Question

cover of california dreaming

bit random but I was hoping somebody knew a recent US movie soudtrack with a bluesy cover of California Dreaming - female singer and acoustic guitar, sounded almost like Janis Joplin. Could've been a road movie or something similar...

Anyway, not expecting to much in responses but its doing my head in as I forgot the movie and the singer.

I haven't a clue about the movie but, as a wild guess, could the singer have been Nancy Sinatra?

A recent CD called California Girl features her take on this 60's song, much slower than the original, a touch "bluesy" with guitar (& washboard) though it becomes more orchestral in the second half. I can't recall JJ's voice thus cannot compare, but this NS recording is a little deeper than her pop hits of that decade.

I hope the next contributor has a better offer ...

I know the answer. First of all the movie is called: Nailed. Second the singer is the wonderful, amazing, great, fantastic, unbelievable Beth Hart. You can check her out at her official website www.bethhart.com. You can also find some additional info on her fansite www.monkeyback.com. She got a new album (her 3e) out this year and it's great.

She's one of the best singers ever!
