August 28, 2008: To be frank, nobody expects somebody who's voice sounds like groundskeeper carl from &quot caddyshack&quot to create a masterpiece. But it seems Brian may have done just that. Or at least had come close to doing so. Of his catalog, he is not what you call stellar. At least not on his own. By the time he released his first solo album in 1988 he had been pretty fried and almost fizzled out. So his solo material hasn't been very strong. However, after...

Japanese vinyl releases are premium quality pressings, much sought after by audiophiles and collectors alike. In the 1960s Toshiba pioneered top quality red vinyl pressings using their trademark ‘Ever-Clean’ process this utilised a special ingredient intended to prevent the build-up of static electricity on the vinyl. Japanese pressings are synonymous with quality - the vinyl shines like no other vinyl - everything about their releases feels special. When US audiophile label Mobile Fidelity...

"[Wilson's] most ambitious new work since returning from the wilderness, [recalling] 'Pet Sounds' and 'Smile,' not least in its playfully baroque arrangements - a playground riot of glockenspiel, timpani, strings and harmonies all played with a smile - and melodic nods to the Beach Boy canon, complementing the autobiographical bent of the lyric-book." - England's Mojo magazine

"A series of compact tunes and spoken reveries written by Wilson with Scott Bennett and original Smile lyricist Van Dyke Parks, That Lucky Old Sun is blatantly nostalgic in its pre-acid California dreaming (the title cover was a 1949 hit for Frankie Laine) and echoes of Wilson`s early less-troubled bloom: the surf-side doo-wop of "Good Kind of Love," the deep saxes and vibraphone in "Forever She`ll Be My Surfer Girl." His voice is drowsy and uneven in the narratives, but he sings with a reborn will...

A musical love letter from Southern California, That Lucky Old Sun continues the awe-inspiring concept album journey that Brian Wilson first began with The Beach Boys’ 1966 classic, Pet Sounds and has continued to evolve during his solo career, highlighted by his 2004 critically-acclaimed Brian Wilson Presents Smile. The four transitional narratives, co-written with Van Dyke Parks and spoken by Wilson, offer cameos on life and the heartbeat of Los Angeles which propels the album’s musical story.

That Lucky Old Sun , Brian Wilson 's second major thematic work, isn't quite the third coming of SMiLE . Instead, it's an ode to the Southern California of the '50s and '60s that the Beach Boys constantly evoked, and although it's polished with the peak-era production style that Wilson made famous, most of the songs are wrapped around the overwrought pop/rock he's revisited again and again since his first major return to form, back in 1976. As a thematic topic, 'That Lucky Old Sun' is ripe for integration...

Some artists write their memoirs as a way of leaving their life stories for other generations. Wilson though has chosen to do it with the best tool he has at his disposal: his music. This new album is a biographical sketch of his life and times from those summer days and summer nights of a lifetime ago to the world weary protagonist of “Sail On Sailor.” To find his muse he returned to the original Capitol studios where he first recorded in 1962. It’s a swirling love letter to another time and place...
