New America - "Golden"

As you know, we've been following America's forthcoming record closely; what can we say, we're suckers for indie rock cameos! So finally, here's your first listen at America's take on My Morning Jacket, featuring Ben Kweller and MMJ's Jim James & Patrick Hallahan.

America - "Golden" (QT | Real | Win Media)

Head here for more on Here & Now, out 1/16 on Burgundy Records.

Enjoy.

He is no Jim James. Nice enough though. Great song whoever takes a swing at it.

There are song clips on the Amazon page...unfortunately "Golden" seems to be the only really fresh-sounding track. And I was really looking forward to this disc, mostly because I wanted to buy it for my Dad. He's a huge America fan.

You can listen to the whole album by following the QT link and in the URL where you see:

Just change the 04 to 1 - 12.

Fancy, eh?
