California Years is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Jill Sobule,[1] released on April 14, 2009, on Sobule's own label, Pinko Records.

The album was produced by Don Was and financed completely by fan donations to Sobule's website jillsnextrecord.com.

[2] All songs written by Robin Eaton and Jill Sobule except where noted.

Three tracks recorded for prospective inclusion on California Years did not make the final cut: "Mom", "The Rapture" and "Gotta Get Me Some" (the latter track, like "Empty Glass", originally written for the musical Prozak and the Platypus).
