Gerry Beckley [LP]

GERRY BECKLEY, the America co-founder's 5th release for Blue Élan Records, more than merits the boldness of being named for its creator. Beckley is, of course, an upper-echelon singer, songwriter, composing artist, and producer. That just comes from his many years of uninterrupted music-making, starting during the late 60s when he, Dewey Bunnell, and the late Dan Peek formed America, riding into the pop charts during 1972 on "A Horse With No Name" as well as “I Need You” and registering 11 Top 40 singles, and a four-times platinum greatest hits set.
