Synopsis

Product Description
Over five albums and a decade of recording, Jill Sobule has mused on topics
such as the death penalty, anorexia, shoplifting, reproduction, the French
resistance movement, adolescence and the Christian right. Early hit songs
included I Kissed a Girl and Supermodel.

Jill inducted Neil Diamond into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame. She's
performed with Neil Young, Billy Bragg and Warren Zevon and has been a
political troubadour for NPR stations across America. She's an American
original.
California Years, the first release on her own Pinko Records, was produced
by Don Was . The recording, promotion and publicity for the record was
funded entirely by donations from her loyal fans. $86K and counting!

"Jill Sobule can claim her place among the stellar New York
singer-songwriters of the last decade. Topical, funny and more than a little
poignant ...grown-up music for an adolescent age."
- Jon Pareles, New York Times

"Vocally gifted and lyrically witty ... a peerless satirist."
- People Magazine

"A feisty post-punk feminist whose work brings to mind a cross between Liz Phair and Gertrude Stein."
- The New Yorker

"Songwriting skills that transcend her one-novelty-hit wonder status."
- Village Voice

"A deft ironist. She is smart and original, a treasure undervalued by
inevitable association with countless lessers who also happen to be singing
about going to the laundromat in Brooklyn."
- The New Republic

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've just finished my second listen...(on my third as I type) After eagerly waiting for this record for so long... absolutely not disappointed! I'm not surprised, I Love everything Jill Sobule does, she's such a special talent.



Funded by loving fans, Jill Sobule returned the Love with this wonderful album. It's all things at once... familiar, fresh, intimate, catchy. As usual there is wonderful storytelling and smart, clever, gifted songwriting.



If your already a fan you know how special she is and this is a wonderful addition to her catalog. If your new to Jill's music do yourself a favor and check her out, she's a very unique voice and is everything that the music industry should be. She's an original Artist with talent & integrity!"
