Unfortunately i was unable to attend due to a death in my family. However, my friends who used my tickets all absolutely loved the show. I have seen that line up many times, so although i wasn't there, i have no doubt it would have been incredible. Brian Cadd is my very favourite artist and we always attend his shows in Canberra and sometimes Goulburn.

Brian Cadd On Going Country: 'I’m 77 Years Old, I Can Do Whatever I Want To Do'

Australian songwriting legend Brian Cadd opens up about an extraordinary life in music, why he finally made a country album, and the unforgettable experience of recording 'The Real Thing'.

Country music has always been close to Brian Cadd ’s heart, right from childhood when he tuned in to a Sunday morning country show on Perth radio.

“At eight or nine, I was exposed to everything from Hank Williams to Smoky Dawson , and the storytelling I heard coming out of those songs was enormous,” Cadd says. “That really helped me when I was writing songs of my own.”

Even if his fans in Australia always knew him as a rock’n’roller, the imprint of country music is deep in many of his best-loved songs. 

While he has written songs with Americana and country flavours for much of his career, his new album, Dream Train, is a country record from start to finish, from instrumentation to the heartbreak ballads.

“I moved back to the Gold Coast about three years ago after I had been living in New York,” Cadd says. “I started hearing about the Kross Kut Records studio where John Williamson records, and I knew some of the players already.”

A country record was the logical step.

“Five years ago, I never would have done this, thinking of the way I am perceived as coming from the rock’n’roll world. Then I thought, I’m 77 years old; I can do whatever I want to do. It was a magical experience.

“I felt I had been given this freedom. Let’s have more dobro [and] more pedal steel. They even sneaked some banjo into the mix, and that is something I never would have done before.”

That freedom he was feeling unlocks some of Cadd’s finest songwriting, a record that can stand alongside his classic ’70s albums like Brian Cadd and Parabrahm .

The album opens with the Tex-Mex flavours of You Know What To Say , complete with piano accordion and the kind of irresistible melody that is always front and centre in Cadd’s writing.

Songs like All I Need To Know and The One That Got Away are tales of heartache and regret of the kind that George Jones once made his own, while Only We Know finds hope in new love.

The album closes with the title tune, Cadd’s story of an extraordinary life spent in music. 

As he said at his 2007 induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame , “I can't really imagine how it could have been much better or any more fun.”

 “I started playing around on piano at home, and at 12, I was playing on television in WA,” Cadd says. “Not many people get to do that or to figure out so early in life that is what they want to do.”

Cadd was 20 when he co-wrote his first hit, Woman You’re Breaking Me, for his early band, The Groop , and his song Elevator Driver was a hit for The Masters Apprentices in 1968.

That’s him on piano and Hammond organ on one of the all-time greatest Australian singles, Russell Morris ’s The Real Thing , recorded in Melbourne in early 1969 with Ian “ Molly ” Meldrum as producer. 

Cadd’s personal tastes were already heading in another direction, taking inspiration from The Band ’s Music From Big Pink album with its groundbreaking mix of folk, country and rock’nroll.

“ Glenn Shorrock and I both heard that album, and it was like a quasi-religious experience. Our axis shifted, [and] everything we thought about music changed.

“We found the right combination of like-minded people, and that became Axiom . The Band was unique, but it showed us there was a way to take the country-rock things we loved and to make it our own.”

Axiom brought that fresh sound into a new decade with the hits Arkansas Grass and A Little Ray Of Sunshine before Cadd launched his solo career with songs like Ginger Man and Let Go .

While A Little Ray Of Sunshine remains a staple on Australian radio to this day, Let Go is the song that took his name around the world as a songwriter. Glen Campbell ’s version of the song remains Cadd’s favourite cover version of one of his songs, although he admits he was dubious about the song’s prospects when he wrote it. 

“The song just tumbled out,” Cadd says. “It was so blatantly a country song I wasn’t sure it should go on the album I was making.” 

Ron Tudor , who backed Cadd as a songwriter, house producer, band leader and solo artist with his Bootleg label, insisted otherwise.

“Ron said, ‘I don’t care what you think. It’s my record label, and I am putting it out as a single.’ He was right. The song has been recorded 61 times and is a hit all over the world.”

America was calling, where Cadd wrote songs for artists including Dobie Gray, Joe Cocker and Ringo Starr . At one point, he owned a studio in Nashville, a connection that led to his joining The Flying Burrito Brothers , another prime country-rock influence on his music. He toured the world with them for three years.

The Pointer Sisters recorded his song Love Is Like A Rolling Stone, which became the B side to their worldwide hit with the Bruce Springsteen song Fire.  

“I was lucky enough to play on the session for the song with people like Elton John ’s guitarist Davey Johnstone ,” Cadd says. “Those ladies rocked. We cut the track, and in walked their mate Kareem Abdul-Jabbar , and at that point, things climbed into the surreal. This is one of the great basketballers of all time, and he’s asking me what piano I like to play.”

As someone who has survived as a musician and songwriter for 60 years, what is Cadd’s advice for the next generation?

“Never ever give up. I have known so many incredibly talented people in my life. They have a bit of a go, and they don’t quite get there, and then they tend to fade away or play the pubs when really they had the ability to do anything. 

“They are great, but they don’t have the drive. That’s why you find the people who make it are this annoying combination of talent and drive. They never take their eye off the ball.”

Recording The Real Thing

“That was one of the greatest experiences of my life. The phrase ‘everything including the kitchen sink’ is apt. After we all thought the recording was finished, Molly kept getting us to play the ending. Eventually, the drummer stopped, saying, ‘I’m exhausted, I can’t play anymore.’ That’s why there is an explosion to finish the song because it didn’t have an ending.

“The song was more than six minutes long. There was the thought, they are never going to release this because no one is going to play it. It seems ridiculous when you think about it now, but that’s what it was like then. They liked two-minute records because you could play them before the news!”

Brian Cadd Releases First New Music In Five Years ‘You Know What To Say’

by Paul Cashmere on January 19, 2024

Australian rock legend Brian Cadd has a new song for 2024. ‘You Know What To Say’ previews Brian’s upcoming album ‘Dream Train’.

“This album has been an exceptional journey,” Brian says. “It has taken me so long to actually make a country album, I was unsure how it would feel for me. I have been writing country and country-rock songs for many years, yet I remained locked into my ‘Brian Cadd – rock artist’ persona on stage and particularly in the studio.

“But with Dream Train I found a new freedom which allowed me to think ‘outside the musical artist box’ that I’d existed within for so long.”

‘You Know What To Say’ comes ahead of Brian’s first shows for 2024 starting in Tamworth next week on 24 January at West Leagues Club. Brian will perform with Melbourne country act The Long and Short of It.

The Tamworth show will be the first of 15 for Brian who will spend this tour across New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.

‘Dream Train’ follows on from 2019’s ‘Silver City’ featuring a country version of his 1972 rocker ‘Silver City Birthday Celebration Day’. Brian’s first solo album was ‘Brian Cadd’ in 1972, featuring the classic ‘Ginger Man’ as well as the original version of ‘Silver City’, creating somewhat of a bookend to the career.

By the time 1972’s ‘Brian Cadd’ rolled around, Brian had already been established as one of Australia’s finest performers and songwriters. His first band The Groop generated a number of hits including the Cadd originals ‘Woman You’re Breaking Me’ (no 6, 1967) and ‘Such A Lovely Way’ (no 13, 1969).

After The Groop, Brian formed Axiom with Glenn Shorrock (ex-Twilights) and had three more Top 10 hits with ‘Arkansas Grass’ (no 7, 1969), ‘A Little Ray of Sunshine’ (no 5, 1970) and ‘My Baby’s Gone’ (no 8, 1971).

1972 (pre the debut solo record) also had another hit with Axiom’s Don Mudie ‘Show Me The Way’ (no 15, 1972). There were also the Cadd hits for others ‘Don’t You Know Its Magic’ by John Farnham and ‘Marshall’s Portable Music Machine’ for Robin Jolley.

Brian’s songs have been recorded by Ringo Starr, Pointer Sisters and Bonnie Tyler.

‘Dream Time’ is coming soon through Ambition Entertainment. “We are thrilled to have such a legendary and fine artist on the Ambition label,” says Robert Rigby, Ambition Entertainment Managing Director. “Brian Cadd has been making music for over six decades. He is truly Australian music industry royalty. This new, long-awaited album is somewhat autobiographical and features some of his finest songwriting in years.”

“I am so proud of this album,” Brian says. “The studio I chose, the engineer who guided me all the way, and the beautiful ‘cream of country music’ musicians who joined me for the ride, made it all feel so natural and easy, like I’d been doing this forever.”

Put-in Tours - Things You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)

Wesley Bryan finishes second at Corales Puntacana, earns another start

Kevin tway, peter kuest also finish top 10 to qualify for the cj cup byron nelson.

Change Text Size

YouTuber and PGA TOUR winner Wesley Bryan held the 54-hole lead at the Corales Puntacana Championship, and he carded a smooth 68 in the final round at Puntacana Resort & Club’s Corales Golf Course. In a long-awaited return to Sunday contention, the wily veteran met the moment – with a mustache and swagger to boot.

It wasn’t quite enough for a return to the winner’s circle, as Bryan finished solo second to Billy Horschel, who stampeded to a final-round 63 for a two-shot win at 23-under. Yet Bryan, 34, will take plenty of good from the week. Having entered the season on low-level past champion status (this was just his second start of 2024, having missed the cut at the Puerto Rico Open), these 165 FedExCup points will help immensely in the upcoming reshuffle of conditional members.

Wesley Bryan's strong finish secures solo second place at Corales Puntacana

With a top-10 finish, Bryan also secures a start at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson in two weeks.

“Obviously excited, it was an amazing week, but bummed,” Bryan said afterward. “Definitely encouraged how the golf game was, how it held up under the pressure of a weekend leading a golf tournament. … Today just got beat, plain and simple. … Hats off to Billy.

“I didn't realize there were that many people that watched our YouTube videos down in the Dominican Republic, but that support was amazing. Online it's been great this week. … I feel like we made some more good content from this week and something to build off of professionally playing as well. Looks like we'll have some more opportunities to play throughout the year.”

Bryan’s sole TOUR title came at the 2017 RBC Heritage (ironically also being played this week), shortly after winning three times on the 2016 Korn Ferry Tour en route to Player of the Year honors. Golf came easy for him at the time. It hasn’t always been the same since; he went nearly six years without a top-10 finish on TOUR, a streak that he snapped with a solo sixth at last year’s Puerto Rico Open.

Wesley Bryan's breakout win at RBC Heritage

This week, things snowballed upward in a big way. Bryan started fast in Punta Cana with an opening-round, 9-under 63, which he backed up with scores of 69-66 into Sunday’s final round, when he made five birdies against one bogey. The University of South Carolina alum finished in style with a 30-foot birdie at the 72nd hole, followed by congratulations from his wife Elizabeth and their three young children who made the trip.

The Bryans shared a rental house this week with Ben Martin and family, and there was plenty of poolside relaxation to be had. It corresponded with good golf and good memories.

“For the girls to be out here this week, I mean, I could have finished dead last, but for them to be able to see daddy hit a few golf shots and kind of soak in what the atmosphere was I feel like was pretty special,” Bryan said. “For me, just having them out here, it's amazing.”

Bryan wasn’t the only conditional member to secure a spot at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, as fellow TOUR past champion Kevin Tway finished solo third at 19-under to assure another start in two weeks. Tway carded four rounds in the 60s in Punta Cana, notching his first TOUR top-10 since the Texas Children’s Houston Open in fall 2021.

Kevin Tway curls in an eagle putt at Corales Puntacana

Non-member Peter Kuest also punched his ticket to THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson with a tie for ninth at the Corales. Kuest earned his spot in Punta Cana with a T10 at the Valero Texas Open, into which he Monday qualified, and he has now parlayed that successful Monday into a third start.

Kuest, 25, is making a habit of this practice. Last year, he finished fourth at the Rocket Mortgage Classic to earn a spot at the John Deere Classic, where he finished T17 to earn Special Temporary Membership. This year, he still has plenty of work ahead to reach that mark; he now holds 110 non-member FedExCup points, with the Special Temporary Membership threshold for this season at 263 points (No. 150 on last year’s FedExCup Fall standings).

Nonetheless, Kuest has earned another chance to chase that mark.

Brian Harman Was in No Mood to Answer Questions After Late-Round Struggles

Harman dropped three shots down the stretch Thursday to finish up with a one-under 70.

• Author: Kyle Koster

Brian Harman was cruising to a nice opening round at the RBC Heritage on Thursday afternoon but his good vibes were ruined by a bogey on No. 17 and a double-bogey on No. 18, which brought him from 4-under to just 1-under. With conditions facilitating excellent scoring, the late stumble put him behind the eight ball as he fights for positioning headed into the weekend at the event, which doesn't have a cut.

Harman, the reigning Open champion, fulfilled his post-round media obligations by fielding four questions over 45 seconds, saying 43 words in response, and getting the heck out of there as quickly as possible.

This side of pro golf exists! It's fun to see it. The uber-angry-I-just-made-double interview. Four questions, 43 words in response, 45 seconds. pic.twitter.com/I0aJc3HhCo — Sean Zak (@Sean_Zak) April 19, 2024

Credit where it's due. If someone asks you if you can walk them through the hole that ruined everything you can simply say no and walk away. That's something weekend duffers can use when they return home and are in a foul mood.

The unorthodox interview did little to spark Harman who is one-over in his second round at the moment and nine shots off the lead.

Expert will testify on cellphone data behind Idaho killing suspect Bryan Kohberger’s alibi

Lawyers representing Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the killing of four University of Idaho students, plan to call in an expert on cellphone tower data to bolster his claim of being far away from the scene of the crime when the victims were stabbed to death in November 2022, according to a court document filed by the defense.

Kohberger’s attorneys beat a Wednesday deadline with an alibi defense filing that provided details of their client’s purported whereabouts at the time of the homicides, as required by Idaho law. Kohberger, 29, is facing quadruple-murder charges.

“Mr. Kohberger was out driving in the early morning hours of Nov. 13, 2022; as he often did to hike and run and/or see the moon and stars,” said the affidavit, signed by lead attorney Anne Taylor. “He drove throughout the area south of Pullman, Washington, west of Moscow, Idaho, including Wawawai Park.”

The park is nearly 30 miles from the off-campus house on King Road in Moscow where the students were killed overnight, and about 20 miles from Kohberger’s apartment in Pullman.

A trial date has not been set.

Who is Bryan Kohberger?

Kohberger was a doctorate student in criminology at Washington State University in Pullman, about 10 miles west of Moscow, where the University of Idaho is located. After a manhunt of more than six weeks, he was arrested in late December 2022 while visiting his family in Pennsylvania, and extradited to Idaho.

A plea of not guilty was entered for Kohberger when he declined to offer one.

Kohberger’s lawyers have portrayed him as an avid nighttime explorer who mixed in countryside drives with hikes and runs. They are seeking a change of venue, arguing he can’t get a fair trial in Latah County, the northwestern Idaho home of Moscow, because of the intense publicity the case has received.

Besides the murder charges, Kohberger is facing a count of burglary.

Police say he once posted a Reddit survey asking participants for information to “understand how emotions and psychological traits influence decision making when committing a crime.’’

What's the evidence against him?

Prosecutors say Kohberger’s DNA is a “statistical match’’ to the DNA picked up from a leather knife sheath found at the scene of the stabbings.

In addition, they have linked surveillance video from that early morning to his car, a white Hyundai Elantra seen speeding away at 4:20 a.m. from the area around the house where the bodies were found. Police estimated the homicides took place between 4 and 4:25 a.m.

Authorities also say Kohberger’s cellphone signal was picked up 14 times in the cellphone tower coverage area where the victims lived, two of those on the day there were killed. The signal was also detected near his home at about 2:47 a.m. the morning of the killings, but not anywhere again until 4:48 a.m. They said criminals often turn off their cellphones or put them on airplane mode “in an effort to avoid alerting law enforcement that a cellular device associated with them was in a particular area where a crime is committed.’’

Who were the victims?

Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, were seniors who had been friends since the sixth grade. Juniors Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, 20, had been dating for months. Police say the first three lived at the house where they were found dead, and that Chapin was spending the night when they were killed.

Rainbow Storytime NZ cancels nationwide tour after attacks by Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki

A rainbow storytime group targeted by Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki and supporters is cancelling its nationwide tour to focus on court action. 

Events in Rotorua and Gisborne were shut down amid continuous protest activity by Tamaki's supporters, which also saw Gisborne's rainbow crossing vandalised. 

More from Newshub

In a Facebook post, Rainbow Storytime NZ, comprised of Erika Flash [drag queen Daniel Lockett] and Coco [founder Sunita Torrance], said it was "very upset and disappointed" to cancel the nationwide tour planned for later this year. 

"We had an entirely new show ready to go with new books and new songs and new costumes. 

"We know there will be MANY sad kids and parents out there but with the current climate and ERIKA FLASH now staying on in London, we are going to press pause on everything we are doing." 

The Facebook post said they would focus their energy on taking "that hateful, icky group to court to try and create more widespread change in Aotearoa". 

The pair told Newshub last month they were planning to take legal action against Tamaki and are fundraising for the fight.

A Burlesque Family at Home

Showbiz couple angie pontani and brian newman’s high-spirited marine park house..

Everybody knows that we love old things,” says the burlesque artist Angie Pontani, who is showing me the exuberant, family-hand-me-down-filled Marine Park house in in Southeast Brooklyn she shares with her husband, the musician Brian Newman, and their 8-year-old daughter, Sistilia. “And if you give me something, I can’t get rid of it.”

“That was my aunt Livia’s,” Pontani notes, pointing out the armchair in the living room, “from when she got her first apartment in the ’80s.” Pontani and Newman had it reupholstered in leopard. The matching ottoman, from her aunt Norma, dates from the 1940s. The bedroom set was her parents’. The chandelier is from Grandma Mary, “who brought it back from Italy in the ’50s,” she says. “There’s also Great-grandpa Paul’s office chair from his restaurant, Casa Lido, in Trenton.”

The dining table was her great-grandmother Sistilia’s; even their daughter’s name is an heirloom. “It’s a super-old-school name,” Pontani says. “It loosely means ‘sixth-born,’ like when they name you after a number. But it’s such a pretty name.” Some of what they have inherited were her father’s flea-market finds. “Growing up, this is one of the things that my dad would do every Sunday morning. We’d get up at five and go, and we’d just search for cool stuff.”

Pontani and Newman moved here in 2019 after living together in her apartment in Kensington. Her nephews were upstairs in the same building; family is important to Pontani. She is “100 percent Italian, born in Trenton, New Jersey,” she says, where every-one in her neighborhood was related and knew one another. Her family, she adds, “are very traditional,” but her father liked to paint and had what she describes as “extreme style,” including in home décor. She takes after him.

Pontani had always wanted to be in show business. But after a year in the acting program at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, she grew bored and dropped out. While working at a Tribeca café, she met a group of performers from The Dutch Weismann, “one of the first true revival burlesque shows in the city in the mid-’90s,” she says. Pontani signed on. “The show had dancing and singing and, of course, burlesque, but I didn’t even know what it was at the time. I couldn’t have cared less about stripping, but it brought out natural skills that I didn’t know I had in terms of costuming, choreography, and production.” (She was the co-producer of the New York Burlesque Festival from 2002 to 2023.)

Newman, a trumpeter and singer from Cleveland, moved to New York in 2003. He found music gigs on Craigslist. “I did hip-hop bands, I did Latin bands, I did jazz bands — literally, any gig that had a trumpet I would take.” He met Lady Gaga while bartending at St. Jerome on the Lower East Side; she was a go-go dancer and party promoter at the time. Later, he co-produced the track “La Vie en Rose” with Lady Gaga for A Star Is Born and was also the bandleader, arranger, and trumpeter on two albums by Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett .

Newman met Pontani when he answered a Craigslist ad that said “trumpet player wanted for burlesque troupe.” But he played it so cool on their first date — a Mets game in the best seats he could buy — that she wasn’t sure it was a date. Four years later, their friend the comedian Murray Hill urged them to go out again. They married in 2013.

Now, Newman is the music director of Bruno Mars’s club, the Pinky Ring, at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. He and Pontani also have a residency in Vegas at the Nomad Library called “Brian Newman After Dark,” which Newman describes as “really a throwback to the old lounge vibes of Louis Prima in the main showroom with Frank Sinatra.”

“The biggest thing” about being a burlesque performer, Pontani says, “is this self-ownership of your sexiness, of your femininity, and you display it any way you want to in a satirical way.”

Fresh off a resilient victory that changed the course of their first-round Western Conference playoff series, the Los Angeles Kings return home for Game 3 on Friday against the Edmonton Oilers.

Beach Boys' Mike Love on giving the Beatles songwriting tips and life with Brian Wilson

Mike Love was obviously pleased to see the Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds” holding strong at No. 2 in the latest update of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in Rolling Stone , with only Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” above it on the 2023 edition of the list.

“When I first saw that, I said, ‘Well, I demand a recount,” he says with a laugh. “Being the bratty sort of guy that I am, you know? But anyway, no, that’s pretty good company, don’t you think?”

Love is speaking by phone from the Caribbean, about to catch a flight to Phoenix to visit his son, Brian, who lives in Scottsdale, before a string of tour dates with his latest version of the Beach Boys that includes performances at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, and Talking Stick Resort in metro Phoenix (on Friday, April 26).

Here’s what he had to say.

Mike Love on the Beach Boys at Stagecoach Festival: 'We do what we do'

It's interesting to see the Beach Boys at a country music festival. Have you done Stagecoach before?

No, although we did appear with our friends LoCash on that stage a couple years ago . They did a song called 'Beach Boys.' It's, like, some country guys going to the beach. And they asked us to sing with them, so we did.

So you're just doing your normal Beach Boys set at Stagecoach?

Well, yeah, we do what we do, you know? We'll do all our hit songs that we're known for, everything from “Surfin' Safari” and Surfin’ U.S.A.” to “I Get Around” and “Fun, Fun, Fun” to “California Girls” and “Help Me, Rhonda,” “Good Vibrations” and “Kokomo.” And John Stamos is gonna be with us. He loves to come out and play drums with us.

Beach Boys flashback: How the Beach Boys took 'small town' Phoenix by storm in 1964: 'It was a big thing'

Paul McCartney's Beach Boys moment on 'Back in the U.S.S.R'

It’s great to see “Pet Sounds” hanging strong at No. 2 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

It's amazing. Bruce Johnston, who joined our group in 1965 to take Brian Wilson's place after Glen Campbell filled in for six months or so, actually took the album as an acetate, before it was printed up. Keith Moon of the Who introduced Bruce to John Lennon and Paul McCartney. So he played the album for them a couple of times in his suite.

We have a connection that goes back many years with the Beatles. And, of course, I spent a couple of months in Rishikesh at the Maharishi's place. I didn't know before I got there but when I did get there the Beatles were all there. That was a fascinating time. Meditation and music. In fact, I was the first person to hear “Back in the U.S.S.R.” from Paul McCartney's acoustic guitar at the breakfast table one morning.

What did you think of them doing their Beach Boys thing on “Back in the U.S.S.R.”?

I thought it was amazing. I was staying in the same sort of area. It was like a motel kind of thing. Paul was down at the other end. And Prudence Farrow was in a similar area. You know, John Lennon came up with that song “Dear Prudence.” But yeah, when Paul came down, he said, “Listen to this, Mike. Flew in from Miami Beach, BOAC” and all that.

I said, “Well, Paul, what you've got to do is talk about all the girls around Russia in the middle part,” which he did. So it turns out Sir Paul is pretty capable of crafting a tune.

There was a lot of music that came out of that course. They actually did a song called “The Spiritual Rejuvenation Foundation” and played it for me on my birthday. It was styled after “Fun, Fun, Fun.” I had my birthday on the 15th of March and George Harrison had his on the 25th of February. So we're both Pisces, as it turns out, and we're both very much into our meditation.

Do you find that meditation help with creativity?

Yeah, just life in general. And I'm in a creative field. So it's absolutely helped me a lot. On a practical level, Transcendental Meditation, which is taught by Maharishi, your metabolism slows down to a level of rest twice as deep as sleep. So you get this profoundly restful relaxation, which is great for everything, your emotions and your physical well-being. I've been doing it since December of '67 when I first learned meditation from Maharishi.

Mike Love on the Beach Boys throwing a curve with 'Pet Sounds'

Getting back to "Pet Sounds," does it feel as through that album has been getting more and more appreciated as it ages?

You know, Capitol Records really didn't know when we first made it what to do with it . So it never got the push that it probably deserved, because we really put a lot into that album. But it was regarded very highly by all the people in the music business. Paul McCartney once said that “God Only Knows” was his favorite song. I mean, that's a pretty fantastic statement coming from a guy who's written some of the most famous and best songs ever.

But Capitol Records really didn't know what to do with it because it was such a departure. When we played the record for the A&R guy, the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet, he wanted something more like “California Girls,” “I Get Around” and “Fun, Fun, Fun” because they'd had so much success with that type of thing.

But here's an album with symphonic orchestrations and stuff, dealing more with emotional themes than, you know, the beach or girls or cars, which there's nothing wrong with that stuff. I love it. But they just didn't know how to handle it. Then “Good Vibrations” came along a few months after that and went to No 1. and we were voted the No. 1 group in Great Britain, No. 2 being the Beatles, on the strength of “Good Vibrations.”

“Barbara Ann” came out in the first part of the year, then “Pet Sounds” and “Good Vibrations.” That was quite a year for us, 1966.

That was quite a year for you. Could you address the stories we've all heard that you were not a fan of what Brian had come up with for “Pet Sounds” when you first heard it?

That's really not true. I don't know. There's always been detractors. But no, I worked on every song on that album and even wrote some of the words. So that's absolutely inaccurate. In fact, I named the album “Pet Sounds.” Brian didn't know what to call it. I said, “Well, how about 'Pet Sounds?'” And that led to our going to the San Diego Zoo, the petting zoo, and taking the album cover photo, which is pretty trippy.

Anyway, so yeah, I came up with the title of the album. And I'm the one that presented it to Capitol Records along with Brian. He and I were the ones that took that album and played it for them.

And Capitol was like, “Well, we don’t hear a single?”

Well, they were used to getting these two-, three-minute singles that were so successful. And it was kind of a departure. But hey, that was how many years ago now? It’s all worked out. We do “God Only Knows,” “Sloop John B” and “Wouldn't It Be Nice” at virtually every concert we do. So it's well represented in our shows along with the other singles we've managed to have been blessed enough to have.

I mean, we're one of the top groups ever in terms of number of Top 40 singles.

Mike Love on thought of another reunion with Brian Wilson

You guys reunited with Brian and Al Jardine for a 50th anniversary tour and album. Do you think we'll ever see all the guys come together like that again?

I think maybe it would be interesting if we could get in the studio, but Brian's not doing very well lately. I hope the best for him. And I think it'd be great if we could, but we'll have to see if it actually can happen. Brian hasn't been touring for the last year or so. And I'm not anticipating him going out anymore. In fact, they're putting him in a conservatorship or something. (Multiple news outlets have reported that Wilson's family has asked a court in Los Angeles to set up a conservatorship for Wilson.)

But there is a documentary coming out on the Beach Boys and we ended up getting together at Paradise Cove, the beach where we took our first album cover shots. So it was really nice. Brian and I were reminiscing together, along with the other guys, about stuff that happened when we used to go to high school games together. He remembers things that I'd forgotten. So that was pretty neat, to get together and reminisce with my cousin.

It sounds like you guys are in a better place these days?

Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah, absolutely. Especially with Brian. We go back to childhood together. The first time I remember hearing him sing, I was on my grandmother Wilson's lap singing “Danny Boy.” And we grew up singing all the Everly Brothers songs, Chuck Berry songs and all the doo-wop songs of the day. So we have a lifetime of experiences and love and respect for each other's abilities.

That's sweet. You said you could see getting together in the studio. What did you think of the way “That's Why God Made the Radio” turned out?

Well, I don't know what to say about that in a positive way, because I was told that I was gonna be able to get together with Brian and write. But that was disallowed at the time by I'm not sure who. But anyway, that didn't happen. That was kind of an inducement to me for all of us to get together, actually, but it didn't turn out the way I would've liked it, so.... That's too bad, though. Missed opportunity, I think.

Mike Love on the latest round of Beach Boys reissues

There's been some interesting reissue projects lately. Box sets combining “Sunflower” and “Surf's Up” and then “Carl and the Passions” and “Holland.” What did you think of those projects?

Great. I mean, “Holland” was a fantastic experience. I lived in Holland for six months. We wanted to get away from L.A. to record it and live in a completely different country. It was pretty fascinating. I thought it was great. In the meantime, we're in Holland doing “California Saga,” a trilogy about Big Sur and stuff. “Holland” was great.

Every album has something special about it. A couple of those albums are where individuals came out with their creativity, whether it be Carl or Brian, Alan or Dennis, Bruce Johnston. Everybody got a chance to be a little bit creative, whereas up through “Pet Sounds” and “Good Vibrations,” primarily Brian was the writer and producer.

I mean, I co-wrote with him tons of words and hooks on all the hit singles, although it wasn't originally credited, because my uncle (Murry Wilson, who managed the Beach Boys until they fired him and controlled their publishing until 1969), frankly, cheated me on that part of things, which, you know.... But that was rectified . Anyway, all the albums had their own personality.

I've been listening to “Friends” a lot lately. Such an underrated album.

That's precisely what I mean. There are many great tunes on some of those lesser-known albums. Every group has its heyday. But we've been blessed enough to hang on to millions of fans who still love to hear our song. So we're very fortunate to be able to do a lifetime of music and still have some of our albums regarded very highly.

Do you have a personal favorite Beach Boys album?

You know what? I don't know. It's like, “Do you have a personal favorite kid?”
