Hourglass (America album)

Two singles were released from the album, "Young Moon" and "Hope", but did not chart in the U.S.

The recording of "You Can Do Magic" included here is not the hit version but a re-recording that is very similar.

Actor/musician Bill Mumy contributed to this album, co-writing "Sleeper Train" and "Greenhouse" and providing additional guitar work.

AllMusic asserted that the album "sounds both familiar and fresh" and that the songs are uniformly excellent, a surprise for a band as old as America.

The opening track "Young Moon" "is as good as any of the group's hits.
