Music reviews of Long Promised Road: Songs of Dennis & Carl WilsonMusic Review: Buried Treasure Map
Well worth buying for multiple reasons.First of all because it is a great live album of convincingly performed songs written by both members of Adam Marsland's Chaos band as well as of course Dennis and Carl Wilson.So just for the performances alone it is definitley worth checking out.The second reason is because this tribute album is like a map for finding some of the still buried "Wilson Treasure" if one is so inclined.When this tribute album was released the new "Pacific Ocean Blue"/"Bambu" Legacy edition(2008)had still not been released,so obviousley that release is where X marks the spot for songs such as "River Song" and "Moonshine",etc. Song's such as Carl Wilson's "The Trader" can be found on "Holland" and most of the others for that matter can be found on Beach Boys album's anywhere from "20/20" all the way up to thier self titled 1985 release(Carl's "Where I Belong")That leaves me with the final two scattered pieces of treasure from this album;"Carry Me Home" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again".Both of these songs were written by Dennis Wilson and I find them to be the high point of this performance.Evie Sands and Adam Marsland nail the vocals on these two songs.When I first heard "Carry Me Home" it blew me away and I knew their had to be an original version somewhere and it didn't take me long to find a version of it on the internet.It is a duet between Blondie Chaplin and Dennis Wilson who's vocal on this song despite the quality of the recording is HAUNTING.The fact that a song that good can stay unreleased after all these years is pretty depressing to me.The final piece of missing treasure,"Wouldn't it Be Nice To Live Again", I still Have yet to hear the original version(and believe me I've looked).Alan Boyd has in an interview said that Dennis's version of this song is the strongest vocal he ever did.Steve Desper who was the engineer for this song has said it is the best unreleased Beach Boys song in existence.Someone needs to be putting together a Dennis Wilson anthology.Who knows how much material is just chillin inside the vaults!Mike Love and Bruce Johnston need to put the whole thing to rest and acknowledge the fact that the name "Wilson" holds much more artistic significance than "The Beach Boys" ever will.Anyone with knowledge of these songs that is not working to get them released should be ashamed of themselves.That is just my humble opinion though and I could be wrong.In close I would just like to give credit to the musicians involved in this project and thank them for introducing songs to me that I didn't even know existed.Who knows there might be more.
