Now that I've had a chance to really listen to the new America album, I've decided that I wouldn't say it's the best one, but it's certainly very good. For devoted fans of the band, this disk will not disappoint you. For those unfamiliar with their music, this disk certainly will entertain and give you a glimpse of what happens when aging rockers are produced by the next generation. The album has already sold more copies than anything they've put out in 23 years (of new material) and is getting some airplay on mainstream radio. They've also been featured on Late Night With David Letterman and Extra.

According to Gerry Beckley, one of the two members of the band, the following song is his favorite from Here & Now:

One Chance

One chance
For a true love
If a heart breaks,
Does it break forever?
There'll be no more,
Though you want back together

You soon will start running baby,
I know you will.
Though I've seen it coming lately,
I love you still.
How long must I keep on trying
To change your mind?
How long till there's no denying
We're out of time?

Is there really just,
One chance
At a true love
If a heart breaks,
Does it break forever?
There'll be no more,
Though you want back together.

Is there really just,
One chance
At a new start
But just one glance
Tells you it doesn't matter
So you turn 'round so you
Don't have to face it.

Where are you goin' baby?
Where have you been?
I don't even know you lately,
Let me back in.
I guess I'll just keep on waiting,
It's all I can do.
Feels like the future's fadin' into the blue.

Is there really just,
One chance
At a true love
If a heart breaks
Does it break forever?
There'll be no more
Though you want back together.

Is there really just,
One chance
At a new start
But just one glance
Tells you it doesn't matter
So you turn 'round so you
Don't have to face it.
