DESCRIPTION:
"CALIFORNIA" is a beautiful ballad Bobby Syvarth wrote of his experiences of his time away from family and friends, during the recording of his cd "Hellos and Goodbyes". This song was never recorded, but when Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth heard it, he knew it had to be recorded. "I'm very excited about CALIFORNIA! I got to produce my good friend, Bobby Syvarth for the first time after working with him for years and use some of "the best of the best" musicians from the incredible Delaware Water Gap jazz scene. It was like having my own "wrecking crew" and the recording has the spirit of some of the great albums they worked on like Pet Sounds and artists like Harry Nillsson. Directing the video was such a great learning experience and a natural extension of producing the track. One of my favorite things I've done in years!"- says Tim Carbone.
