It's the Pickle Brothers, I'm pretty sure.  "Mike's Redwood," if you will.  A potential outside production for Brother records.

Is that the same with "It's Time"?
Is this stuff serious?

They were some kind of comedy group.  So no, not really serious.

I rather enjoy "It's Time".  Reminds me a bit of the Loaded era VU for some weird reason.

Betty Joe is a parody of Bobbie Gentry's classic Ode To Billie Joe.

Mike produced that stuff, right?  So why wouldn't he let Brian doing Redwood?

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

The issue was that Redwood wanted to be doing LPs, but they were only going to be signed to produce singles.  Redwood wasn't willing to just be a singles band, so they left Brother.

I think The Pickle Brothers used to open for the BB back in the day.

Ah, okay. Thank you. I wonder how the story might have been if the plan with producing outside would have happened in a big way....

Two questions:

Why was it okay for Brian to produce a spoken word album for Steve Kalinich, but not an album for Redwood?  Wouldn't the Redwood album have had a better chance of moving units than a poetry album by a relative unknown?


Okay, one more question!

Does anybody know anything about this version of "Let the Wind Blow" with lead vocal by "Amy"?

Probably because the Beach Boys heard the Kalinich album (it sucks) and the Redwood material was halfway decent, even good.

Let the Wind Blow (Amy vocal) is a rare track that I'm doing my best to get out. I posted it back at the old Smile Shop. "Amy" was a woman Bruce had met and wanted to sign to Brother Records, hence the recording. Nothing came of it.

I think I would enjoy Stevie's album if "America I Know You" is any indication.  I admire the guy, and anything Brian was involved in 1968 is of extreme interest to me.

Because Brian was giving "Darling" to Redwood, a Beach Boys top 20. Those kind of chart appearances were getting rare those days. Seriously, a Darling-less Wild Honey and a Redwwod Darling single would both bomb horribly in the charts. As things happened, Wild Honey only bombed moderately and Three Dog Night moved on to sell gazillions of records.
