Hourglass is the thirteenth original studio album by American folk rock duo America, released by American Gramaphone in 1994 (see 1994 in music). This was America's first new studio album since 1984's "Perspective". Two singles were released from the album, "Young Moon" and "Hope" but neither charted in the US, thought they did receive some airplay in Europe. The song "Hope" became a theme song for the TJ Martell Foundation and was recorded by a group of country music stars in a fundraising effort for the Foundation. The recording of "You Can Do Magic" included here is not the hit version but a re-recording that is very similar.
