Shot Notes
For a long time I have been under the impression the song “A horse with no name” was a (good old) Neil Young composition. But later on, I found out I was wrong (of course)… However, my ‘mistake’ wasn’t that bad, after reading the next lines:
[Source: Wikipedia:] “A Horse with No Name” is a song by the band America and their first single.
America’s self-titled debut album was initially released in Europe with only moderate success and without the song “A Horse with No Name.” Looking for a song that would be popular in both the United States and Europe, producer Ian Samwell helped the group to record the song and persuaded the Warner Brothers label to re-release the album with “Horse …” included.
The song’s resemblance to Neil Young’s work stirred some grumbling as well. Incidentally, it was “A Horse With No Name” that bumped Young’s “Heart Of Gold” out of the #1 slot on the U.S. Pop chart. “I know that virtually everyone, on first hearing, assumed it was Neil,” Bunnell says. “I never fully shied away from the fact that I was inspired by him. I think it’s in the structure of the song as much as in the tone of his voice. It did hurt a little, because we got some pretty bad backlash. I’ve always attributed it more to people protecting their own heroes more than attacking me.”
