America fully recovered from Hat Trick's dismal results with 1974's
Holiday, with producer George Martin's influence rubbing off on both of
the album's Top Five singles. With "Tin Man"'s wonderfully polished
soft pop ease and the wispiness of "Lonely People," the band was able
to recapture the same formula that put early hits like "A Horse with No
Name," "I Need You," and "Ventura Highway" in the Top Ten. The
difference with "Holiday" is that their light and breezy melodies and
attractive folk-rock sound filtered through more than just the two hit
tracks on the album. "Another Try," "Old Man Took," "In the Country,"
and even the cliché-sounding "Baby It's Up to You" contain a sturdy
enough mixture of guitar and harmony to rise them above inessential
filler, at least as far as America's material is concerned. Cuts like
"Mad Dog" and "Hollywood" suffer somewhat from trite lyrics and a
seemingly hurried compositional formula, but this album as a whole
ascertained that the group was definitely showing their true potential
once more. The album that followed Holiday, 1975's Hearts, showed even
stronger improvement, taking the overly catchy "Sister Golden Hair" to
number one and scoring a Top 20 hit with the Sunday morning frailty of
"Daisy Jane."
