Our Take

AMERICA Heritage II: Demos / Alternate Takes 1971-1976 (Rsd 2020)

In a world where demos and alternate takes are often relegated to the dusty corners of record store bargain bins, AMERICA’s latest release is a delightful reminder of the hidden gems that can be found in the archives. Heritage II is a treasure trove of raw and unfiltered versions of the band’s classic hits, offering a glimpse into the creative process of these iconic musicians.

From the stripped-down acoustic take on "A Horse with No Name" to the experimental reimagining of "Ventura Highway," Heritage II showcases AMERICA at their most playful and adventurous. The demo versions of these tracks reveal a sense of spontaneity and charm that is often missing from the polished final recordings, giving listeners a fresh perspective on familiar tunes.

While some may dismiss demos and alternate takes as mere curiosities, Heritage II proves that these unreleased gems can stand on their own as legitimate works of art. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of AMERICA or a casual listener looking to explore a new side of the band, this collection is a must-have addition to your music library.

So take a trip down memory lane with AMERICA and experience the magic of Heritage II. Who knows, you may just discover a new favourite version of a classic song that you never knew you needed.
