Product Description
From Amazon.com
This particular California Girl originally hails from Jersey City, a fact that only underscores the mythic nature of the Golden State. And make no mistake: this is something of a kitsch record, even if it doesn't quite match the scale of Sebastian Cabot Sings Dylan. A musical tie-in with Disney's California Adventure park, this theme album fairly seamlessly melds previous Cali-related tracks from the Nancy Sinatra canon with newly recorded versions of Bobby Troup's "Route 66," Bachrach's "Do You Know the Way to San Jose," Chicago's "Saturday in the Park," and even a duet with Brian Wilson on his evergreen "California Girls." If Nancy's voice has never quite benefited from the family gene pool lottery, it's developed a bit of jazzy brass and character over the years, a factor that helps recast even a melodramatic chestnut like the Mamas and Papas' "California Dreamin'" into a bluesy, world-weary lament. Guest stars like Blondie drummer Clem Burke and former Guns 'n' Roses ax-slinger Gilby Clark attempt to give the project some rock credibility, but Sinatra's take on Roy Wood's Move classic, "California Man" (inspired more by Cheap Trick's searing cover versions), and a William Shatner-worthy version of "Hotel California" only recall the Chairman's own disastrous flirtations with the medium; perhaps it's something in the genes. But when she sticks to more pop- and jazz-tinged material, Sinatra shows she can definitely sell a song. --Jerry McCulley
