Once again, Brian Wilson comes back, with a new CD "That Lucky Old Sun". A strange CD, some parts pretty good, but he put in these 40 second narratives between songs that are so cloyingly nostalgic..."...it's 1962 again, hot rods, the beach, babes...". It's well produced with an excellent band and vocal accompaniment.
This CD has some songs that remind you of the Pet Sounds/Smile era and some amazingly fine vocal harmonies, but it's also hard to listen to because it feels like it might be his last utterance and it just wallows in the distant past. In the last song where he sings about wishing he could sing one more with his brothers, it's quite sad. I don't know what to make of it but the songs keep rattling through my head, so I guess it's worth something.
