A spontaneous autobiographical disclosure. A free-form slo-mo listening party. A song a day. Yours to enjoy.

I love America
The band, that is. Seriously. "A Horse With No Name" may be one of their weaker numbers and easily their worst song title, but a straight listen to their best-of comp reveals an impressive array of solid a.m. gold. You may have noticed Songblague's fondness for music of an imaginary California. And this one is a fine slice of it, an early '70s vintage. Features some dumbass folk wisdom in the chorus and rustic drivel everywhere else. More importantly, it's irresistible as barbecue. And also somehow kind of appropriate for a holiday where we set off explosions to express our national pride.
We are not in it for the money. Songblague runs on communitarian values, love of music, and a dash of vanity. If you like what you're hearing, please purchase it from one of the remaining retailers who would like to sell it to you.
