“I Am California” by John Craigie

John Craigie adds his personal touch to this special song. He does this by transforming the instrumentation and making it more gentle while delivering vocals that match Gregory’s in a very effortless way. 

I really loved this version of “I am California”. This is already such a beautiful song but this version slows it down in a way that helps the listener really take inventory of what they are hearing. 

The entire arrangement holds a special confidence and gives many moments of reflection for the audience to understand the beautiful storytelling of what this song is really about. The harmonica at the end is the most special touch.
