Review of History by America *****

The Title Is No Lie!  This Album Is a Classic Piece American History.

Usually, I don’t go for love songs, but America is an exception.  Every track on this Greatest Hits album is recommended.  You don’t have to like folk rock to like this.  I, myself, don’t listen to a lot of folk, but this album by America is awesome!  I do like acoustic guitar, but it can’t be the same 10 chord, or so, always voiced the same way for me to enjoy it.  That is, if some play a C chord, or an A minor chord, or a G chord, I am totally sick of the standard ways these chords are played on acoustic guitar.  In fact, I can use them to tune my guitar simply from hearing them so many times.  I don’t need a guitar tuner.  Luckily, America doesn’t fall into this trap in its folk music.  What’s more its G rated.  As a dad, and as a married husband, I started to prefer music that was G rated or PG rated, while before then, explicit lyrics didn’t bother me in the slightest.  Yet, America has appealed to me in all the stages of my life.  Even with all my teen angst, I loved them.  These songs also make good Karaoke songs.  If they were in my range, I’d sing them, but they are just too plain high for my own voice.  So, I will be cheesy.  America has been a band important enough to be considered American history.  So, I encourage you to go out and buy a piece of American history, by buying History by America.
