The "south coast" of this song is Big Sur, California. Lillian Bos Ross, a resident of Big Sur from the 1920s-1950s, co-wrote the lyrics. Jolon is a town in the Salinas Valley, on the other side of the Santa Lucia mountains from Big Sur. Thanks for posting this song.
My God! The Hungry I album was the first record I played when i was about 4 yrs. old and could barely reach the turntable.

I did not know this was about Monterey County until I went to the fabulous Al Jardine concert. I've been through Jolon alone many times!

Great song, but so sad! This sounds just like the version I remember from my parents' "From the Hungry I" record.
