We are heading West with this 45 from the Sweet Souls recorded in Hollywood, CA. If this 45 doesn’t make you feel California beach vibes, I don’t know what does. The A side, “Your Baby”, is clearly influenced by the surfer rock era and will likely remind you of The Beach Boys. This is the perfect 45 for a relaxing sunny day.
