Encyclopedia
"California Waiting" is the fourth single taken from the Youth and Young Manhood
album by the American
rock band Kings of Leon
. An alternate version of the song appears on their debut release, the EP
Holy Roller Novocaine. This version was recorded in a rush to finish the record. The band didn't like the outcome, so they recorded a new version, which is found on Youth and Young Manhood. However, on Kings of Leon's VH1 Storytellers
performance, Caleb Followill stated before playing California Waiting that "We kind of sabotaged it on our album, and tried to play it really punk rock. It was better on the EP I think."
