Album Notes After a tumultuous career in and out of the limelight, legendary producer, songwriter and all-round music legend Brian Wilson's follow-up to the much-delayed 'Smile' album arrives in the shape of 'That Lucky Old Sun'. Using the Louis Armstrong song of the same name as a thematic device, 'That Lucky Old Sun' is an exercise in melancholy and nostalgia, as might be expected from a man still recovering from personal demons. Notably, the song 'Forever My Surfer Girl' shows the closest link to the Wilson of yore, a clear lyrical extension of the 1962 Beach Boys number 'Surfer Girl' (also written by Wilson). This release will delight fans, retaining the orchestral intricacy and lush arrangements that has made its composer one of the most influential figures in modern pop music.
