China Cat's Classic Rock Albums Podcast

America - America   A huge hello to all my listeners!!! It's been a while since I've posted I know. Unfortunantly I have had some problems with my set up but I'm working it out and soon enough I will be posting on a more regular basis. I hope that most of you have had the chance to download prior shows due to the fact that I am running out of space and I will have to delete prior episodes :( Eventually that won't be an issue though for I will be turning this into a live stream show so stay tuned for that! Please remember  to download episode, share and feedback :) Now on with the show, today I will be posting America's first album America! Released in December of 1971, this album went all the way to number 1 on the American Billboard charts and stayed there for 5weeks, pretty amazing for a break out band. The song that really catapulted them into the main stream from this album was "Horse With No Name" I always thought that this song was a Neil Young number for they sound so much like him and funny enough this album was the  first to knock "Harvest" out of it's number 1 position in March of 1972. At times I find they also have a CSNY kind of vibe to them which is also the attraction for me, anyway I hope you all enjoy this Friday post, I'll try to have more regular posts soon and the mic up and working!
