History: America's Greatest Hits is the first compilation album by American folk rock trio America, released by Warner Bros. Records in December 1975. The first seven tracks of the album, having been recorded prior to producer George Martin's involvement with the group, were remixed by Martin for this release. For example, Martin added a layer of fiddles to "Don't Cross The River." Additionally, on this album's version of "A Horse With No Name," a voice can briefly be heard about two minutes into the track.
