"California Line" Chaparral

"California Line" is a 2011 song from the album California Line by the country rock band Chaparral from Visalia, California.

Composed by songwriter Joseph Costa, "California Line" is a country song about California that appeals to country fans and pop fans alike. Additionally, it's a song that's emotionally authentic.

While there are many songs about California from around the world, things just feel more real when performed by a group of Californians who have sweated onstage in front of countless Central Valley audiences like Chaparral has.

The favorite band of California's Heartland, Chaparral has a commercial hit that gets stuck in your head with "California Line".

With conviction, lead singer Martina Otterbeck lyrically portrays the feelings of one who makes the journey from a burned-out past to a second chance and a new beginning in California.

"California Line" is a song that stands on its own merit.  Sure, the studio-produced single totally rocks, and Chaparral's major onstage productions enhance the song, but does it stand up in a simple 'unplugged' performance?

A great single is one that sounds good and carries its message strongly with minimal production.  This song does just that.  Watch the following impromptu video and hear for yourself.

"California Line" by Chaparral makes the list as one of the best songs about California ever.
