California On My Mind

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed Stereo/Mono promo copy, in its original factory sleeve. Morning Mist apparently were one of several incarnations of Terry Cashman and Tommy West (aka Buchanan Bros.). Here, the deliver a gorgeous sunshine pop anthem that really should have gotten some airplay. Maybe programmers were scared away by the title, which looks a lot like an early James Taylor tune about Carolina... Incidentally, it's quite likely that Gene Pistilli is among the voices on this track, since he was also in the Buchanan Bros. and would soon be part of the group's name when they switched to using "Cashman, Pistilli & West".
