More studio news

[Wirestone]

... Curiouser and curiouser ...

[SloopJohnnyB]

Wow!!! Awesome!!!  

Just like old times! How can that picture not make you smile! 

[Shady]

This is the greatest news ever 

Well apart from the reunion....and Smie

[Doo Dah]

Fantastic news. Hopefully David will get to wail on a couple tunes.

[SMiLE Brian]

Great picture, the plot thickens....

[EgoHanger1966]

I can't wipe the SMiLE off my face after seeing that picture!

[Pretty Funky]

WTF?

Me thinking its the long awaited R&R album has gone at the window. Would Ozzy Osbourne meets Woodie Guthrie work anyone?

[Pretty Funky]

... Curiouser and curiouser ...

...or maybe they are rushing a "Cotton Fields" mix over to Capitol for the Live album due to the SPECIAL REQUEST thread on this board?

I think I'd actually prefer a Brian-with-Al-guesting album than a Beach Boys album, anyway (blasphemy!), so this is really cool. While the group dynamic is missing, you get more Brian songs and less Mike nostalgia. Not that the latter doesn't have it's place, I've just had my fill from the last album.

That's kinda the elephant in the room, isn't it? I agree totally, by the way.

Love the photos, smiles, wardrobe, guests, positivity....God knows we need it right now, but would anybody like to venture a guess why there is no info attached to the photos about the project Brian is working on?

I don't see an elephant in the room.

Do you think it's an attempt to get Mike to pay attention?

I honestly have no idea, but I do think it's a bit odd to be posting picture after picture without posting ANYTHING as to WHAT THEY ARE RECORDING. Beck, Keltner, Was, that female bass player; those are some big guns.

I think Al doing some leads on a new Brian CD would be so cool

100% agree. Though I'd add David to the guest list.

[OGoldin]

Shall I be the first one to suggest that it is a new Beach Boys album that is proceeding like the CSN "Daylight Again" -- which was originally Garfunkle, Stills, and Nash -- just make the darn thing in spite of the absent, difficult member, and overdub later?

Out of that list, I only see 3 "big guns".

Having Al Jardine's voice on your recording is a very good thing, imho!

He's on the other side of the glass singing, my sources (the voices ) say that this cd is going to be called "The sweet landlocked insanity of stars and stripes vol2 while the  adult child goes Back to the zoo-featuring Andy Paley while being leid in hawaii with shut down vol 1  at christmas time unplugged because Brian Loves you".

Weeeeel...instead of beating the poor elephant again, I've always believed that the nuts and bolts of another decent Brian album have certainly been there for a number of years. It's almost turnkey post TLOS and TWGMTR. When you introduce certain parties such as Mike, there needs to be a certain 'compromise' that takes place.

Al has now posted a pic on Facebook of himself at the mic, and another with Al and Jeff Foskett. I would link, but don't know how.

[Shady]

More than anything I'm happy for Al
