Somewhere in California is the tenth studio album by American hard rock band Night Ranger, released on June 21, 2011. It is the first album since the departure of original guitarist Jeff Watson in 2007. The album introduces new guitarist Joel Hoekstra and keyboardist Eric Levy. Although the previous three releases are regarded as different and more experimental for Night Ranger, this album has been noted as somewhat of a return to the signature Night Ranger sound from the successful 1980s releases. The first single and video from the album is "Growin' Up in California".
A re-recorded extended version of the 1990 song "Coming of Age" by former supergroup Damn Yankees, featuring Jack Blades and Ted Nugent, is offered exclusively by Amazon.com's MP3 downloading service Amazon MP3. iTunes on the other hand, offers an exclusive download of a cover of AC/DC's hit song "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" along with the album.
