It&#8217;s a welcome return for us from Anderson, who last appeared on our pages in February last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;California Dreamin'&#8221; also features Johnny Irion on guitar, who additionally produced her upcoming album, &#8216;Spend A Little Time&#8217;, along with G Winnard on drums, percussion, and vocals, David Lehr on bass, Pete Adams on pedal steel, Simon Guthrie on keys, and Katherine Winston on vocals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the music video for &#8220;California Dreamin'&#8221;
