Pbs Craft in America Holiday (2013)

With Breakfast in America, Supertramp had a genuine blockbuster hit, topping the charts for four weeks in the U.S. and selling millions of copies worldwide; by the 1990s, the album had sold over 18 million units across the world…

Art in America begins as delicate, somewhat elegant album with a pleasing mix of harp, guitar and keyboard that slowly changes to a more arena rock sound with progressive touches that make the band sounds like Asia meets Breathe. A pretty and slightly mystic album with hints of album rock and pop, Art in America was overlooked upon its release.

Founded in Detroit, USA in 1980, Art In America, is back with a new album "Cloudborn".
The listener's travels begin with “A Tale Of The Unexpected”, an opening blend of current news clips all accented with the sweeping chords of an original Mellotron. Chris Flynn reminisces about the early years of innocence and the joy of childhood in Ohio in an eight minute masterpiece “When We Were Young.” The piece opens and concludes with two sections borrowed from two George Butterworth classical music works “A Shropshire Lad” and “The Banks Of Green Willow.” The album ends with the powerful arena rock trilogy “Goodbye My Love,” “Mind's Eye” and “Peace Of Mind.”
The opening six songs feature guest artist and bassist Tony Levin. Prog lovers everywhere will appreciate the intricate progressive landscapes, as well as the lovely ballads from guitarist Chris Flynn.
