Background notes
Archive material and source history
Yesterdays Hero was a band led by singer-songwriter Bill Woodward, a Vietnam veteran who brought his experiences into the music. They formed somewhere in the Midwest, though the exact city isn't clear from what we have. Their self-titled debut album came out in 1977, featuring the track "America" that Woodward wrote with heartfelt lyrics and a soaring melody.
That song "America" connected with listeners and climbed the charts in 1977, becoming something of an anthem. The band followed with three more albums: "Imagine" in 1978, "The Human Touch" in 1980, and "The American Dream" in 1982. Other songs in their catalog include "Corruption," "Faces," "Fake," and "Falling Down."
The lineup included Steve Park on guitar, Ian Brewester on bass, Jim Kennedy on keyboards, and Paul Friess on drums alongside Woodward's vocals and guitar.
