Sail On Sailor 1972

Product Information

There’s material on my album that was originally supposed to be band material, which I was able to finish and produce with the fellas on it, from that period that we’re talking about. I rescued this one tune called “Don’t Fight the Sea,” and all the guys sang on it, and it just for some reason didn’t ever materialize, because it’s pretty serious, heady stuff, you know? I mean, the Beach Boys aren’t known for their thoughtful thinking about pollution and stuff like that. [Laughs.] So probably just thematically it wasn’t right for the Beach Boys, but it worked for me beautifully. And I encourage people to listen to the guys singing about something really important, especially now. … It’s unfortunately coming true — the polar bears are looking for places to sleep now. The new project focuses on the period after the seminal Sunflower and Surf’s Up albums, when Brian, Carl, and Dennis Wilson, Mike Love, and Al Jardine launched into their 18th studio album, Carl and the Passions – “So Tough,” then left Southern California to relocate in the small village of Baambrugge in Holland in the summer of 1972 to make Holland.

In the UK, "Sail On, Sailor" was issued as a single in June 1975 and failed to chart. [22] Pet Sounds lyricist Tony Asher, despite expressing distaste for much of the band's work after ceasing his collaboration with Brian Wilson, praised the song as "just dandy". [24] Personnel [ edit ]

I was impressed particularly with us writing some songs about more — shall I say — thoughtful and peaceful things, like from the meditation movement, because Mike and I had embraced TM at the time. And so there were a couple of things that I came up with, really from the old Indian, Hindu scriptures. One is called “All This is That,” which is a chant that I learned from Maharishi, and Mike helped me lyrically on that. So stuff like that was happening — we were a lot more introspective. Parks: Brian, there's something you gotta do for me, man. I want you to sit down at the piano, and I want you to write a song for me. Lyrics, melody, everything. I want you to do it right on the spot. The lead vocal was first attempted by Dennis Wilson, who sang the vocal once before leaving to go surfing. Carl was the next to attempt a vocal, but he then suggested that Blondie Chaplin make an attempt. After two takes, Carl decided that Chaplin's vocal would feature as the lead. [17] Release [ edit ] Ironically, when Mo Ostin and David Berson told the group they wanted to put "Sail on Sailor" on the Holland album and release it as a single, it became impossible for them to get Brian into the studio. When Brian finally got around to working, he started his usual procrastination, tinkering with the song, trying to make it perfect, as he had with " Good Vibrations" and Smile. Finally, the rest of the group did not allow Brian into the studio to work on it at all. [18] Lead vocalist Blondie Chaplin (1979)

Holland, on the other hand, was a triumphant return, even if its sales didn't reflect that. Recorded in 1972 but released early in the next year, the album marked the band's first recording outside of its California home base. The new setting of a barn in the Dutch village of Baambrugge inspired the Carl Wilson-led Beach Boys,who spent more than a quarter million dollars shaping a vision for their future. "Sail on Sailor," co-written by Brian Wilson in one of two credits this time, charted outside the Top 75 – but highlights abounded, including Carl's "The Trader" and the 10-minute, three-part "California Saga" suite.

Sail On Sailor – 1972 does a beautiful job of shining a spotlight on the Holland album in particular as the post-1960s masterwork it is, honoring the original while also giving it a little bit of an updated sheen. This new remastered version is a little bit brighter — but in a good way. Playing this LP, I can turn my stereo up loud and the music still sounds great and detailed.

He wrote a lot on his own, but he did ask me to contribute to “Pacific Ocean Blues.” We read about the slaughter of the dolphins that was pretty heinous. Dennis lived on a boat quite a bit of the time, the Harmony, and so we both had that interest in the environment. And Bruce (Johnston) and I have been on the advisory board of thee Surf Rider Foundation for many years. So we’ve all had a concern about the environment. And Al and I wrote that song together, “Don’t Go Near the Water” (on 1971’s “Surf’s Up). We all were concerned about it, and so some of that showed up with “Pacific Ocean Blues” and “Don’t Go Near the Water.” You know, it was nice to write basically with just about everybody in the group at that time.
