MI VIDA (letra: Alejandro Caja) Qué gran estupidez tener solo una vida y haber de dedicarla, qué brutal prosaismo, a ganarse el sustento, y con pena de uno mismo, tener que malgastarla currando cada día El tiempo se me acaba, me van cayendo palos, y me sigue humillando como un dueño el destino, que me obliga a cambiar, en precario y mezquino mi único tesoro por unos cromos malos Y pese a la modestia de mis necesidades, techo, calor, papeo, ratos para leer, un disco y unas birras en buena compañía Librarme no consigo de las penalidades: las botas que me pisan, los pagos y el tener que ver así cumplida mi vida, sin ser mía

about

Un cruce de carreteras fuera de los mapas. Dos amigos en una caravana. Olor a gasolina, un motor cansado. Un par de estuches de guitarra en el maletero.
–¡Grabando!

A crossroads in the middle of nowhere. Two friends in a van. Gasoline smell, a tired engine. A couple of guitar cases in the trunk of the car.
–Recording!

California Calls Me es el segundo álbum de Ricky & JP, dúo acústico formado por:
Ricky Araiza, multiinstrumentista, cantante, y una auténtica leyenda en el ambiente musical jazz-country-folk de Barcelona. Originario de San Diego, sus raíces se remontan a la escena musical del folk, rock, country de los años 60/70 en California como músico de sesión e integrante de diferentes bandas e infinitas colaboraciones (Oh Ridge!, New Christy Minstrels... ).
Juan Pablo Caja, guitarrista y colaborador habitual de Ricky Araiza en los útlimos años.
