You can get this song on "California Feeling 2"!

[18thofMay]

Holy smokes

[Wrightfan]

Honestly might be my new least favorite song with Brian involvement. Just sounded like a generic do wop song.

It is interesting though as it's kind off a sneak peak of the 15 Big Ones era.

[The_Beach]

Holy smokes

OH YEAH!!! now if we could only get some offical releases of all the unreleased material of the beach boys! Some awesome some im sure not the best but all a nice creative twist by Brain Wilson of his forever expanding creativity of music!

[Cabinessenceking]

Pretty sh*t effort really.

Can't blame the sessions when all Brian came up with was this, ding dang and rework of Battlehymn of the republic. There's nothing to suggest the same man wrote Marcella or Sail On Sailor a year before.
I was really hoping and looking forward to hearing this, but now its omission from everything so far seems perfectly justifiable. Goin To The Beach derserved a slot on MiC over this junk doo-wop ditty.

Makes me fear the same applies to the rest of the mythical Bedroom tapes. And I thought the Cal Feelin and ITBOMM demos were surey just the peak of the iceberg.

My expectations were pretty low to begin with, so I thought the song was alright.

[Micha]

I think it's very much like the material recorded for Love You, just without the synths and the minimised drums.

Going off topic for a moment here: There's a nice fan video for Cabin Essence recommended there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u38toJ2HhqA - which mix is that? Sounds a bit unfamiliar to my ears.

[Jay]

It almost sounds like a rewrite of Walkin'.

[Andrew G. Doe]

Recorded at the same session as "California Feelin'", 11/12/74.

[shangaijoeBB]

It's a good song but nothing special really. It really made me think of that one (maybe a remake?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEU8E1w3nlU

[Douchepool]

Well, the stories of this track being awful have certainly been proven in spades upon listening to this clearly hidden "gem." Shiiiiiiiiit...bloody awful indeed.

[Cool Cool Water]

Cool stuff!

[frightfulhog]

Definitely in my top 10 worst BW tracks, but I ain't complaining.

[pixletwin]

Finally get to hear Lucy Jones, from the fabled Nov. 74 session. Brian's voice was still there.. shame the song is crap. 

[Dudd]

Yes, not one for the compilations. Interesting listen anyway.

[Jim V.]

So I've listened to it a few times, and I must admit, I still hardly hear Brian. Could somebody point out to me where he is on this track?

Also, it's probably him on piano, right? Do we know if this is a Wilson/Kalinich song or just a Kalinich song?

[The Shift]

Yup, that song came to mind here too, as did this:

Quite likin Lucy Jones though, esp the backing vocals.

[Steve Latshaw]

I'm enjoying this as well... goofy, to be sure (melody reminds me a little bit of Bony Moronie).  Would have been an interesting album in 75...

[punkinhead]

Good call folks who suggested the Little Deuce Coupe demo, Walkin', and Hey There Momma. I thought of Walkin' when i listened the first few times.

Also, it's probably him on piano, right? Do we know if this is a Wilson/Kalinich song or just a Kalinich song?

On piano, the backup vocals, and doing the count-in (and the Come on In at the end).

That...sucked.

So who is on the main vocal? Kalinich?

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Yes.

No, that one doesn't suck.

[Mike's Beard]

Filing this along with Lazy Lizzie and Marilyn Rovell under listen to once just for completists sake, then never play again.

[LeeDempsey]

Ah ha, so now I believe that in "the "California Feeling" demo, when Brian does his melodramatic voice and shouts "California Feeling -- CAN'T YOU FEEL IT?," he's imitating / poking fun at Stephen...  Makes sense to me now.
