Songs about California

Did you read the OP?

Woody Guthrie’s “Do Re Mi” has been mentioned; but I like Ry Cooder’s version–including Flaco Jimenez …

Robin Williamson (once of the Incredible String Band), wrote “Pacheco” about a California visit.

Sorry, forgot about it. Still, I wanted to post a link to the song on YouTube.

Serves me right for not looking that one up. I had always thought it was Wolf’s. It is a great song.

Dory Previn: “Coldwater Canyon”

Love: “Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale” (Streets in greater Los Angeles. Between Clark and Hilldale is the block on Sunset Boulevard where the Whisky a Go Go was (is?) located.)

John Mayall: “Walking on Sunset”. (Another reference to Sunset Boulevard.)

Robert Plant: “29 Palms”.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned L.A. Woman by the Doors.
