Tin Man
Dewey Bunnell
America
Holiday
1974
A guy I worked with over the summer recommended
America to me, so I picked up their greatest hits
cheap from BMG and discovered that I knew about
half the songs. They are really cool and have
some great harmonies. I'll be adding more of them,
so check back later as well! BTW, the only America
page I could find was here.
