With a home studio and top notch players, Steve Soto made two "California country" records in the last few years, which might not sound that interesting if Soto were not also one of the most well-known punk rock musicians in Southern California for the last 2 decades. Before Nick13 of Tiger Army decided to make a roots record, Steve Soto was already working on his third one. One of the most appealing elements of these two albums is that they are fun--perfect for driving around with your windows down and singing out loud.
