The Top 10 CDs of the Decade
The Top 10 CDs of the Decade...
7. America - Here & Now (2007)
The 70s soft-rock duo issued their best album since the decade that made them famous. They found a little bit of the eclecticism they used on their eponymous debut LP and their followup, Homecoming, and sprinkled it all over the middle-of-the-road music they put out after their first two albums. The result is this gem of a disc that surprised me and nearly everyone who heard it. The CD’s producers, James Iha formerly of Smashing Pumpkins and James Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne, treated this music with the reverence they obviously feel towards it. They did not try to update America’s sound but instead allowed both Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley to do what they do best. The results are outstanding.
