Default A Horse With No Name, America 1971

"A Horse with No Name" is a song by the folk rock band America, written by Dewey Bunnell. It was the band's first and most successful single, released in late 1971. Dewey Bunnell wanted to capture the sensation of the hot, dry desert, as he remembered his childhood travels through the Arizona and New Mexico desert when his family lived at Vandenberg Air Force Base. Bunnell has explained that "A Horse with No Name" was "a metaphor for a vehicle to get away from life's confusion into a quiet, peaceful place".

************************************************** ***************

In the midst of life's confusion, the solace and joy of old friends and beautiful memories always transport people to a state of peaceful bliss!!!

Feedback is much appreciated. Thank you.

Super great version. I liked it a lot. One of the definitively iconic songs of the 70s.

Very nice cover. I like your little bluesy break in the middle. This was one of the first tunes I taught my son to play, and America was SO good. Thanks, my friend. You have been very kind to me with the little tunes I have posted, and I appreciate it.
