	Brian Wilson: Smile: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Brian Wilson was the son of a songwriter.
		Brian Wilson is touring Smile right now, with, they say, an unplugged keyboard and the same stiff onstage demeanor he showed during the "Brian is back" days.
		Brian had too much of all those things in the mid-60s; working on what was supposed to be the greatest record ever made might not have been the most realistic endeavor.

		It was then and there that nineteen-year-old Brian Douglas Wilson and his younger brothers Dennis and Carl assembled in their family's living room with cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine to rehearse a little tune that Brian and Mike had written for a try-out recording session.
		It was a unique fusion that Wilson had been tinkering with in the family garage where, inspired by The Four Freshman and their complex vocal blends, and armed with a multi-track tape recorder, he'd spent hours exploring the intricacies of harmony and melody.
		The answer was a resounding "Yes!" as Wilson embarked on a series of public appearances and concert performances that have been, to say the least, eagerly anticipated and avidly attended by devoted fans, many of whom are today's hottest names in music.

		Perhaps the best news Wilson has to report is that he's planning a "rock and roll" album as a follow-up, and that it may include some of the tracks he worked on with Paley.
		One of its highlights is a reconciliation between Wilson and his estranged daughters that takes place during a performance of "Do It Again." "That healed some emotional wounds for me," he admits.

		Wilson's charm and nack for a (frighteningly) complex harmony sequence is amazing and profoundly impressive, and as a whole the album succeeds at every turn.
		Wilson has produced in Smile a record with unnerving scope and vision, a piece that avoids any kind of genre pigeon-holing and one which, in years to come will (I believe) be reverred as a classic above and beyond the myth that it created for 37 years.
		Brian is back to this with "In Blue Hawaii," with the appropriately discombobulated segue that begins with "Is it hot as hell in here/ or is it me?/ It really is a mystery" and then into a Lord's Prayer allusion.

	MUSICMATCH Guide: Brian Wilson
		Wilson issued a debut solo album in 1988, with a promising lead single "Love and Mercy," but a pop crossover proved elusive; ironically, the Beach Boys had concurrently recorded their own comeback around the same time, and took "Kokomo" to the top of the charts.
		Wilson's second album, Sweet Insanity, was rejected by Sire, but in 1995, he reunited with his mid-'60s collaborator Van Dyke Parks for Orange Crate Art.
		Although Wilson was never a standout as a live performer, he began touring and released a pair of live titles: Live at the Roxy Theatre (2000) and Pet Sounds Live (2002).

		Brian Wilson’s songwriting genius and the music of the Beach Boys captured the world in the 1960s with hits like "California Girls," "Good Vibrations" and "Surfin’ USA."

		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.
		Brian can't hit all the high notes he used to hit, but he is still an excellent singer.

		The gripes over the absence of Beach Boy vocals, (particularly Carl Wilson and Mike Love) may be valid, but Wilson's band are respectful imitators, and this is the best Brian's sounded in years--his world-weary, poignant voice conveys Van Dyke Parks' impressionistic lyrics more maturely than his younger self.
		I only really got into the beach boys and Brian Wilson about a year ago, and being only 20, knew nothing of smile and the legend, but when i heard about it, i figured this is an album i needed to hear.
		Since then i've read a lot about the brian and the beach boys, and it's helped to appreciate what an amazing spectacle this album is. I guess for me it's one of those albums that grows on you the more you hear it.

	Brian Wilson : feature
		Brian Wilson on Brian Wilson music in the UK It's a barely credible answer, that this beautiful American dreamer would now feel himself as an outsider in a land that took much of his own vision as its own utopia, its own pastoral.
		As a coda to Leaf's comment, its hard not to think of how Murry, the Wilson's violent and competitive Father, symbolises the harsher side of the American dream when he sold Brian's entire catalogue of songs (Sea Of Tunes) for a quick buck (actually $7,000, a pittance of the real worth).
		It also offers nothing from the Landy Years, the days when Brian couldn't so much as leave the house without so much as a say-so from his psychiatrist Eugene Landy (Landy was eventually kept away by a restraining order).

	Intimate Audio (Brian Wilson Interview)
		Though session players rounded out the instrumental tracks on many of the mid-‘60s era Beach Boys cuts, Brian was the man holding down the low end on all the Beach Boys live dates from the band's inception to his nerve-wracked “retirement” from the road in late 1964.
		In a brilliant move, by enlisting Bruce Johnston (after a brief stint by Glen Campbell) to cover Brian's bass and vocal parts, the Beach Boys were able to remain on the road, providing their leader with sufficient time and space to freely embellish the Boys’ Southern California sound.
		To commemorate (almost) 35 years of Pet Sounds and celebrate Brian's forthcoming Pet Sounds orchestra tour (which opens at the Hollywood Bowl, September 24, 2000, followed by appearances at select cities), Bassics revisits this landmark album with Brian Wilson and bass ace (and Bassics columnist) Carol Kaye.
