Album of the Day

Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell and Dan Peek began as a young, wide-eyed trio that parlayed the runaway success of their #1 single "A Horse With No Name" into a string of hits in partnership with legendary producer George Martin. America celebrates its half-centennial this year with a compilation that follows the iconic Grammy-winning band to the top of the pop charts, across musical eras, and deep into the hearts of innumerable fans. The new 3-CD 50th ANNIVERSARY: THE COLLECTION brings the core of America's recorded legacy together with choice rarities like an early studio recording of “Ventura Highway,” a live performance of “Riverside,” and an unreleased demo for the #1 hit “Sister Golden Hair.” All seven albums that America recorded in the '70s with Warner Bros. Records are represented in the set, as are all of the band's Top 10 singles. For a limited time, Rhino.com will offer exclusive signed copies of 50th ANNIVERSARY: THE COLLECTION.
