A Horse with No Name
"A Horse with No Name" is a song written by Dewey Bunnell, and originally recorded by the band America. It was the band's first and most successful single, released in late 1971 in Europe and early 1972 in the US, and topping the charts in several countries.〔("A Horse with No Name" USA chart history ), Billboard.com. Retrieved September 6, 2011.〕 It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RIAA Gold & Platinum Database )〕 Due to the song's resemblance to the work of Neil Young from the same time period, it is occasionally mistaken as having been written and sung by Young.
==Development==
America's self-titled debut album was released initially in Europe with only moderate success and without the song "A Horse with No Name." "A Horse with No Name" was originally called "Desert Song" and was written while the band was staying at the home studio of Arthur Brown, in Puddletown, Dorset. The first two demos were recorded there, by Jeff Dexter and Dennis Elliott, and were intended to capture the feel of the hot, dry desert that had been depicted at the studio from a Salvador Dalí painting, and the strange horse that had ridden out of an M.C. Escher picture. Writer Dewey Bunnell also says he remembered his childhood travels through the Arizona and New Mexico desert when his family lived at Vandenberg Air Force Base.
Trying to find a song that would be popular in both the United States and Europe, Warner Bros. was reticent about releasing Beckley's "I Need You" ballad as the first single from ''America''. The label asked the band if they had any other material, then arranged for them to record four more songs at Morgan Studios, Willesden in London. "A Horse with No Name" was released as the featured song on a three-track single in the UK, Ireland, France, Italy and the Netherlands in late 1971. On the release "A Horse with No Name" shared the A-side with "Everyone I Meet Is from California"; "Sandman" featured on the B-side. However, its early-1972 two-track US release did not include "Sandman", with "Everyone I Meet Is from California" appearing on the B-side.
