Brian Wilson working on new solo album with Jeff Beck
Brian Wilson is working on a new solo album, with the help of Jeff Beck and two other Beach Boys in Al Jardine and David Marks.
According to CoS, Wilson said, “I was really moved by the fans’ excitement about The Beach Boys’ album and tour last year. It charged me up and my head was full of music – I just couldn’t wait to get back into the studio to let it out.”
Wilson also explained how guitarist Jeff Beck literally found himself in the mix: “When I watched Jeff Beck perform ‘Surf’s Up’ to honor me at the MusiCares Person of the Year event in 2005, I knew I had to find a way to work with him. He absolutely blew my mind and we’ve been friends ever since. Jeff’s incredible guitar playing is exactly what I want for my new album and I’m also looking forward to performing live with him soon.”
The album is still untitled and follows in the trail of his last solo release, 2008′s That Lucky Old Sun. Here’s a track from that record to wax your board up to:
