Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell of the band America were barely out of their teenage years when they hit it big. They were riding high in the early ‘70s when their first single "A Horse with No Name" and their self-titled debut album both reached the top of the charts. But critics were quick to compare them to another group of young men known for their folk rock music and harmonies: Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young. In this clip, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell talk about those comparisons and find

Introducing "Ratherisms" by Dan Rather | AXS TV

Steve Miller grew up learning from musical greats such as Les Paul and T-Bone Walker so it's no wonder that the Steve Miller Band created some of rock's most enduring hits.
