Album of the Day

Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell and Dan Peek met in England in the late-1960s, and their wistful harmonies quickly reached American radio thanks to “A Horse With No Name,” which topped the U.S. singles chart. The trio relocated to California but managed to retain the services of British studio wizards George Martin and Geoff Emerick - who'd produced and engineered for The Beatles - for several albums, including HEARTS. Recorded in Sausalito (note the cover shot of the Golden Gate Bridge), America's fifth long-player features a dozen carefully crafted tracks, including the singles “Daisy Jane,” “Woman Tonight” and “Sister Golden Hair,” which was the #1 song in the country on this day in 1975. Certified Gold by the RIAA, HEARTS is an album any soft rock fan will love.
