Nothing better than a good Brian Wilson "what if" albums...

brian´s solo albums are magical they usually had a "pet sounds"/ mid 60's vibe ,even if they were done in the 80's or 90's

Well, this one did.. Not so much Love & Mercy?

In an alternate timeline, they get the Boys to sing on this and they spend the early 90s touring with R.E.M.

Brian and his company need to release a Paley Sessions box!

I think it might be the most quirky of all his solo albums! If Lucky Old Sun is his solo Smile, this would be his solo Love You!

Last two Brian Wilson Concerts I went to, I got picked up by two very fine ladies. Life is Good!

Brian can release whatever he wants...it's always great and innovative. He's a true artist.

Love everything Brian does. I find something to love in all his songs.

Brians music after the 60s wasnt perfect most of the time, but nearly everything is worth listening to and never boring!

Great album of course

A version of this in FLAC with higher volume would be immaculate. Only on track 2 but I'm loving it so far.

Album grows on you and that's pretty neat

I truly think these sessions would've blown people's minds back in 1996, preferably in a 12-13 track album like this one. It really sounds like a natural evolution from Pet Sounds, but slightly darker and more surreal. It's Brian letting loose his feelings completely unfiltered for once, with Andy building off of his ideas rather than monopolizing the whole thing. This is probably my favorite of the various tracklistings that exist currently, and it heavily inspired my own. The only things I would really change in the songs themselves is shorten some of them, as songs like Gettin, Chain Reaction, and Proud Mary are epic but go on a bit too long. But with some cutting, I think this would make a solid single LP to rival Pet Sounds. Side 1 1. I'm Broke 2. It's Not Easy Being Me 3. Gettin' In Over My Head 4. This Song Wants To Sleep With You Tonight 5. Chain Reaction Of Love 6. In My Moondreams 7. Proud Mary Side 2 8. Soul Searchin' 9. Slightly American Music 10. You're Still A Mystery 11. Must Be A Miracle 12. Desert Drive 13. I'm Going Home

I wouldn't leave out "This Could Be the Night".

Nicely done. Two things are missing from Brian's officially released solo catalog, Carl's voice and participation, and production from someone like Andy. Imagine Carl's voice on his 1988 LP, especially Melt Away. Joe Thomas's production just made Brian's music square. Here is my version (it does not have Some Sweet Day or Goin Home, and adds Saturday, Sweets, God and Everything I Need). 1. Saturday Morning in the City 2. Gettin' In Over My Head 3. Soul Searchin' 4. You're Still a Mystery 5. This Song Wants to Sleep with You 6. In My Moondreams 7. This Could Be the Night 8. I’m Broke 9. Must Be a Miracle 10. Sweets for My Sweet 11. God Did It 12. It's Not Easy Being Me 13. Chain Reaction of Love 14. Everything I Need

That's such a good point, imagine Carl's voice on Love and Mercy and Walkin' the Line. It's too bad that he didn't want to work on the material Brian had in 1995.

Carl knew to get involved would demand a lot of studio work (the songs were impressive but still needed slight rewriting) and in the end they'd have themselves only a tepid sales seller. So he let an opportunity pass

This makes me sad. I miss the old (young) Brian Wilson.

Thank you for the compilation, another excellent Brian Wilson deep cut

gotta say this but thank you for compiling the songs, i very much listen to this frequently and is my favorite album to listen to if it even existed. all the songs just match so well thank you

I love Brian Wilson. He literally saved my life when I was 14 through Pet Sounds. This song wants to sleep with you? Lyrics again. Great song, love the production. Lyrics? It's been his Achilles heal all along.

Thanks for posting! This reminds me of a mix of the Love You and That Lucky Old Sun albums

I don't really understand the people saying this isn't soul-felt. It would've been amazing to hear Carl Wilson sing This Song Wants to Sleep With You Tonight.

Chain Reaction is the best fucking Brian Wilson track I've heard in years !

Probably my favorite Brian Wilson solo track ever recorded! While most of his career tried to capture that Pet Sounds production, especially in the 2000s, there is just something special about Brian letting loose! I'm Broke also captures that feeling. In the 70s, it was stuff like My Solutions, Love You and Adult Child that were just so unique! Smiley Smile and Friends would be the 60s version of Brian 'letting loose'. Not attempting to be commercial, just raw good feelings in music!

Damn I never knew Brian covered This Could Be The Night!

I've been riding that wave with Brian since 83,' the very first time I heard his music, (soul searching) because his soothing vocal range carried me through a childhood trauma transporting me to higher planes of existence and I cannot explain that. Not now, at least.

Entertaining listen. Thanks

Just a thought. This style of BW album is a type of genre that it is not pop or rock.. This is a man expressing his feelings through music. A similar vibe and artistry can be found in Daniel Johnston or other lo-fi artists.. People who appreciate this BW era, characterize by simple personal music making, do not expect early BB's production... we just expect Brian... a sad man feeling happy on his piano.

Why didn’t you use the clean version of Some Sweet Day from the BW anthology? Then it would just need proud Mary as a bonus track and it would be the definitive paley album.

This is a masterpiece

Getting in over my head sounds like Righteous Brothers style. I liked Soul Searchin, Although the guy that did Heroes and Villains and Good Vibrations pretty much gone , this guy wasn't making crap.

I'm broke is all for me

Do you know of a song "I Sleep Alone" performed in January of 1989 (video posted on KZread)--- as far as I know, Brian never recorded if officially, and it really is fascinating to me. I also like the first versions of Sweet Insanity songs

Some, not all. He recently released I’m Going Home, It’s Not Easy Being Me, Must Be A Miracle, and I’m Broke. A couple of the other ones crop up on his solo albums and elsewhere. Still no official Chain Reaction as far as I know.

It's tragic that Brian's loving wife crossed the line into interfering with his creative output. Those Joe Thomas recordings are a travesty. We can only wonder what might have been if Melinda had butted out of Brian's artistic process. This so much better than that adult contemporary shit they manipulated him into releasing.

Did not know about his wife. Unfortunately BW is a fragile person and his problems from past; too many people butted in. He needed Carl at his side.

great album

I've been listening on and off (mostly off) to this set of songs since the 1st bootleg of them came out on CD. Most of these songs are unmemorable, and some are recycled bits from previous boots or released songs. There is nothing here that excites or inspires me. It also sounds like Brian for the most part was not excited or inspired while writing and recording them. They are a great sampling of his 1980's process, but, for me, that's all they are. Brian's recent release of the song Right Where I Belong is light years ahead and far superior to all of the songs in this collection.

That’s definitely a fair perspective, and I can get behind some of that. We’re all entitled to our opinions. From my pov, are these the greatest songs he’s made since SMiLE? No (‘Til I Die on Surf’s Up probably is.) But what they are (to me) is a man who’s creatively “in the zone”, being his old innovative and wacky self, making these songs one of the brightest spots in an unfortunately underwhelming solo career.

Couldn't disagree more, the Paley songs feel to me like Brian at his most unhinged since Love You. He's almost yelling the songs rather than singing them, and the arrangements feel like a darker, slightly more insane version of the Pet Sounds style, it's just brutally honest music. His albums post-Imagination suffer from way too much external input (Lucky Old Sun is pretty great though), but this is clearly the work of two close friends who vibed with each other's ideas. With all the fat trimmed, there's a great 12-13 track album you can make from these sessions.

It's nice people love Brian so much but very little good came out of the Paley sessions. They are only legendary because nothing came of them. And I am a diehard Wilson fan who has been listening to the Beach Boys, and his solo stuff, religiously for 30 years. I've never been one to worship anyone though. I love him because he produced legitimately incredible work. I don't see any reason to delude myself into thinking his lesser work is also great.
