HAPPY 2007!
Happy New Year to everyone in the extended BK family tree! We were so excited we broke out the cheezy graphics just for you.

It's the time for top ten lists, short-lived resolutions, and positive looks forward.

For our part, we expect to get on the road and see as many of you as we can in the coming year.

P.S. We really hope the hangover has passed. Seriously.

 

AMERICA - HERE AND NOW
America - Here & NowNo no no, it's not political rhetoric! It's a brand new album from '70s icons America, which includes collaborations with BK, Ryan Adams, and members of My Morning Jacket, Fountains Of Wayne, and Nada Surf!

Check it out here.


AMERICA, the multi-platinum, Grammy-Award winning rock group, is releasing HERE & NOW, a 2-CD set on Burgundy Records on January 16, 2007. Disc one – produced by James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins) and Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne) – is a mix of new America songs, including collaborations with Ryan Adams, Ben Kweller and members of My Morning Jacket, Fountains of Wayne, and Nada Surf. Disc two is a set of their multi-platinum greatest hits album "History" – including "A Horse With No Name," "Ventura Highway" and "Sister Golden Hair" – recorded live at XM.

(Pssst. Impatient? It'll be on iTunes January 9th!)

But wait, there's more!

Also on January 16th, America will perform "Ride On" on the Late Show With David Letterman, joined by BK and Ryan Adams. Check thy local listings for time.
