America's Here and Now is just as beautiful, I think.

It wouldn't be going too far out on a limb to say that '70s mush-rock masters America are the last group I'd expect to release an album drenched in hipster cred. Nevertheless existing in defiance of universal logic, Here & Now arrives on shelves, armed with a roster of indie-rock and pop heroes: ex-Smashing Pumpkin James Iha and Fountains Of Wayne-ster Adam Schlesinger produced the record, while everyone from Ryan Adams and Ben Kweller to My Morning Jacket's Jim James and Nada Surf's Matthew Caws pops in to lend a hand.

This set features newly recorded live readings of their more familiar songs along with a dozen new tracks. Most of the music is sweet, poppy stuff that sidesteps schlock.

Though their voices have somewhat mellowed with age, it was good to hear both the old and the new of America. The album can be enjoyed by both the older and newer generations of America fans.

It's nice-guy rock, a little disarming in its queasy sentimentality but ultimately harmless.
