5.0 out of 5 stars HAPPY HOUR - Simply fabulous !, December 14, 2008

This disc contains a whooping 18 songs. There are 3 brand new compositions by GERRY BECKLEY, founding partner of the super group AMERICA. He has penned such hits as I NEED YOU, SISTER GOLDEN HAIR, DAISY JANE, ONLY IN YOUR HEART, ALL MY LIFE etc. The 3 new songs are tremendous, very warm, very melodic & of course with intricate arrangements by GERRY who already has a few solo releases, the most recent is the tremendous HORIZONTAL FALL, don't miss that one. The other 15 songs are re-mixes & live versions. The fine diversity of GERRY's talents is quite evident here, every song is a new journey. The live versions are quite intimate, it is GERRY at his very best, only GERRY can deliver like this. The song MONSTER really hits home for warmth & intimacy. GERRY is a musicians musician & this disc is testament to his genius.

Happy Hour is an excellent overview of the long time America member's solo career. It includes tracks from his previous solo efforts (Van Go Gan, Go Man Go, and Horizontal Fall) plus songs from his colaboration with the Beach Boy's Carl Wilson and Chicago's Robert Lamb. This is a very strong collection and includes several songs that shudda been hits. My favorite is Emma. If you only buy one Gerry Beckley CD, this should be it.

5.0 out of 5 stars AN OVERLOOKED GEM, February 2, 2009

HERE IS A COLLECTION OF MUSIC THAT TRULY DESERVES TO BE HEARD AND ENJOYED BUT IN OUR AGE OF PRE-FAB AMERICAN "IDLE" SWILL, THIS GEM WILL BE OVERLOOKED. A GREAT COMPILATION OF MR. BECKLEY'S FINEST EFFORTS, IT WILL BE EMBRACED BY LOYAL AMERICA FANS (I HOPE) IF THEY KNOW IT EXISTS. IF NOTHING ELSE, GERRY CAN BE QUITE PROUD OF HIS ARTISTRY AND MUSICIANSHIP (ALTHOUGH THAT DOES NOT PAY THE BILLS). I HOPE THEY MAKE $$$$$$$$ ON THE ROAD. AMERICA IS STILL TREMENDOUS IN LIVE PERFORMANCE.
