Free Music Notes for That Lucky Old Sun

Free Music Review: A Brian Wilson Classic...
Hit: 5 Stars

I bought this CD with very little hope it would be a knockout. I listened to the song samples and wasn't too impressed, but I bought it anyways hoping that listening to the album in its entirety would change my mind.

I put the album on my surround sound and just listened...

The first song, 'That Lucky Old Sun', reminded me of 'Prayer/Gee' from BW's 'SMiLE' album...a very subtle but powerful harmony kicks off the CD...

'Morning Beat' is the first real song on the CD. It is an upbeat song about a morning in LA. It isn't the best song on the album, but it adds to the fun of the entire CD.

The narratives that are placed throughout the album are great. I found them to be a little odd at first, but they really set the scene (which is, of course, LA). 'Room with a View' and 'Venice Beach' are my favorite narratives from the album; full of wonderful imagery describing the Southern California life.

'Good Kind Of Love' is my favorite upbeat song on the whole CD. The instrumentals in the second chorus are amazing. This song shows the genius of BW involving instrumentals and harmonies. The lyrics are great...it is a very moving love song.

'Forever She'll Be My Surfer Girl' is a song reminiscent of 'surfer girl'. It is not as fun or touching as 'surfer girl' but in its own merit really adds a Beach Boys sound to the album.

'Mexican Girl' is another of my favorites. It reminds me of the song 'South American' from BW's 'Imagination' album. Again, the instrumentals are great. The lyrics are fun...it is all around a great song.

'Midnight's Another Day' is my favorite song on the album. The chorus' are amazing. The lyrics are some of the most touching I have heard from BW. I don't know if he wrote the song, but he is amazing at singing it.

'Southern California' closes out the album. It is a subtly beautiful ballad that really sounds like a Beach Boys song. The lyrics are amazing and the harmonies are in classic Brian Wilson form.

In the end, I loved this CD. As with most Brian Wilson solo albums, the audio quality is excellent. The instrumentals and harmonies are top notch. Even on the cloudiest/rainiest day this CD will make you think of the sunny and warm California beaches. With imagery laden narratives, touching ballads, and fun/upbeat songs, this album should be in every BW/Beach Boys fan collection.

5/5
