America’s “Homecoming” Album on Limited Edition 5.1 Multichannel Hybrid SACD

Marshall Blonstein’s Audio Fidelity will be releasing ’70s hitmakers America’s “Homecoming” album on Limited Edition 5.1 Multichannel Hybrid SACD in April 2015. America’s 1972 “Homecoming” album includes one of their best known hits, “Ventura Highway” with it’s creative acoustic guitar lines, smart vocal harmonies and spaced-out lyrics, it’s a fan favorite and one of their best songs.

“Homecoming” was the band’s second album and the trio were determined to avoid the “sophomore

jinx” so when work began on the new album America pulled out all the stops to reach their goal. Their production maintains the acoustic guitar underpinning heard on the successful debut album but builds on the sound of that first record by featuring more electric guitar and keyboards.

“Homecoming” is a melodic album full of catchy folk ballads and great harmonies and features two

other hits, “Don’t Cross the River” and “Only in Your Heart.” Several other songs received heavy FM radio airplay. The album is a collection of thoughtful, well-written, and skillfully sung songs. It’s one of America’s better albums, possibly their best for “Homecoming” helped continue the band’s popularity, reached the Top 10 on Billboard’s Pop Albums chart and was certified platinum by the RIAA.
