Ok kids, so six weeks from tomorrow I’m heading back west. And just like my Holiday NYC CD, I’d like to put together another one for my journalism buddies, this one with California flavor. So, I’m soliciting California-themed tunes.
Here’s what I’ve come up with so far, in this (tentative) order:
Bad Religion – Los Angeles is Burning
Tony Bennett – I Left My Heart in San Francisco
Mamas and the Papas – California Dreamin’
The Decemberists – Los Angeles, I’m Yours
Chris Isaak – San Francisco Days
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Californication
Arlo Guthrie – Coming Into Los Angeles
Mamas and the Papas – If You Go To San Francisco
Tupac (with Dr. Dre) – California Love
Everclear – Santa Monica
Too Short – Oakland
Led Zepplin – Going to California
Frank Black – Los Angeles
Willie Nelson – Mendocino County Line
Gypsy Kings – Hotel California
Suggestions?
