Free Music Notes for The Warmth of the Sun

Free Music Review: A "best of collection" of not so popular Beach Boys songs. Songs that deserved their own chance to be heard more often...
Hit: 5 Stars

...which this collection allows for that to happen.

It collects all the "not so often heard" songs in a format that spans a large historical chunk of the Beach Boys' recording career. This collection shows how the songs are different from each other and from the Beach Boys' greatest and most well-known & heard hits...

.....as well as how they are the same and/or interconnected to the creativity & beauty of so much Beach Boys music.

A whole lotta luv, harmony, and beauty on these tunes.

Hard core fans will remember them well enough and have a chance to have a wide range of these "second tier" songs all on one cd, and the casual fan will get a chance to become familiar with songs they may have not heard that much, if at all, and enable the casual fan to develope an appreciation and enjoyment of potential favorites, that will compliment the tried & tru Beach Boys hits.

I think the tunes on this collection are "hits" in their own right.

The cd has a great pace to it and all the songs are well-crafted gems. Considering the 2003 collection was practically chronological, this one has a few non-chronologically well-placed songs, that fit just perfect. It shows the band to have really never lost their commitment to producing music that is timeless, and not bound by fad or fashion.

I think this collection, more than any other, shows that the Beach Boys have finally been accepted for being the creative powerhouse they have always been...

...and yet, its taken the last 30 years for the rest of the critics & the listening public to catch up & understand the genius that is at play in the Beach Boys' output.

its great to see so many folks appreciating these more obscure tunes.

The thing is, the tunes have always been there, but its taken awhile for alot of us, especially me, to find them and grow to enjoy them.

Having this type of single disc retrospective enables that and is most welcome. Whereas less is sometimes more, more sometimes allows for discovery by many of us, especially those of us distracted by other groups' creative works that have been marketed so heavily over the years.

To have this collection, for me anyway, is a diamond hiding among so many other musical pop rock & soulful diamonds of other groups as well as the Beach Boys own big hits.

Enjoy for the 1st time or the 100th time. A very unique and enjoyable set.

Drink up and fill your cup. ;)

The Warmth of the Sun Poster

The Warmth Of The Sun, a new collection of 28 career-spanning tracks, hand-selected and sequenced by The Beach Boys themselves. The Warmth Of The Sun traces the iconic band's creative arc in a sun-up to sundown musical journey that goes beyond the beach, presenting a broad view of the rich musical legacy of America's band. The perfect complement and companion to Sounds Of Summer. This new collection delves deeper into The Beach Boys' musical legacy with hits like "Sail On, Sailor" "The Little Girl I Once Knew" and "Feel Flows." Within The Warmth Of The Sun's three decade-spanning tracklist, much of the Beach Boys' most accomplished work is featured. Compiled and sequenced by The Beach Boys' Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson, The Warmth Of The Sun showcases the broad scope of their recorded history. The journey takes us from the surf to the streets, and all with The Beach Boys' unparalleled trademark harmonies.
In a sense, The Warmth of the Sun is to 2004's double-platinum Sounds of Summer as 1975's Spirit of America was to the previous year's chart-topping Endless Summer. Both Summer compilations feature the obvious hits, and their followups collect less famous--though still worthy--tracks like "Hawaii," "409," and "Little Honda." But the 21st-century collections are sequenced by the Beach Boys themselves, and that means this volume's songs are second-tier in fame only. The casual fan whose curiosity was piqued by Sounds of Summer and picks this up for "All Summer Long" will be captivated by Brian Wilson's stops on the road to Pet Sounds ("Kiss Me Baby," "Please Let Me Wonder," "Let Him Run Wild," "The Little Girl I Once Knew"), moved by the father-son collaboration "Break Away" (in many ways the Beach Boys' farewell to the '60s), and floored by a string of five songs from the early '70s--a few of which had their genesis in the ill-fated Smile project--that are a perfect showcase for the maturity the group, especially Brian and Carl, managed to attain less than a decade after penning "Pom Pom Play Girl" ("Surf's Up," "Feel Flows," "All This Is That," "'Til I Die," "Sail On, Sailor"). Taken together, these two volumes provide an extraordinary portrait of a band attempting to straddle popularity and artistic vision, spotlighting each facet just long enough to make you want more. (Collectors note: many of these songs appear in new stereo remixes--they may not be the original Brian Wilson productions as he heard them, but being able to distinctly make out the vibraphone in "Let Him Run Wild" is worth it.) --Benjamin Lukoff
