Background notes
Archive material and source history
Anthony Russo wrote 'California' in 1971, a song that became an instant classic with its poignant melody and lyrics about the promise and disillusionment of the Golden State. He was born in Venice Beach and started as a street performer, influenced by Bob Dylan and Joan Baez.
He released albums like 'River Road' in 1973 and 'Heart of Gold' in 1975, exploring themes of love, loss, and California's culture. Other songs include 'Ghost Stories' and 'Keep It Simple'.
His outspoken nature and unconventional lifestyle sometimes landed him in hot water, with accusations of drug use and lyrics deemed too subversive for mainstream radio. He remained defiant, using his music to challenge societal norms.
