Someone took the trouble to upload America's wonderful 2nd album, Homecoming.  (link)

A couple of comments:

• There used to be these things called "albums".
• Many America albums are two hits plus some filler, but Homecoming, for whatever reason, is notable for consistently fine songwriting and musicianship.
• This was a moment: November 1972.  Politically, election time.  War fatigue, riot fatigue, Watergate emerging.  Average Baby Boomer was about 19.
• American folk rock was on the march.  Jackson Browne's first album came out earlier in the year, the Eagles' Desperado a few months after Homecoming.
• Yes, that's a banjo on "Don't Cross the River". 
• The Beatles had tried some folk rock ideas on the Let It Be sessions (e.g., "Two of Us") but abandoned the idea and went back to rock, ballad, and re-mix on Abbey Road.  
• One odd thing about America is how - in otherwise almost perfect songs - they would just punt on rhyme lines.  "Alligator lizards in the air..."  Really?
• This is America pre-George Martin.  Martin helped transform them into pop titans,  overlaying strings, adding his keyboard skills to "Tin Man", and even remixed some of the early tunes (e.g., Ventura Highway) for The Greatest Hits album.  But they were good before Martin, and Homecoming is the best evidence of how accomplished they already were.
