There was a rumor he did some backing vocals on the self-titled and Sweet Insanity albums, but if he's there, he's buried under all the Brians in the mix.

I believe it says in the liner notes which songs he sang on on BW88, but I can't help you figure out which voice is his.

Actually, it doesn't say which songs. I personally always thought his sole contribution was the "all aboard" on Rio Grande, but that very well might be Paley.

It's a Brian-Landy-Dick Dale-Steve Vai collaboration from Paul Shaffer's Coast To Coast. Very cool.

Are you joking about this? Vai meets Brian meets who-the-f*ck-ever...ahHAHAHAHHAHHA. Gimme. Please. Not that I'm asking.

No...it's a real song. And yes, that is the same Paul Shaffer as on David Letterman's television program.

It's really the ultimate Shortnin' Bread song. It takes the riff deeper and harder than any other tune by Brian, because there's essentially nothing else on it except for the riff.

It features:

Brian (keyboards and vocals)
Paul Shaeffer (ditto)
Landy (on the title words)
Mick Fleetwood (on high-hat cymbal, I think I remember)
Steve Douglas (Brian's sax-man from the 60s)
Dick Dale and Steve Vai on surf (ish) guitars

I'm pretty sure there's a third guitarist on it, someone 70s-ish. Joe Walsh, maybe?

I actually love this track.

Actually, it does - "Rio Grande". I hazard a guess at the 'campfire' sequence.

I may be wrong, but I've always thought it was him doing the bass "Night Blooming Jasmine..." section .

Joe Satriani is the other guitarist.

What'd you mean by campfire sequence on Rio Grande?

I could swear that I read somewhere - maybe in the press kit? - that Landy sang the "Big Big Sky, Indian" part on there.

Yeah...it's too "Murry-like", which is appropriate for Landy!

After comparing it to the demo on the 2001 reissue of Brian Wilson, I have to say that bit sounds like Brian to me.
