This is the new 20th anniversary edition of one of Soul Jazz Records’ classic Studio One releases, now available as a one-off special blue vinyl limited-edition pressing (2000 copies worldwide).

"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..." --Mark Deming
Featuring an all-star lineup of collaborators- including Tego Calderón, Zion & Lennox, Ivy Queen, Nicky Jam, and Arcángel, among others- the album masterfully blends raw lyricism, irresistible rhythms, and electric chemistry.
