I'm looking forward to seeing this. Especially interested in what unreleased footage they have used.

The documentary will go further than 1980, won't it? I'm askig because the new book will stop at the Washington show in 1980. I would love to get some new insights into the 90s and the 2012 reunion.

Well, one thing I'd love is that unplugged show they did at the Grammy Museum in 2012, but that probably wouldn't necessarily fit the description. It probably has to do with the documentary.
On the other hand, I wouldn't expect a podcast of the Boys analyzing each other's solo albums.

Rocker….have you looked at my site lately? I have all these pics there!


I have, but not into the 60s area lately. You have so many pictures that are/were new to me that it's hard to keep up with what I've seen before or not when a news feed comes up  Cheesy  Hope you don't mind this fauxpas

6  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / New music by Blondie Chaplin on: March 03, 2024, 08:49:01 AM
This from Facebook:

Back in June 2021, Blondie was in Austin, TX lending his masterful vocals to the songs of Andrew Morse. Musicians such as Darryl Jones, Charlie Sexton, Stephen Barber, Charley Drayton & the dearly missed Ian McLagan also contributed to Andrew’s project which has now been officially released as “The Tasty Kings with Blondie Chaplin”!!!

Blondie says, “Andrew thought my voice would ring good on the songs. It was something I needed to do instead of going crazy during the Pandemic, struggling to stay in the light.”

Look for this new release NOW on YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, iHeartMusic.

Check out track 2, with Blondie’s beautiful lead vocals, “Maybe I’m A Queen” on YouTube: https://youtu.be/q6R3cAJKLBk?feature=shared








Also a new album by a german musician who tours and kinda manages Blondie when he is in Europe was released featuring Blondie on a couple of tracks:

This is the best Carl Perkins clip...he literally smokes Clapton-unbelievable:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbQ283J_NkQ


Don't know if you've heard this. It's a Perkins show (or part of it, the tape starts during the concert) in '89 while promoting his "Born to rock" album at the Bottom Line in New York. Clapton was there to watch the show and got called up on stage for a couple of songs.

Carl's son - and drummer - Stan said that before the show Keith Richards was waiting for Carl in the dressing room, too.

11  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian has been placed in a conservatorship (likely suffering from dementia) on: February 16, 2024, 03:44:54 PM
Well, Brian has reached a certain age when things like dementia become a possibility. I'm sure Melinda's passing also caused Brian to lose a lot of strength and that his body and psyche are not capable anymore to fight these things. I wish him all the best and hope that he can still live in a way that brings him some kind of joy and satisfaction. The man has been through so much. We love you, Brian!
12  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Carl Perkins on: February 14, 2024, 03:41:12 PM
I never knew Marshall Grant to be a songwriter. So I would bet it's a Perkins song.


Finally got an answer for "Long legged guitar pickin' man":

I didn't see it posted here yet, but it may delight some members of the forum. Here's the recording of "What A Wonderful World" that Brian did together with Van Dyke Parks (arrangement) for his wedding with Melinda, which they danced to that night.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L5PmtMezdA


Yeah, it was released on the "Orange Crate Art" re-release:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQoWOcw_Pl8


I didn't know he did this for Melinda. Always thought it was an OCA outtake. A very nice recording with quite an intimate atmosphere.
14  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian and Fred Vail: Country Album to be released on: February 13, 2024, 05:07:46 PM
Great! I'm actually really excited about this, although it probably won't be much. But having Burton, Hardin (at that time both were part of Presley's band) and Red Rhodes plus Brian and afaik a young Linda Ronstadt on backing vocals needs to be released if only for historical reasons. And to be honest I'm quite sure it will sound more "country" than everything that did come out of Nashville the last decades.


- EDIT - Needleinthebay already posted the article



EDIT 2:


They will enter the studio with a group of guest vocalists they’re not ready to name yet. “They’re country music legends,” Parker says. “They’re rock & roll legends, contemporary country, and pop stars too.” 


Ok, little less excited.

“Hello Everyone,
It’s with a heavy grieving heart that I announce this morning the passing from time into eternity of my husband of 42 years at 10:30pm CST February 9, 2024.
He was 86 years old, and had an incredibly filled life. He loved all of his devoted fans who became amazing friends. He was our family, but his passion for music and love for you all let him belong to everyone.
Peace to you all always,
Deborah”

Mr. Kramer was one half of the twin-guitar attack that drove the Detroit band’s [MC5] incendiary live performances, helping to set the stage for punk rock.

Many thanks for all those Carl Perkins recommendations, Rocker!


So, let me get this right: you're away for years and then all of a sudden you feel the need to post this?  Cheesy  Welcome back!

I'm not seeing a thread for it here but it has just been announced that he will appear on that Glen Campbell duets album coming out.  There were photos from that recording session taken back in late 2022.  



Glen Campbell Duets Album to Feature Brian Wilson, Carole King, Dolly Parton

https://consequence.net/2024/01/glen-campbell-duets-album/


Glen Campbell Duets – Ghost on the Canvas Sessions Tracklist:
01. There’s No Me… Without You (with Carole King)
02. Ghost on the Canvas (with Sting)
03. Hold on Hope (with Eric Church)
04. The Long Walk Home (with Hope Sandoval)
05. Nothing But the Whole Wide World (with Eric Clapton)
06. In My Arms (with Brian Setzer)
07. A Better Place (with Dolly Parton)
08. Strong (with Brian Wilson)
09. A Thousand Lifetimes (with Linda Perry)
10. It’s Your Amazing Grace (with Daryl Hall & Dave Stewart)
11. Any Trouble (with X)
12. I’m Not Gonna Miss You (with Elton John)




EDIT:

The song is quite dark, so it'll be interesting to hear if Brian sings any of the lead. If he added just background vocals I guess it won't sound very different to what's already been released.

This was just posted by Brian's Facebook account. I thought it would fit pretty nicely.






1965: Brian outside the recording studio with a local Girl Scout troop, promoting the new Beach Boys single, “The Little Girl I Once Knew.”


I have to say though that having the Girl Scouts pose with the single makes the lyrics a little creepy.
A + for Brian's clothes.

THIRD MAN RECORDS ANNOUNCES VAULT PACKAGE #59: ELVIS PRESLEY AT 706 UNION AVE: THE SUN SINGLES 1954-55


https://thirdmanrecords.com/blogs/news/third-man-records-announces-vault-package-59-elvis-presley-at-706-union-ave-the-sun-singles-1954-55


Third Man Records, in conjunction with Sony Music Entertainment and the Sun Label Group, is proud to announce its 59th Vault package, Elvis Presley at 706 Union Ave: The Sun Singles 1954-55. Celebrating the seventieth anniversary of these monumental recordings, this collection includes faithful reproductions of all five of Presley’s original 7-inch 45rpm singles on Sun, pressed in a hypnotic yellow and black marble colored vinyl. Additionally, a bonus 7-inch EP of four Elvis songs recorded at Sun which didn’t see release until later are collected in a prime pretty picture sleeve and pressed on yellow and black “sun ray” splattered vinyl.

To further accentuate the set, Third Man has included two linen-style postcards in the box, one depicting the classic, unassuming facade of the Sun storefront and the other showing, in glorious detail, the beauty of sound absorbing acoustic tile. Also added here is a name-tag styled patch spiritually inspired by the accoutrement of Presley’s truck-driving job at Crown Electric, extolling the titular hook of that first Elvis a-side. And finally, a substantive, milled nickel 45 adaptor, featuring the iconic rooster emblazoned on all those early singles.

Beyond that, ONE lucky customer will receive a package that contains original 1950s pressings of ALL FIVE Elvis Presley singles on Sun. Sought after by collectors for decades, these records’ value align more with precious metals than molded plastic. A true golden-ticket opportunity. Order now through January 31st at www.thirdmanrecords.com/vault. Packages begin shipping in April.

Very interesting. Thanks for this! Will start with the TLGIOK part soon.

Re: Ruby Baby, yes, Dion & The Belmonts cut it and probably were the inspiration for the Beach Boys. But the original was by The Drifters:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2hVa8KHFFU

Written by Leiber & Stoller. Brian cut a version of this song around 15 Big Ones. Speaking of Leiber & Stoller it's interesting to note how much of the material had a connection to them. "One Kiss led to another", "Ruby Baby", "Riot in cell block no. 9", "Smokey Joe's Cafe" all written by them, "The Boy from New York City" produced by them. Maybe just coincidence, though. In the end none of them were used anyway.




EDIT:

Couldn't agree more with you on TLGIOK. Everything you mentioned about it is how I feel as well.



BTW this was once featured on Brian's website, don't know if it still is. Lennon's reaton to TLGIOK reminded me of this.
