Brian Wilson - That Lucky Old Sun


Brian Wilson hasn't really done much impact on the music industry since the masterpiece "Smile". His turbulent life has never really translated into his music. Maybe that is for the best. His style is laid back and not too serious. His life is definably serious.

But with his most recent release "That Lucky Old Sun" it touches his life in bits and pieces. An example is "Live Let Live/ That Lucky Old Sun (Reprise)". But that does not stop him from making nostalgic music with layered vocals to make any Beach Boys fan sing along.

For what its worth this is the strongest Brian Wilson solo album in a long time (besides Smile)...

Rating: 69/100 (It enjoyable and the results are great.)
