Ryan guests on new America album

[Sydneyfan]

He gets around....


A number of indie rock artists have jumped aboard America's upcoming album, "Here & Now," due Oct. 17 via Burgundy Records. As previously reported, the set will be produced by and feature contributions from Adam Schlesinger and James Iha. New to the roster is Ryan Adams, who also teamed with Schlesinger and Iha to play "A Horse With No Name" with America last week at New York's B.B. King's Blues Club.

Meanwhile, My Morning Jacket's Jim James and Patrick Hallahan guest on a new version of their own "Golden," while Nada Surf's Ira Elliot and Matthew Caws assist on a cover of their "Always Love." Eliot also plays drums on the song "Indian Summer," penned by Mark Rozzo, his bandmate in Maplewood.

The second disc of "Here & Now" is culled from a live performance on XM Radio's "Then...Again...Live!" show and follows the same track list as the collection "History: America's Greatest Hits," which reached No. 3 on The Billboard 200 in 1975.

Man, what a busy dood. He can't release his own albumns so he's trying to get on everyone elses. :lol

The only songs I know by America are "Horse with No Name" and "Sister Goldenhair" (?).

Can't say those two songs do much for me, but maybe that's not a fair indication of their sound.

I have not heard anything by them. However, I have heard about "Horse with No Name" because it's supposed to sound like Neil Young. :\

Then again, maybe it is. Bit of an eww.

That's what I thought. The lyrics to that Horse with No NAme song are just dopey.

I don't think I'll buy it, you know.

He might aswell guest on a Morrissey record.

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

Ive been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
cause there aint no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...



Its even worse than I remembered.....

[foggy]

And the la la la la's just add to the bad factor. I don't know what the appeal is, but they still play it on oldies stations quite a lot.

HA! Indeed. :D

I like America - I wouldn't consider myself a gigantic fan, but it should be interesting - Ryan with anyone is at least entertaining if not super amazing

And NO BASHING MORRISSEY! :whip (sorry, I just really wanted to use that smiley)
