I knew that this batch of songs, even the choice of the album s title, was going to be about my journey, says Gerry Beckley, who finds himself embracing his past personally, professionally and creatively nearly as much as he looks to the future. But for the singer/songwriter/performer best known for his 49-year career as co-founder of the legendary band America and whose acclaimed collaborations have also ranged from Carl Wilson and Dan Fogelberg to David Cassidy and John Waters the journey still shimmers with a melodic melancholy that makes his music as familiar as it is iconic. And as America prepares to celebrate its half-century anniversary, Beckley brings his own journey home on his new Blue Élan Records release, "Five Mile Road."
