70′s Rock Group 'America' Releases 'Christmas In California' [AUDIO]

The 70's group that made songs like 'A Horse With No Name', 'Ventura Highway', 'Tin Man', 'Lonely People' and 'Sister Golden Hair' is back this year with a little Holiday cheer, in the form of a Christmas song called 'Christmas In California.' America was more of a folk-rock band that was (back in the 70's) primarily made up of three members Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley and Dan Peek. Today 'America' continues to tour but with Dewey and Gerry only, Dan Peek who quit the band in 1978 died in 2011. Check it out, because I think the guys captured that unique 70's America sound, with some 'Beach Boys' harmonies mixed in. You be the judge.

American popular music has been around since before America even declared its independence. ‘Yankee Doodle,’ anyone? That classic was sung by Colonial American soldiers as early as The French and Indian War.

Since then, our country has established one of the richest musical traditions in the world. Many songs even deal with America itself, from ‘God Bless America’ to ‘God Bless the USA.’
