Hearts by America
Hearts is an album by America, released in 1975. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 14 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Sister Golden Hair”, on 14 lists with a best position of #58.
Hearts, America's fifth studio album, came out on Warner Bros. in 1975 with George Martin back behind the desk, the second of six straight records he would produce for the trio. Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley and Dan Peek, sons of US Air Force men who had first played together in London, were at the top of their soft-focus game here: close, honeyed vocal blends over light, sun-dappled acoustic folk rock, with Martin buffing every surface to a gleam.
"Sister Golden Hair" is the prize, a breezy, heart-tugging strummer that topped the Billboard singles chart, with "Daisy Jane" trailing it into the top 20. "Woman Tonight" breaks the mold with a funky, reggae-tinged kick, while "Company", "Old Virginia", "Bell Tree" and "Midnight" kept FM album radio busy. The record reached number 4 and went gold. Fun footnote: the cover was designed by Phil Hartman, before he gave up graphic design for acting.
