Free Music Notes for Brian Wilson
Free Music Review: Is "Rio Grande" a tribute to "River Song"??
Hit: 4 Stars
Great solo album by Brain Wilson that just so happened to be released the same year his band the Beach Boys got their first number one hit since "Good Vibrations" with "Kokomo".I'm not sure which came out first,but maybe the success of Kokomo was what it took to inspire Brian to show everyone who the real genius was.So far this is my favorite Brian Wilson solo album as it seems to retain some of the same magic which made his work in the sixties so special.And oddly enough this is when Brian was under complete supervision of Dr. Landy.Say what you want about Eugene Landy,but I have not heard Brian Wilson this inspired since this release.Not that his others("Imagination","Smile",etc.)are bad.Obviously "Love and Mercy" is a killer song to open the album with,but it doesn't seem to go downhill after it."Walkin the Line" is great."Melt Away" could have been written in the sixties,I love the fade out."Baby Let your Hair grow Long" is a killer song.Listen to the changes in it,this guy didn't go to music school!The middle part makes my jaw drop.Another one of my favorites is "Let it Shine".Nobody could make a song with such simple lyrics as meaningfull as Brian does.It all sounds very sincere.Every song works on it's own and this a great album,but there is one more song I would like to mention."Rio Grande" is kind of a throw back to his Smile era stuff and it is a really cool 8 minutes of music,but there is something about it that I haven't heard anyone mention yet.The "roll on,roll on river" part is clearly a nod to his younger brother Dennis's "River Song".It is almost the same thing and Brian definatley uses it to make his own thing,but I'm surprised nobody addresses this in the liner notes,including Brian.Don't take my word for it;listen to this and then listen to "River Song" off of Dennis's "Pacific Ocean Blue" album from 1977.See what I'm saying?
Brian Wilson Poster
Brian Wilson's solo debut finally arrived in 1988 to much fanfare and near unanimous critical hosannas. Unfortunately, its commercial impact was negligible, a disappointing outcome for both Wilson, who takes pride in his string of '60s hits, and his boosters, for the 11-song self-titled record represents the zenith of the pop genius's post-Beach Boys oeuvre. "Love and Mercy" heralds Wilson's return to form; lyrically gracious and musically grand, it's an opener quite nearly on a par with "Wouldn't It Be Nice." From there, Wilson and an assortment of coproducers (Russ Titelman, Jeff Lynne, Andy Paley, and Lenny Waronker) intermix brisk, playful rockers ("Night Time," "Little Children") with sumptuous pop concoctions (the a cappella "One for the Boys," "There's So Many"), wrapping things up with an ambitious suite, "Rio Grande." The reissue is generously fleshed out with interview segments, demos, and late-'80s rarities, including the delightful B-side "He Couldn't Get His Poor Old Body to Move." --Steven StolderPop Music CDs
