“I haven’t made an album for a while except for the Beach Boys album so, we really, really felt cranked up to get going on some new songs,” Wilson says. Beck performs on three or four tracks likely to make the album, Wilson says. According to Rolling Stone magazine, they include a heavy surf-music jam called “Metropolis” and one on which Beck picks a 12-string electric guitar over vocals by Jardine. The album also features Marks. Wilson not only used both of them on his new solo material, but also has included them on the tour, meaning the show has more original Beach Boys on stage than Love’s touring version. “They’re good singers and they know my songs,” says Wilson.

Wilson says the songs recorded with Beck are hardly the only new material he has. He says he had “a whole lot of songs we wrote in 1998, and we used a lot of those.” He confirms reports he has three discs worth of material. The songs with Beck, Jardine and Marks are likely to make up a new album of pop songs, but Wilson also has a collection of mostly instrumental new songs with Beck and a complex group of interwoven tracks he calls “the suite.” He says he expects the first disc out “maybe about the end of the year. I’m not really sure when.” He says the rest of the material will follow, but “well, just one at a time.”

Now take the very best material from these album projects, convince Joe Thomas that some people actually like the sound of the human voice and get M&B to come over and sing.

or let someone else produce it...

Just for a moment, let's try to picture Jeff Beck in his Cuban heel boots, his skinny jeans, and all those scarves, standing next to Bruce's knees and boat shoes.

Sounds like the latest tour M&G. Bruce seems to wear his shorts to those. Any photo's to confirm? ;D
