Justin V Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) I was happy to score a CD reissue of this a couple of years ago. It's a shame that Sam Dockery dropped out of the national scene, because he didn't wilt when playing with Blakey or Haynes. I need to find my physical copy to see if the liner notes say whether this was a working band. Edited August 7, 2018 by Justin V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duaneiac Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) I've been listening to this disc over and over in the car for the past few days -- It had been a long time since I last listened to this, and I forgot just how good it is. Brian Wilson can still make pop music do things that most other songwriters no longer attempt -- making music which is both catchy and complex, breezily enjoyable yet also occasionally unusually intimate, music which simultaneously brings forth a smile and some tears. These are songs which could only have come from Brian Wilson. Any other songwriter could come up with a ditty about their first love; Brian Wilson writes about that subject in "Forever She'll Be My Surfer Girl" and there's a whole lot of history there ("Summer, '61 / A goddess became my song"), both for him and us. The lines that always get to me are : "I had this dream / Singing with my brothers / In harmony, supporting each other". Whether he's talking about a dream from 1958 or 2008, we all know how that dream turned out and it's a relief to hear him sing "Oh, it's magical / I'm glad it happened to me / Fell asleep in the band room / Woke up in history". This is really happy, enjoyable and contented music from the perspective of a man whose life had for so long been none of those things. Special in so many ways!

Brad Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 This is a somewhat maddening release as Solar seems to cut off some of the songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Emily Remler. Never heard of her before but like the sound. Sadly, she died very young. From what I read, her heroin addiction contributed to her death at the age of 32 of heart failure. Edited August 7, 2018 by Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just doing some reading about her and it sounds like she was becoming a pre-eminent musician when she died; she had wowed people like Herb Ellis.
