"An album of their famous parents' songs, says Wilson. "It'll be out in September or October.""

Hmm. Am I the only one who would rather just hear the originals? I guess if W-P exposes more people to the music, it's all good.

I wonder what the track list will look like, I'd like to see Sweet Mountain included.

They kind of already did that with their album "California". Some original new music would be nice, especially if they are still with Russ Ballard.

Excellent call. Let's hope the girls remember their mom had a pop career too!

To tell you the truth, I couldn't care less.....
But it I guess they kinda do it as a tribute to the BBs' 50th anniversary and just for the fun add some Phillips-compositions....

Which BBoys songs have WP already covered?

"Til I Die," "In My Room," "Dance, Dance, Dance," "Don't Worry Baby,"...  what else?

I would acrtually like to hear them do an updated version of Good Time.  :p

May I suggest "Ding Dang"?

is this rhetorical??

I liked Wilson Phillips. Carnie was on a reality show to become a county singer and lost. I didn't think county was her style. Then again, It was a reality show.

"Our Prayer"

"Forever" (Carnie Wilson)
"Heaven" (Carnie Wilson)

It'd be kind of a kick if they covered "Little Children."

Poor little Wendy she's too scared to speak.
Little children they're marching along.
And look at little Carnie with dirt on her cheek.

Actually, I've heard that Wilson Phillips is going to cover the SMiLE album. Al didn't have his facts right when he had his little slip of the lip. "Wilson Phillips Presents SMiLE' is going to be AWESOME!

Their producer's name was Glenn Ballard.

"Til I Die" isn't by WP, but rather the Wilsons -- Carnie, Wendy and Brian, as is the case with "DWB" as well.

Wilson-Phillips did reunite at the tribute to Brian some 10 years ago to perform "You're So Good To Me."

zzz

Carnie and Wendy also did "The Warmth Of The Sun."

Rather well, actually, in my opinion.

Wilson Phillips originals have never done much for me, so on the surface this seems like a decent idea.  As has been discussed in other threads though, even when they do classic Beach Boys songs, something is often lacking - "soul," "warmth," whatever. 

It's been suggested before, but tapping Brian to produce would be a nice touch, and might make for a better sounding record.

A tribute to Lady Gaga?

No?

:(

It would be funny if Kokomo was on there. Monday Monday would be cool.

Only if they did it in true mono.

Thank you for the correction. Ballard did produce the Christmas album this past year, so it makes me wonder if he will be producing the new one too?

...............crap!  (sorry I couldn't resist!)

WP did Monday Monday on the california album

The best song on that show came from Bobby Brown. Seriously.

If they're true to the whole "parent" concept, we'll be spared "Kokomo."

I'd love to see stuff like "He's A Doll" or "Wendy" on there. 

Wilson Phillips new CD "Dedicated" is set to be released on April 3rd. Today, Amazon has a pre-order price of $10.00 if anyone is interested.

I'm a year late to the punch!

Didn't they sort of make an album like this a few years back?  Have they run out of ideas?

In a perfect world they would write all stuff themselves.
They have writing talents: Alone - Wendy Wilson, I Hear You -  Carnie Wilson.
The last song, that has Brian Wilson style piano, has also some harmony parts similar to Midnight's Another Day (the 'lost in the dark' frase)

when did they do this video?

California Dreaming, Don't Worry Baby, and maybe others are streaming on the Wilson Phillips website for anybody who's into that stuff.

That's not true, John Phillips (along with Mike Love, Terry Melcher, and Scott McKenzie) wrote Kokomo. Wilson Phillips. Chynna Phillips of Wilson Phillips is the daughter of John Phillips who wrote Kokomo.

So, who thinks John Phillips was a kiddy-fiddler?

Apparently Wilson Philips had a reality show last year? It's resuming in April.

Evidently they were on Tuesday night: 
"  To celebrate the debut of their much-anticipated new CD "Dedicated," Wilson Phillips will be making a special live appearance on QVC, beginning tonight at 10 EST. And don't miss the series premiere of "Wilson Phillips: Still Holding On," Sunday April 8 at 9/8c on TV Guide Network "

Has anyone ever explained why Carnie is named Carnie?

It's short for Carnelious. I believe it's carnation. Like the flower.

Sigh... It´s like pearls for the swines carnivores... Did you guys ever listen to it?

Check out the similarities. To me it´s similar, but I did never say it was influence on purpose.

I didn´t know it, but now I realise it´s even in the same key

Maybe one of them will come out of the closet and sing 'Hey Little Tomboy'

Surf's Up (Wendy)

... in a can somewhere....

According to IMDB, Brian almost named her Carnation but shortened it to Carnie. It was the 60s, after all.

You do realize that Wilson-Phillips has not been relevant for almost 20 years, right?  :lol

:O holy sh*t! I normally go into this sort of thing as very skeptical seeing as a lot of folks just say anything sounds like something else, but there are a lot of similarities. There's nothing outright alarming on first listen, but man, there's something really similar going on there.

Edit: Okay, one part comes pretty close to "alarming". Strange.
