King of California (album)


King of California is an album by American artist Dave Alvin, released in 1994.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Mark Deming wrote of the album "While King of California was often lumped in with the then-fashionable unplugged craze, in retrospect it was the album where Dave Alvin's abilities as a performer began to catch up with his gifts as a songwriter, pointing the way for his later albums Blackjack David and Public Domain."
