Omnivore 395 – Special Record Store Day release
In 1966, when Brian Wilson prepared the follow up to his masterpiece Pet Sounds, he employed the services of Mississippi born Van Dyke Parks as lyricist for The Beach Boys next album, SMiLE. As history would soon document, SMiLE became the most famous unreleased album in rock history, its completion not seeing daylight until a Grammy-award winning box set in 2012. SMiLEs original plan was to incorporate many different elements of American music in an avant-garde fashion, its musical format leaps and bounds ahead of anything that existed contemporaneously. As SMiLE quickly grew in legendary terms, Brian and Van Dyke each went their separate musical ways, only to reunite briefly in 1972 for The Beach Boys classic Sail On Sailor. So it was perhaps with great apprehension and excitement that these two musical giants should finally reunite in 1994 for some unfinished business. This time, however, the mission would be complete. The musical terrain familiar . . . a paeon to California . . . While the album was essentially a Van Dyke Parks album with amazing vocals collaboration by Mr. Wilson, this release highlights the dense Copeland-esqe orchestrations of Mr. Parks. Both versions are must-haves.
