Every once in awhile, it’s good to let your hair down and get footloose and fancy free. No decade symbolizes freedom more than the 70s. Disco. Bell bottoms. Lava lamps. Wall phones. The Pet Rock. Vinyl. Many elements made the 70s an out-of-sight decade.
Some may think 70s music is “old,” but not only did the 70s have some of the best music, but the saying, “What’s old is new again,” holds true. With various new artists trying to recapture that classic 70s sound, it’s good to know where this stems from and get in touch with the originals. Knowledge gives freedom. Even enough freedom to dance barefoot in the grass.
Ventura Highway – America

There can’t be a more aptly named band than America. This folk rock band’s sound is steeped in Americana, evoking memories of driving along the coast, vast open sky and a limitless horizon. Oddly enough, though, band founder Dewey Bunnell is British and Americans Dan Peek and Gerry Beckley were in England when the trio formed the band in 1970.
