Better saddle up that horse with no name again. '70s also-rans America are releasing a new double-album, Here and Now, January 16th on Burgundy Records. And do they ever have a surprising list of collaborators. The album was produced by former (and current?) Smashing Pumpkin James Iha and Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger. Adding vocals to certain songs are prolific omnipresence Ryan Adams, Ben Kweller, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, and members of Nada Surf. The first disc is all new material, while the second consists of live versions of the band's greatest hits.
I smell Bread...making a comeback...collabing with, like, Mike Patton or some such nonsense.
"Ride On" featuring Ryan Adams, Ben Kweller, and Adam Schlesinger
