As a young musician, Bunnell was inspired by the Beatles and the Beach Boys.[4] While attending London Central High School in England he met Gerry Beckley and Dan Peek. After an initial attempt at forming a band in the late 1960s, the trio formed America in 1969 and released their first album in 1971.[5] As with the other members, Bunnell wrote, sang and played guitar. His best-known compositions include "A Horse with No Name", "Ventura Highway", and "Tin Man". Bunnell has explained that "A Horse with No Name" was "a metaphor for a vehicle to get away from life's confusion into a quiet, peaceful place", while "Sandman" was inspired by his casual talks with returning Vietnam veterans. Afraid that they might be attacked and killed in their sleep, many of them chose to stay awake as long as possible, either naturally or with pharmaceuticals. Thus, they were "running from the Sandman."[6] In 1973 he moved to Marin County, California, with his then-wife, Vivien. They had two children, Dylan and Lauren. The two divorced in 1999 and he married Penny in 2002.[5] He then legally adopted Penny's daughter, Destry. The couple splits their time between homes in Palos Verdes and northern Wisconsin, where Penny is originally from.[7][8] Bunnell is still a member of America, along with the other founding member, Gerry Beckley. America has made more than 20 albums of original material, along with a number of hits compilations, between the 1960s and the present. In 2002 the band released a holiday album entitled, Holiday Harmony. America's album Back Pages was released on 26 July 2011. The group was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in February 2012. America's most recent album, Lost & Found, was officially released May 5, 2015, containing unreleased tracks recorded between 2002 and 2010.[9] References1. ^http://www.accessbackstage.com/america/jpg/guys1969.jpg 2. ^1 {{citation |title=Rock Stars Encyclopedia |author=Rees, Dafydd |author2=Luke Crampton |last-author-amp=yes |publisher=DK Publishing |year=1999 |isbn=978-0-7894-4613-8 |page=32 }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:aifexqw5ldae~T1|title=Biography: America|last=Erlewine|first=Stephen Thomas|publisher=AMG|accessdate=7 May 2010}} 4. ^{{cite web|last=Rodriguez|first=Isaac|title=Ten Questions with Dewey Bunnell – Founding Member of the Band America|url=http://www.realrocknews.com/ten-questions-dewey-bunnell-founding-member-band-america/|work=realrocknews.com|accessdate=23 February 2014}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite news |author= |title=America's Dewey Bunnell reflects on star-spangled career |url=http://www.marinij.com/marinnews/ci_9747565 |newspaper=Marin Independent Journal |date=30 June 2008 |accessdate= 10 October 2012 }} 6. ^{{cite news|last=Ruggiero|first=Bob|title=America Will Never Reveal the Name of That Stubborn "Horse"|url=http://blogs.houstonpress.com/rocks/2013/08/america_will_never_reveal_the.php?ref=trending|accessdate=23 February 2014|newspaper=Houston Press|date=7 August 2013}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.marinij.com/marinnews/ci_9747565|title=America's Dewey Bunnell reflects on star-spangled career|work=MarinIJ.com|accessdate=17 January 2015}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.accessbackstage.com/america/dewey430.htm|title=America Fans Miscellaneous Information Archive: Kelly Lange Interviewing Dewey Bunnell|publisher=accessbackstage.com|accessdate=23 April 2017}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Found-America/dp/B00WY8IS00|title=America Lost & Found}} External links
