This is a great attempt at duplicating the original. But what's the point in duplicating America, except as a learning exercise? This player obviously has musical talent: he should use this and evolve his own personal version.
@rodmeister74 - thanks for the comment rod. i've tried to evolve in my personal versions, but it's like a challenge to me to see how close i can get to the original. your point is valid and understood.
Have to admit that the thumbnail attracted me to this cover. That's not my style but I admit it does have its advantages. My cover has like 9 views though it's only been up for a few months. This song is obviously one that has been covered to death but it's a great song and that's the mark of a great song. People love singing it and hearing it. Rock on!
If you don't have that many pictures, I'd recommend slowing down the panning and lingering on each for longer. Unless you're ADHD I don't see the point of so much flickering.
@anacarolinateixeira the original mp3???? this song is from the 70ties the other century,..guess you mean the original vinyl,.... but the song is from america ;-)
@anacarolinateixeira i dont have a problem ,....its on YT very simple to find ,....think you have a problem cause you cant find it,.. just type in America-sister golden hair and you find lots of original tracks from the 70ties ,...just trying to help you but now i think you are such a person who dont need help so find out yourself get it ??
It's not but I have to give these guys credit I think this is how the song would have wanted to have been played. It feels more like this is the real song.
Wow! I stumbled across this vid thinking it was going to be the original, but this turned out to be such a fantastic cover! Awesome job, fredthejunkman.
3.that person will ask u out or say they love u tomarrow.
4. heres the thing copy and paste to 2 other vids
dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days..didnt try it friend told me to copy and paste it. I Was Scared
I always loved the song (musically), but hated the 'golden' hair part. Blondes are so stuck up and people think they are so great. There is something wrong with that. They are'nt better or more beautiful than girls with dark brown hair and I get sick of society making the rest feel like the gum on the bottom of someone's shoe. There..i said it.
Lyrics aside....this song encapsulates the purity, harmony and good ole days of my childhood...and this rendition is freakin AWESOME!!! Thanks for the memories dude!
guys like girls who are different and unique so for some reason we like blonds. I really don't care, but blonds with blue eyes attract me. I don't know why.
what is so unique and different about blonds? there are a zillion of them out there. not ALL guys like blonds thank God, many prefer brunettes. It's just all mean and stupid really.
i dont think all blondes r stuck up. i mean, im brown haired, but not all blondes r stuck up. i know how ur feelin. i met some blondes who stuck up and think the world involves around them. but not all blondes r like tht
I clicked on a "Recommended for you" link to this song, I start listening-sounds real good, and the singing comes in and.....whoa, that sounds like Dave. Then I look at the JUNKMAN name! How did I miss this? Awesome job. I've always loved this song.

Nice work on all the singing and instrument parts, well balanced. The slide guitar is tasty, acoustic has the right ring, bass is solid, everything works.
if i asked if you would cover a couple classic rock songs that i love and would really like to hear you and your band make an amazing cover of would you and then let me know when you post it? if so then would you start w/ eminence front by the who and turn to stone by ELO
