‘California Gold’ by Ryan Calkins is indie folk that gifts a charge of sunny mood. The first picture that floats up in your head when you listen to ‘California Gold’: the sun blinds, a light breeze ruffles your hair, and in the soul there is calm and tranquility. The key element in the track became the acoustic guitar, it is the main hero here. Perhaps, thanks to this, such a cozy feeling remains.

Nostalgia, Sunshine, Freedom

-PurpleMistress

At some point a harmonica joins the guitar, creating a light country sound. At the moment of its appearance, a light feeling of pleasant nostalgia arises, and a sense of life’s movement and the significance of all events within it emerges. I like that ‘California Gold’ sounds so harmoniously and wholly, with all its components complementing each other, that you want to put it on repeat. Absolutely recommend!
