"woman tonight"............#44 US

America's fifth studio set, like the fourth this was produced by George Martin...
again, like the other albums i own of these guys, a few tracks i dont like,mainly due to the same reasons in that theres little happening,few melodies,and lack of their good harmonies.but also as usual, there is one great track that i love and a couple that come close....man i hate it when artists have the talent to be great but seldom live up to the expectations!
album was a million seller in the US, and according to wikipedia failed to chart in the UK or Canada...i can understand the UK to a degree because they were into the whole glam-rock thing around that time, but Canada...they should have embraced these guys IMO!
this album contains my second favourite America song in "sister golden hair",love that thang dawg!,
another track that comes close to being my favourite here is the beautiful "old virginia"...
other than that, this is run of the mill/ho-hum America!
