THAT LUCKY OLD SUN            BRIAN WILSON

The recording of its premier

okay, beautiful! Wond’rous. yeah, beats the bejesus out of “GETTING IN OVER MY HEAD”, any day. And I really liked the aforementioned! i can't wait for the official release in whatever form brian sees fit. one thing that struck me, no, gobsmack'd me, real hard, wuz that brian has not only such a sweet singing voice, of course (we all know that from forever ago) but the SPOKEN SECTIONS! YEAH! brian reads these sections full out and strong and hip, hip, hipster, hip. like, as good if not better than any reading by beat writers jack kerouac, which his tone reminds me of, but with so much more FEELING and wistfulness. but the rhythm of the prose stands up to any ginsberg recording or corso recording or ANY hipster beat-writer (beach-nik) cadences that i've ever heard. and i knew some of those people and i've heard all the 50's AND more modern recordings of prose poetry. or as alan g. liked to say, "prosody". hip, man. go, man, go! but the gentle innocence in the voice only propels it past all that. that gentle innocence could only come from one man. one voice. a voice that is a national treasure. american as anything gets. and the wonderful melodies all woven in and out forever, like it could float and curl and spiral up into infinity with nostalgic thought trains. there are sections.... beautiful, even in its obscurity...no haha. a little joke there. no, really, there are little sections that quote "rio grande" and "san francisco" from van dyke parks' and brian's "orange crate art" that are so artfully worked in, it is like a fine tapestry of harmony. all this is worked in like it is a summation of forever. i wouldn't be surprised if van dyke and andy paley both get song credits on this and a lot of others too. but it could all come from only brian. also, of course, in the performance tape’d that I’ve hear’d, the crowd goes wild at the quote from "been way too long". as it should. i'm going to listen to this again from start to finish right now. which will be the second full time. and I look forward to hearing THIS recording from the premier many times again in the future. and I can’t imagine the wonderful, soulful-sound-swirl-symphony of the official release. apparently, brian's never lost any of his enormous talent and loves us all very much! - bobby cormier
