America – Homecoming

America’s sophomore album, Homecoming, marked a confident stride forward from their debut. While their signature acoustic guitar sound remains central, Homecoming infuses it with a touch more electric energy and keyboards, creating a richer and more textured sonic landscape. The songwriting is tighter, with a focus on catchy melodies and relatable themes. Fans of their earlier work will find familiar warmth, but Homecoming also explores new territory, with a touch of country influence in “Don’t Cross the River” and a surprisingly rocking “California Revisited.” This album cemented America’s place as folk-pop favorites, boasting timeless hits like “Ventura Highway” and “Only in Your Heart,” but every track on Homecoming offers something unique, making it a truly rewarding listen from start to finish.
