Joey Ryan sings "California" live in studio... Filmed and Edited by Chris Mortimer Sound by Billy Hawn, Drumperc Studio Check out Joey at www.myspace.com/joeyryanband
I agree w/ Violet..this song is perfection! I listen to this when I need to remember how lucky we are to live in CA!! Cali is the place for me!! Thanks Joey!!
My first trip I ever took alone was to California- holds a very special place in my heart. I miss her, and the entire west coast. Love love love this song.
Wow! If California didn't exist it would have to be created just to live up to the lyrics of this song. On the downside, this'll just make more people want to move here...
You put your heart into this song. I'm from the valley & this song hit me like no other... Also heard your work on one of my favorite movies "Bella." I'm a fan & been following your work. hope to see one of your gigs soon. GOOD LUCK. : )
Yeah I have been working on it trying to get it right. I had to sit and mess with it for a while to figure out where to capo it. I dont have the plucking down just like him but it sounds pretty damn good. Now I just have to remember all the words. Im not even from california but the first time i heard this i fell in love with it. It still gives me goose bumps when i hear it. Glad I could help
I know a few PhD's - they can be very laid-back folks. Away from the major freeway corridors you will find such beauty and personality. Every city probably has bad areas, but also sweet neighborhoods - even cities with the worst reputations like Oakland and Richmond in the Bay Area. What hurts culture here is the car-oriented isolation and sprawl of suburbia, where you have to get in your car and drive to the park or the store; and the endless strip malls and parking lots.
Nice song... to be truthful I was looking up videos of my friend by the name of Joey Ryan. You might have noticed the videos of a pro wrestler by the same name - that's him. lol In any event, I took a listen to some of the stuff on your myspace page. I'm not particularly interested in folk music, but I thoroughly enjoyed what I heard. Best of luck to you. ~Evan
does anyone know where I can buy this song? or somehow download it? I heard it on XM coffee shop and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. :) thanks!
I love this fuckin song. Im gonna try to catch you in Birmingham, Joey, even though it will be my birthday. im in auburn, alabama for school and i see that you;re on tour for real, this song is fantastic
"and the police at the port of entry say: you're number 14,000 for today cause if you ain't got that doo rei me boys, you ain't got that doo rei me you better stay way from beautiful texas, georgia, alabama, tenneesee california is a garden of eden, a paradise to live in or see but believe it or not you won't think its so hot, if you ain't got that doo rei me." woody guthrie
Daniel legg says California is not the place for him, he says home is where you make it. let's not pretend this life is temporary Joey and those who like this particular diddy
Listen to this 4 years ago and I was as awesome then as it is now and when I first heard it 17 years ago! God bless
Whenever I am homesick I listen to this...it hurts and helps. I miss California. But I will be back. California raised me.
Beautiful Joey. I’m a native Californian. Wonderful lyrics and sound. Thanks for posting. Glad this popped up in my recommendations.

What a captivating song. And the boy singing is as beautiful as both the song and its delivery.
This song is still amazing as it was 10 years ago when I listened to it!!! God bless
LOVE this song. I can't stop listening to it. I am working on a photo project of california and I think I will make a slideshow to this song
I heard this song on XM Coffee Shop ( Chn. 51 ) the other day, I fell in love with it right then on the spot. What a great song.
This song is so special.
Wow! If California didn't exist it would have to be created just to live up to the lyrics of this song.
On the downside, this'll just make more people want to move here...
and just like that I'm in love.
I am happy everytime I listen to this version....xoxoxoxo Joey
"just like the giving tree, you've made a man of me"
Saw him in Boston 2 nights ago. It was awesome. Played this new song "Permanent" it was great.
This voice has been perfected since the progress of later years with Milk Carton Kids, now defining a very unique style.
This gave me goosebumps! Great song, great delivery!
Greg West of Billy Boy On Poison brought me here.Thank you Greg! Ryan, you're amazing.

So nurse me like a mother
Raise me strong just like my father
Let me wander off, discover who I am

How does this only have 56,169 views?
I've never been but plan on doing so next summer and the whole beach party sing around the camp fire vibe is what I imagine, probably wrong though.
We say joey in gateshead about 10 years ago and we bought a signed album from him, such a talented guy. Shame we haven't seen him since
