About
Two of these three Air Force brats abroad were still teenagers when they recorded this 1971 folk-pop classic. Close vocal harmonies, intimate production, and inspired melodies characterize the cinematic "A Horse with No Name" and catchingly corny "I Need You." There's room for snazzy guitar soloing amid the existential questioning of "Here," while Dan Peek's "Donkey Jaw" foreshadows both his future Christian-rock career and America's more electric work to come.

America's eponymous debut album, released December 29th, 1971, around a month after their debut single "A Horse With No Name", which was released on November 12th.
Initial copies also did not feature "A Horse With No Name", as it was originally a non-album-single, however, following the single's overwhelming success, it was soon after added to the track listing of side A, with the text "Includes A Horse With No Name" also being added to the cover artwork, under the band's logo.
