“Goin’ To California” is a 2012 single from the album Highways, Ghosts, Hearts and Home by folk-pop singer-songwriter Susan James from Orange County, California. A song which musically expresses the desire of an ex-Californian to return home and be with old friends, “Goin’ To California” is a sun-seeking anthem with a hippie folk flavor for those aching to escape a cold, grey existence for some California freedom. Susan James entered the ranks of California recording artists in the 1990s after being discovered by Apple Computer co-founder and Steve Jobs business partner Steve Wozniak while performing in a San Francisco Bay Area coffee house.
