 Regular Price: California Years was written over the last three years, following my move to the West Coast. It was influenced by the sights and sounds of the Golden State, especially the seductive, but not always sunny Los Angeles. Maybe the next record will be "The Utah Month" or "Back to Brooklyn." The whole thing was made possible by a small but mighty fan base. They gave me the love, encouragement and the dough to do this. I was truly surprised and so very grateful. This record is for them.
Critical Praise for California Years! "Sobule has a blade in one hand and flowers in the other... California Years finds the Denver-born, transplanted New Yorker celebrating her adopted West Coast with typical wit, grace, irony, sweetness, and satire." – All Music Guide "Like her musical peers Randy Newman and Harry Nilsson, Sobule delves into the pervasive sadness of living with a sense of humor that makes it all okay, even magnetic… she is a highly literate champion of the absurd." – PopMatters "California Years is flirtatiously retro pop rock, full of mordant punch lines delivered cold… [Sobule is] older, but so much wiser." – Rolling Stone "California Years is a triumphant success not only for Jill, but for the future of independent music." – Uncommon Music |
