California highway

Yesterday I noted that one of James Vincent McMorrow's songs sounded sort of like the band America. So here we go, with one of their most famous songs, "Ventura Highway", off the 1972 album Homecoming. Just a little trip in the Wayback Machine.

  1. 22 in 72 and there isn't a bad song on this album. It was party time and although a bit tame compared to some rock and roll this music stands the test of time and will continue to live. This is great stuff and I agree the guys yesterday sound similar.
