Title: Al's California Post by: Smilin Ed H on January 29, 2006, 09:12:25 AM When was the version on the ESQ CD recorded?
I have 98 as the date, but I read on this board somewhere that it was meant as a demo for the country album... Did he record more stuff like this? What an album it would make! Title: Re: Al's California Post by: Rocker on January 29, 2006, 10:44:49 AM Yeah, it as a demo for Merle Haggard for the country-album. Great version. Could have been a great album if they would've done it well....

Good vibes, Eric Title: Re: Al's California Post by: punkinhead on January 30, 2006, 07:51:33 PM yeah, i believe it was as well, that should have really been on S&S....
there were other tunes that "could" have done country that would have sounded fine... brian's cut of Let's Stick Together coulda made it with it's country vibe...lol...i dont know if LST had the same backing track that it had on GIOMH Title: Re: Al's California Post by: NimrodsSon on January 30, 2006, 07:58:58 PM I haven't heard it, but I can't imagine what any version would be like without Brian's lead vocal on the first line. That completely makes the song for me (that and those Beach Boys harmonies!).
