- The greatest album there never was.
Twelve of the best tracks from the Brian Wilson / Andy Paley sessions of the 90s, sequenced to make an album that, in my opinion, would have been one of his very best.
Instead, The Beach Boys made 'Stars and Stripes Vol. 1'
There would be no 'Stars and Stripes Vol. 2'. How unfortunate.

Nothing better than a good Brian Wilson "what if" albums...
brian´s solo albums are magical they usually had a "pet sounds"/ mid 60's vibe ,even if they were done in the 80's or 90's
They wud all be big hits with the BB name,,,
Well, this one did.. Not so much Love & Mercy?
Brian and his company need to release a Paley Sessions box!
I second this!
I think it might be the most quirky of all his solo albums! If Lucky Old Sun is his solo Smile, this would be his solo Love You!
In an alternate timeline, they get the Boys to sing on this and they spend the early 90s touring with R.E.M.
Love everything Brian does. I find something to love in all his songs.
Same
Found this comment seven months later and was going to comment same but I already have ahaha
Brians music after the 60s wasnt perfect most of the time, but nearly everything is worth listening to and never boring!
Last two Brian Wilson Concerts I went to, I got picked up by two very fine ladies. Life is Good!
Brian can release whatever he wants...it's always great and innovative. He's a true artist.
I truly think these sessions would've blown people's minds back in 1996, preferably in a 12-13 track album like this one. It really sounds like a natural evolution from Pet Sounds, but slightly darker and more surreal. It's Brian letting loose his feelings completely unfiltered for once, with Andy building off of his ideas rather than monopolizing the whole thing.
This is probably my favorite of the various tracklistings that exist currently, and it heavily inspired my own. The only things I would really change in the songs themselves is shorten some of them, as songs like Gettin, Chain Reaction, and Proud Mary are epic but go on a bit too long. But with some cutting, I think this would make a solid single LP to rival Pet Sounds.
Side 1
1. I'm Broke
2. It's Not Easy Being Me
3. Gettin' In Over My Head
4. This Song Wants To Sleep With You Tonight
5. Chain Reaction Of Love
6. In My Moondreams
7. Proud Mary
Side 2
8. Soul Searchin'
9. Slightly American Music
10. You're Still A Mystery
11. Must Be A Miracle
12. Desert Drive
13. I'm Going Home
Yowsah
rival Pet Sounds?
I wouldn't leave out "This Could Be the Night".
Nicely done. Two things are missing from Brian's officially released solo catalog, Carl's voice and participation, and production from someone like Andy. Imagine Carl's voice on his 1988 LP, especially Melt Away. Joe Thomas's production just made Brian's music square. Here is my version (it does not have Some Sweet Day or Goin Home, and adds Saturday, Sweets, God and Everything I Need).
1. Saturday Morning in the City
2. Gettin' In Over My Head
3. Soul Searchin'
4. You're Still a Mystery
5. This Song Wants to Sleep with You
6. In My Moondreams
7. This Could Be the Night
8. I’m Broke
9. Must Be a Miracle
10. Sweets for My Sweet
11. God Did It
12. It's Not Easy Being Me
13. Chain Reaction of Love
14. Everything I Need
That's such a good point, imagine Carl's voice on Love and Mercy and Walkin' the Line. It's too bad that he didn't want to work on the material Brian had in 1995.
everything I need, by far the best IMO
Carl knew to get involved would demand a lot of studio work (the songs were impressive but still needed slight rewriting) and in the end they'd have themselves only a tepid sales seller. So he let an opportunity pass
I don't really understand the people saying this isn't soul-felt. It would've been amazing to hear Carl Wilson sing This Song Wants to Sleep With You Tonight.
This makes me sad. I miss the old (young) Brian Wilson.
Great stuff from this era, although it’s missing Slightly American Music and Proud Mary which are among the absolute best from those sessions
Proud Mary is really excellent. I like Slightly American Music a lot, but when I put it with the other tracks it felt a bit out of place.
@@crimbone5097 I can see that. Here’s my Wilson/Paley era tracklist.
Side 1:
1. Slightly American Music
2. This Could Be The Night
3. Sweets For My Sweet
4. Chain Reaction Of Love
5. I’m Broke
6. Desert Drive
7. Proud Mary
Side 2:
1. Gettin’ In Over My Head
2. Some Sweet Day
3. This Song Wants To Sleep With You Tonight
4. You’re Still A Mystery
5. It’s Not Easy Bein’ Me
6. In My Moondreams
7. Soul Searchin’
Went for a sorta Pet Sounds esq line up
It's the title track!
Thank you for the compilation, another excellent Brian Wilson deep cut
This is awesome. Thanks for putting it together.
Why didn’t you use the clean version of Some Sweet Day from the BW anthology? Then it would just need proud Mary as a bonus track and it would be the definitive paley album.
gotta say this but thank you for compiling the songs, i very much listen to this frequently and is my favorite album to listen to if it even existed. all the songs just match so well thank you
Just a thought. This style of BW album is a type of genre that it is not pop or rock.. This is a man expressing his feelings through music. A similar vibe and artistry can be found in Daniel Johnston or other lo-fi artists.. People who appreciate this BW era, characterize by simple personal music making, do not expect early BB's production... we just expect Brian... a sad man feeling happy on his piano.
Great comment.
Soul Searchin. Period.
Best version of Soul Searchin' I've heard excellent
I've been riding that wave with Brian since 83,' the very first time I heard his music, (soul searching) because his soothing vocal range carried me through a childhood trauma transporting me to higher planes of existence and I cannot explain that.
Not now, at least.
Awesome song wow
Where'd you get this version of goin home? It's way cleaner than the other copies I've heard
It was on a ‘Slightly American Music’ bootleg - you can find it online at ‘Another Beach Boys Blog’
@@crimbone5097 tysm, I really appreciate it!
Chain Reaction is the best fucking Brian Wilson track I've heard in years !
Probably my favorite Brian Wilson solo track ever recorded! While most of his career tried to capture that Pet Sounds production, especially in the 2000s, there is just something special about Brian letting loose! I'm Broke also captures that feeling. In the 70s, it was stuff like My Solutions, Love You and Adult Child that were just so unique! Smiley Smile and Friends would be the 60s version of Brian 'letting loose'. Not attempting to be commercial, just raw good feelings in music!
Thanks for posting! This reminds me of a mix of the Love You and That Lucky Old Sun albums
Wow
Lyrics for ''Some Sweet Day '' (I'm not very good at English, so let me know if there's wrong words so that I can edit them plz)
Some sweet day you're gonna see
that I'm born out for you
Some sweet day you'll see the light
You're gonna wonder too, yeah
You're gonna walk more and more of that
Nothing's never really going to fall, yeah
Some sweet, some sweet day I'm gonna make you mine
Some sweet day you look again
and that's gonna change your mind
about those plack that you have now
for you can leave'em all behind
Right now it's out of my hand, but
I don't worry cause you got me a plan, yeah
Some sweet, some sweet day I'm gonna make you mine
You know sure wasted so much time
for I stood by and waited for you
for it really gonna out of my mind
I ain't gonna let it get me down, thus
I'm really sure you don't come around, yeah
You put me through the landing hurray, so now
I wait just as long as I can, now
Some sweet, some sweet day I'm gonna make you mine
Some Sweet, some sweet day...
Awesome.
That’s Carl’s voice on soul searchin right?
Yes
Great album of course
A version of this in FLAC with higher volume would be immaculate. Only on track 2 but I'm loving it so far.
never released! I hope you will some day. Im glad it here then. History of Brian Wilson music requires a librarian. Love it. Thank you for posting.
Sounds like Love You, I would call it Love You Too
Damn I never knew Brian covered This Could Be The Night!
of course for the Harry Nillsohn tribute album
@@chreynest Oh damn I just learned how this song was a tribute to Brian in the first place! With Spector producing. no wonder I love it.
This is amazing. Great work!
Crimbone, you're hired. Get somebody to release this. Keep up the good work.
Do you know of a song "I Sleep Alone" performed in January of 1989 (video posted on UA-cam)--- as far as I know, Brian never recorded if officially, and it really is fascinating to me. I also like the first versions of Sweet Insanity songs
I Sleep Alone is really great. Haven’t given the Sweet Insanity stuff much time. But I’m sure I’ll find stuff about it to love
He wrote it for Sarah Brightman I think...
King wilson
what a treasure! ❤️❤️👌👌. thanks BW
Man, I'd love to have these tracks on vinyl
Let's not talk about religion here, shall we?
@@walterrizotto8668 wtf?
Musica. Especial
Lol this rules so hard.
Please sign my vegetable Mr. Wilson
Chain Reaction of Love is the best track Brian has recorded since 1977, truly fantastic. Wish The Beach Boys had got it together and made one last great album. Al and Mike in the vocal mix would be even better
“This song wants to sleep with you”
is wonderful!
one of the truly great love songs by Brian, overlooked and one of the greats, compare to Pet sounds
Album grows on you and that's pretty neat
Really like "must be a miracle" what a great song..
You got a FLAC download homie? This is some top-teir sequencing
Thanks man. That’s exactly the kind of validation I’ve been waiting for. There’s an FLAC download link on ‘Another Beach Boys Blog’, which is where I got all the songs. Hope this helps!
@@crimbone5097 Link?

Getting in over my head sounds like Righteous Brothers style.
I liked Soul Searchin, Although the guy that did Heroes and Villains and Good Vibrations pretty much gone , this guy wasn't making crap.
I love Brian Wilson. He literally saved my life when I was 14 through Pet Sounds. This song wants to sleep with you? Lyrics again. Great song, love the production. Lyrics? It's been his Achilles heal all along.
BITCHIN’!
Melinda hates these songs.
I'm broke is all for me
Thank you very much for sharing.
Reminds me of a cross between Harry Nilsson, John Cale and Nick Cave's heroin years stuff
brilliant work! thank you
It's tragic that Brian's loving wife crossed the line into interfering with his creative output. Those Joe Thomas recordings are a travesty. We can only wonder what might have been if Melinda had butted out of Brian's artistic process. This so much better than that adult contemporary shit they manipulated him into releasing.
Did not know about his wife. Unfortunately BW is a fragile person and his problems from past; too many people butted in. He needed Carl at his side.
I think Al these songs are great.... Would be a great album...
There is some great stuff on this album
That first one is sunshine pop all the way
This is a masterpiece
Entertaining listen. Thanks
Chain Reaction is a cool song
This is sooooo good.
thanks¡¡¡
🌱🙄🌼💙
Has he re-recorded these songs.......?
Some, not all. He recently released I’m Going Home, It’s Not Easy Being Me, Must Be A Miracle, and I’m Broke. A couple of the other ones crop up on his solo albums and elsewhere. Still no official Chain Reaction as far as I know.
great album
I've been listening on and off (mostly off) to this set of songs since the 1st bootleg of them came out on CD. Most of these songs are unmemorable, and some are recycled bits from previous boots or released songs. There is nothing here that excites or inspires me. It also sounds like Brian for the most part was not excited or inspired while writing and recording them. They are a great sampling of his 1980's process, but, for me, that's all they are. Brian's recent release of the song Right Where I Belong is light years ahead and far superior to all of the songs in this collection.
Thank you, Michael Love !
That’s definitely a fair perspective, and I can get behind some of that. We’re all entitled to our opinions. From my pov, are these the greatest songs he’s made since SMiLE? No (‘Til I Die on Surf’s Up probably is.) But what they are (to me) is a man who’s creatively “in the zone”, being his old innovative and wacky self, making these songs one of the brightest spots in an unfortunately underwhelming solo career.
Couldn't disagree more, the Paley songs feel to me like Brian at his most unhinged since Love You. He's almost yelling the songs rather than singing them, and the arrangements feel like a darker, slightly more insane version of the Pet Sounds style, it's just brutally honest music. His albums post-Imagination suffer from way too much external input (Lucky Old Sun is pretty great though), but this is clearly the work of two close friends who vibed with each other's ideas. With all the fat trimmed, there's a great 12-13 track album you can make from these sessions.
It's nice people love Brian so much but very little good came out of the Paley sessions. They are only legendary because nothing came of them. And I am a diehard Wilson fan who has been listening to the Beach Boys, and his solo stuff, religiously for 30 years. I've never been one to worship anyone though. I love him because he produced legitimately incredible work. I don't see any reason to delude myself into thinking his lesser work is also great.
What are your favorite bb songs?
Sorry-------------this sounds too much like " Love You " , 20 years later. Too much of BW's personal drama . ----------By ' Imagination", he was very different , & his voice had improved. ------------sorry---------------not for me , as a lifetime BB's fan.
Don't be sorry.
:-)
Imagination was basically Joe Thomas.
This is just not soul-felt music. It sounds like it was just something for Brian to do. I’m sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Against all better judgement, I love this style of Brian's music. Totally do not blame you for not liking it
Brian’s the greatest musical genius of the past 100 years. You should just shut up and be thankful for every note.
@@James-sh2zd You aren't telling me something everyone doesn't know, so YOU shut up.
Brian Wilson is fantastic but it is in Mike Love we really trust.
