California Way

This is the debut solo acoustic recording from Tim Bluhm, the front man of the earthy pop jam band Mother Hips based in Northern California. For the past five years, Bluhm has lived in a '95 Chevy Sportsvan and has drifted up and down the Golden State, pitching his tent on a plot of California's imagination. With Mother Hips now on intermittent hiatus, Bluhm presents the most stripped-down (and pure) recordings of his career. Backed only by his guitar, he recorded this album in two days. Fog City label owner/Producer Dan Prothero, initially knowing little about Bluhm, was won over by the haunting collection of songs that he calls a "love-letter from and about a disappearing place." (This enhanced CD includes video footage filmed in studio, in concert and backstage).
