5.0 out of 5 stars Ironic that an album by AMERICA has to be IMPORTED???????, July 9, 2002

By	chris jennings (Florida, the best of the u.s.) - See all my reviews

George Martin didn't work with just anybody-and the talent of this band almost rivals the Beatles.This band is criminally overlooked nowadays.I think if they put out one of those ULTIMATE collection deals , and ran the commercial all the time-it would sell like crazy, and make people realize how great this band is/was.I've had this on LP for years, and then finally found the Japanese CD in 1994.This is their best album, but certainly not because of Sister.For reasons of Seasons,Story of a Teenager, Old Virginia, and Company.Seasons starts off with a horn solo making you think it will be a classical song- but what it really is, is their best written and most complex song ever, with time changes pleasing to even this jaded drummer.Company works great with the constant pauses of tabla, you dont know quite where they are going with it, until the chorus kicks in .Old Virginia is one of those semi-country songs, great for sing-alongs like Black Water by the Doobie Brothers, or even their own Lonely People.People In the Valley has a modern alternative sensibility long before there was alternative.Half a Man, and Woman tonight are the only songs on this CD that are not 100% great.Unfortunately the great picture of the Bay Bridge on the inner sleeve of the original LP doesnt show in the CD booklet. Mastering to Cd went well, but I still slightly prefer the warmth of the bass and midrange separation more apparent on the vinyl.I have their box set and it hardly covers this album.They added a bonus track SIMPLE LIFE to the Japan version.PS< yes I can hear the SUMMER CALLING , that's why I moved to Florida!

5.0 out of 5 stars True Talent, January 18, 2002

By	Karen S. Schenk (Chattanooga, TN United States) - See all my reviews

There is not one bad song on America's "Hearts". I grew up listening to this album and was so glad to finally find it on CD on your website after many attempts to find it elsewhere. America was comprised of 3 equally talented young men who all show their gifts on this CD. With each having their own style of music and lyrics that compliment one another, they give the CD variety that works well together. I don't think we ever knew at the time that their music and words could have such a lasting impact on us forever. I cherish the memories created by the talents these men cared to share.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lifetime of Music, July 18, 1999

By A Customer

During a love of my life: "Sister Golden Hair" and "Seasons" to my love of Science Fiction: "Midnight" and "People in the Valley". In loneliness on the road "Old Virgina" and dreams of "Tomorrow". This album has spoken to and through me. I know each and every song by "Heart".
