I was stationed in England at a base in East Anglia when America broke out..I was in a band, of course, and every musician on the base loved what America was doing..Now, 53 years later, I still do..and I like what you girls are doing too !!!!
This is by far my favorite America song. Yeah, it's light and sometimes careless, but the emotions spoke to the kaleidoscope of my life as a young man. The opening line is legendary. Kudos!
When a bunch of kids slay a cover written decades before they were born... that I remember vividly from middle school, I say, "THIS IS WHAT TH-cam IS FOR!"
Keep in mind people have been slaying covers of Bach and Motzart fir centuries. Their age, and the age of the song both mean little. Talent means a lot.
Music from the 60s and 70s gets better with time. The talent of the writing, musicianship and singing haven’t been repeated. The country was different then and it came through in the music
This is how all musical performance videos should be presented: Each performer on his and her own instrument, one camera, no smoke machines, digital effects, cutaways to the South of France, no chorus lines or dance troupes. The magic here is the immediacy and honesty of this performance. Great art - and the real thing, too.
From an old time rocker: the addition of mandolin, dobro and banjo to this classic is cool. RDC voice is perfect for this song. The bass man holds the line and per usual Toni on lead guitar doin' her thing. Well done people. This is fun I watch it over and over.
@@tinydancercindy Cindy, I took up guitar in my late 50's. Always wanted to learn an instrument. I was a writer by trade. 70 y/o now. Let me know how sweet those new strings sound, ok? mdogg1950@y**oo.com Best wishes always, Matt
@@tinydancercindy Hi Cindy, yeah get them strings. I'm 70 a bass rocker in my teens got a new bass and amp last summer. Me and old friend gettin on well. stay safe
Im a 60 year old retired, basically, rocker and it makes my heart happy to see the MUSIC RETURN, as you seem to be providing, keep on rockin, Bob, So. Ga.
Keep the seventies alive guy's this is therapy for us that can't move on from that era, because it was the best time for all genres of music, keep the faith, keep the old guys happy, thank you, enjoyed every minute.🎼🎸🏴
Bravo! Im a 57 yr old America fan and its wonderful to see the next generation is carrying the torch. Sometimes I fear that good music has been lost to the trend of flashy stage shows and skimpy clothing. Real talent doesnt need that stuff. And here is the proof.
Dudets you have a new fan! 33 year old girl here, I was looking up the chords to Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd and found you all! Now I’m hooked to your gorgeous song renditions. All the best and thank you for the music 🥰💕🌞 🎶💓🌙 Aw precious version of Sister Golden Hair 🌕🌙✨✨✨✨✨🌞🌞🌞🌞
Wow, suddenly I'm back in the seventies. This goes straight to the heart and it brings back many warm, but also wistful feelings. Thanks Reina and Toni, and friends too!
Great job I too am glad your generation appreciates this music and is keeping it alive in such a wonderful fashion the music influences basically every 3rd generation ,my first born a 90s child was so freaked out when she read a article about one of the popular bands of her high school years that I liked and when they were asked who their main influences in music had been they gave the names of mine and their parents era from the 60s and 70s ! Of course my daughter knew those artists from me she was also shocked that a couple of big hits were remakes of old songs
That resophonic and banjer, when they kick in together in the second verse, makes tears fall from my old eyes. This is probably the prettiest song I have ever heard and this young ensemble do it proud. Simply beautiful.
This is my favourite song by America. I can still recall the first time I heard, I couldn't believe a song could be so perfect. And you guys nail it. And it's a mini ballad about the sadness of a guy who tries but just can't make with his loved one.
Yep. Totally get it. Used to listen to American on Texas-toast sized 8-tracks. LOL. Just remember, "Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man, that he didn't already have.....".
Ladies, please remember you're on a railway track and a train might pass by any time and you may not have time to move away, pls find a saver place. BTW your rendition of the song is really good and bring back all memories of the good old days.
I love you guys. your all very good at singing and playing an instrument .But I am also proud of you all for playing these older songs, and bringing them back to life for people in your generation to hear . If you ever get a chance look up the song, When you smile.The whole world Smiles with you,
I seriously do not understand all the dislikes. All of you guys are absolutely amazing. I am so jealous of your talent. Keep on doing what you're doing.
I grew up on a beach,park,waterslides, n a famous club that had a lot of stars play there.i was kid n this song reminds of those good ole summer days back then no worries.
Oh my God… Hats off to you, Reina del Cid! Excellent job. It's really hard to overestimate your delightful cover of this marvelous song! I’m a 60 years old building engineer dwelling in a lot of thousand miles away from the place you live in and do what you do, but this song in your perfect perfomance made me remember one's youth... and someone's silly dreams of the Godblessed Land beyond the Ocean... called Northern America. That America which seemed then to be really great, honest, just, good to its people, powerful and everything like that... Now we may thank God for that everybody can see/hear you sing this song staying in a bit too far 2nd of September 2018 not knowing what the future does hold for us in a couple of years...
This takes me back to Saudi Arabia where I used to live and I listened to this on the company soft rock radio station all the time ... classic - great version! 😍
REINA DEL CID, I LOVE THE ARRANGEMENT TO AMERICA'S SISTER GOLDEN HAIR. YOUR VOICE IS VERY SWEET. CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOU AND FRIENDS. GOOD LUCK. GREETINGS FROM BRAZIL 🇧🇷🇧🇷❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
I grew up on this music. I’ve played in bands for years; picked up guitar in 1979 and been playing ever since. Glad to see younger generations playing the great classics. Check out Leonid & Friends, a Russian band that is the best Chicago cover band ever.
So many videos I see of "young" people doing old covers are totally studio-polished and over processed. This one is original, organic, genuine and great!
Wonderful song, I played It once and again tonight while driving through the land of the Cid. Great singer and musicians, pure talent with no need of any additive. Thanks guys and hope to see you one day in Spain!
It's nice to see the older classic songs being honored like this. I loved when this song came on the radio. Made me smile plus reminded me of the girl I was going out with at the time.
You have such a beautifully unique voice, I would instantly recognize it anywhere .... :) I love your entire band too, and the people you play with, your lead guitarist is especially awesome !!!

SSSSOOOOO much better than the so called BIG STARS of today!!!!

I was at RAF Lakenheath in 86-89. Loved living there. I lived in Feltwell. Good to hear you have some great memories.
Today's music can't compete. Everytime you go back to the basics, it never fails to satisfy.
This is by far my favorite America song. Yeah, it's light and sometimes careless, but the emotions spoke to the kaleidoscope of my life as a young man. The opening line is legendary. Kudos!
It does my heart good to hear and see younger musicians play these old 70s tunes like this and play them well.
D TheBassman because music like this is good
Me too my brother
100% agreed
I'm 55 old & I like America. From Morocco
@@marmautunally7993 I am a 60 year old American who has always admired the rich culture of your country. Music can bring us together.

It took me right back to college days. Those were the greatest days.

I think she could sing anything and keep my attention with that voice and style.
yep !
America would be so proud of your version of their classic song from the 70s. A superb version, played and sung with such feeling and genuine soul.
Agreed.
This gives me so much energie in these crazy days. I'm 62 and I can use it. Grtz from Belgium
I don’t usually listen to more than 2 or 3 songs at a time. I’ve now been listening to Reina Del Cid and Josh Lee Turner for 3 hours straight👍👍👍🇨🇦
I'm not the only one who has fallen down the Reina del Cid and Josh Turner rabbit hole! Saw a link in an NYT newsletter and...haven't come back. LOL
@@staciasnapp I'm just going in now but you never know, you guys may just need to seek help. :-)
They are so vicious.
Why wouldn’t you want to fall down that particular rabbit hole?
Ditto. Of course I found Reina through Josh's channel along with Reina, Toni ... The fun never ends
Loved that. I grew up in the 70's and it's still my favorite music to listen to.
I couldn't agree more. Embracing such classics, instead of the crap stuff that's around these days
From an old time rocker: the addition of mandolin, dobro and banjo to this classic is cool. RDC voice is perfect for this song. The bass man holds the line and per usual Toni on lead guitar doin' her thing. Well done people. This is fun I watch it over and over.
I'm 63, I was in a band back about that age playing this song. Oh the memories!
cindy, keep singing/playing! Music is love, and it is life.
@@mdogg1604 I guess I should put that set of new strings on my guitar. Couldn't hurt to try again.

One of the greatest songs of all times sang by one of these new young ones of our time ❤️🇺🇸
Awesome memories. R.I.P., Dan Peek.
Every time I now hear the original on the radio, the voice at the back of my head sings this version alongside. Love it!
Keep the seventies alive guy's this is therapy for us that can't move on from that era, because it was the best time for all genres of music, keep the faith, keep the old guys happy, thank you, enjoyed every minute.🎼🎸🏴
Right on the money guys. That's what its all about. Acoustic, pretty girl singing, what more do you want.
America is such a great band, and you did this song justice.
Bravo! Im a 57 yr old America fan and its wonderful to see the next generation is carrying the torch. Sometimes I fear that good music has been lost to the trend of flashy stage shows and skimpy clothing. Real talent doesnt need that stuff. And here is the proof.
One of my favorites and these young people did it justice.
All tears.
Man..... my very deep heart is touched listening young guys play this beautiful song from America. Don't stop guys, you're amazing!!
Thank you for being me back to my childhood. I loved this song.
Love this rendition of this America classic. Takes me back to uni years
Mandolin, Steel Guitar, and that Bass it just don’t get any better than this! Love it
Thanks for the walk down memory lane 👏👏👏👏
An oldie, but more than a goodie!! What a fantastic version of one of my all-time favorite songs by America 🧑🏻👩🏼🎼🎤🎸🪕🎸
It is always great to just hear and see music being played so well. No big show, no lights and fireworks, just pure talent.
Honor and Respect
I have been loving this song for the last 42 years. Thanks for performing this old -loving song.
I watch this often. The instruments and the vocals all blend together so wonderfully.
Great performance.. I am proud to see the young generation adopting the 70's music. Thank you.
It amazes me how there are people who give a "thumbs down" to young musicians this talented. Us "Boomers" are loving this stuff!
Wow! So this is what happens when a bunch of super talented people get together to jam. Great job, guys! I wish I had even a fraction of your skills!
So refreshing to hear music that doesn’t override the singer; but beautifully blends
This is how I like it. Wavy strands of harmony showering notes and strings into pure joy.
Once again, The Queen of the City knock the ball out of the park.
Dudets you have a new fan! 33 year old girl here, I was looking up the chords to Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd and found you all! Now I’m hooked to your gorgeous song renditions. All the best and thank you for the music 🥰💕🌞 🎶💓🌙 Aw precious version of Sister Golden Hair 🌕🌙✨✨✨✨✨🌞🌞🌞🌞
Goose bumps.
Their look is as clean as their music, keep it up, and sail far
Wonderful🎉🎉🎉🎉 All fine Musicians🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 One of my all time favorites by AMERICA! Loved your version of this great song❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Excellent . I'm a big "AMERICA" fan and that was so good.
me too; always will be
Still finding these older videos, love the covers from my younger days ! Great music that takes me back to my late teens ! Awesome job ! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Wow, suddenly I'm back in the seventies.
This goes straight to the heart
and it brings back many warm, but also wistful feelings.
Thanks Reina and Toni, and friends too!
they make me feel so good. bring back so many memories.
Ditto on the memories
@@musicdoc522 k
Well, kinda, but the experience of the 70´s is missing.
Right on, bro. Me, too.
Such talent, always worthy of a listen,no matter what she sings
I’ve come back to this for years. Here I am again, and I just want to applaud this talented bunch of kids. This is great!
I feel the same.. They're awesome
Great job I too am glad your generation appreciates this music and is keeping it alive in such a wonderful fashion the music influences basically every 3rd generation ,my first born a 90s child was so freaked out when she read a article about one of the popular bands of her high school years that I liked and when they were asked who their main influences in music had been they gave the names of mine and their parents era from the 60s and 70s ! Of course my daughter knew those artists from me she was also shocked that a couple of big hits were remakes of old songs
After listening to all the Reina del Cid cover videos, this is my favorite so far.
Now that's music from the heart.
This song works very will with this arrangement. The lap steel, mandolin, banjo and upright bass parts are particularly suitable
That resophonic and banjer, when they kick in together in the second verse, makes tears fall from my old eyes. This is probably the prettiest song I have ever heard and this young ensemble do it proud. Simply beautiful.
This is my favourite song by America. I can still recall the first time I heard, I couldn't believe a song could be so perfect. And you guys nail it. And it's a mini ballad about the sadness of a guy who tries but just can't make with his loved one.
That is my favorite America song too
@@Bream243 It's the type of song you wish had another verse, just so it would last a little longer.
Yep. Totally get it. Used to listen to American on Texas-toast sized 8-tracks. LOL. Just remember, "Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man, that he didn't already have.....".
Th
True love can happen again the voice of an angel and peace.
I always want Reina's voice to be just a little louder - it is so lovely.
Ladies, please remember you're on a railway track and a train might pass by any time and you may not have time to move away, pls find a saver place. BTW your rendition of the song is really good and bring back all memories of the good old days.
such skill on everything, the Uke, everything - all the guitars etc.
Even a banjo and BASS !!

There are 334 dislikes vs 12k likes. That’s not a bad ratio. A little over one idiot for every hundred normal folks is ok.
Hey babe nice singing and playing as well.....America is the best. Very cool stuff...tks for the video God bless you all.
This took me way back to a family road trip vacation in 1975 when I was ten. Man the music was so great back then. Thanks!
I grew up on a beach,park,waterslides, n a famous club that had a lot of stars play there.i was kid n this song reminds of those good ole summer days back then no worries.
Yes, so good to hear music like this from a younger generation. Best wishes.
"America " dans les "70's" ! Superbe !
This was my introduction to Reina del Cid, and I keep coming back to it. I love it so much!
You have good musical taste. A perennial favourite since 1975. America forever!
Nice to see youngsters playing some oldies song. Nice bringing some old memories
I heard the band America covered this song after hearing them sing it.
i am in tears right now. this is such a beautiful cover ❤️
Love Sunday talented and happy people

I can't put into words how I look forward to Sunday mornings with you and Toni. The guys in the band add a brand new sound.
I listened to this before the pandemic and now again, it is wonderful!!
my wife loves this song but it always makes me cry
This takes me back to Saudi Arabia where I used to live and I listened to this on the company soft rock radio station all the time ... classic - great version! 😍

Loved it! Old songs sung by great voices! Loved it!🤗🎶
Listening to this gives me a rush of emotions, because I was coming of age when this song came out. Best wishes from Stan in Wichita Kansas U.S.A.
Absolut fantastic, joyful and overwhelming. Thank you!
Again a number 1 for me...
greetings from good old Europe!
🥇
Reina always has such a sincerity in her voice. I love it. Also, when her mouth goes to the side... :)
Yes her mouth has a cut little twist when she sings or smiles!
I have listened this cover many many many times, and I keep loving them
Beautiful people who make beautiful music make the world a better place!
