Album Notes

In early July of 2006, former King Harvest founding members John McGaraghan (See also Oversoul, Grow at http://cdbaby.com/cd/oversoulmusic) and Lee Simpson took a short break from busy solo careers to get together for a relaxing week in Chico. The summer heat, the cool river water, and the energy of the road ended up mixing well with some good old fashioned picking and singing. Within a few days, they wrote several songs together, and re-arranged some classic numbers out of both of their back catalogs. Before they knew it there was an album in the works! With a bunch of mics up in the room, two voices, and a rack full of guitars, "Summertime In California" is a stripped down, honest, and unadulturated chronicle of a few days in the studio.
