); Paul Kossoff (guitar); Simon Kirke (drums).
Recording information: Island Studios; Trident Studios, London, England.
Photographer: Richard Polak.
If Fleetwood Mac, Humble Pie, and Foghat were never formed, Free would be considered one of the greatest post-Beatles blues-rock bands to date, and Fire and Water shows why. Conceptually fresh, with a great, roots-oriented, Band-like feel, Free distinguished itself with the public like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple did (in terms of impact, only) in 1970. Free presented itself to the world as a complete band, in every sense of the word. From Paul Kossoff's exquisite and tasteful guitar work, ...
