Wow, what a great compilation of Brian Wilson songs!  You got my attention right off the bat with this really cool industrial 80’s version of “Do It Again” by Wall of Voodoo and of course, who can’t like the beautiful vocal harmonies of the Bay Area’s Rubinoos on “Heroes and Villains.” I really like Fleetwood Mac’s laidback rendition of “Farmer’s Daughter” too and “The Lonely Sea” by Steve Almaas and Ali Smith, is very moving like the original, which I sang on in 1963! But my favorite song in this entire collection is Darian Sahanaja’s Pet Soundsy version of “I Wanna Pick You Up” from our Love You album. I don’t think I ever paid that much attention to the seemingly-innocent lyrics Brian wrote when Dennis sang them but Darian gives the song a whole new life and the ‘pat pat pat her on her butt’ sequence along with the SMiLE-like ending are exquisitely psychedelicate.  Excellent job Ace, I really enjoyed listening to Do It Again!

Thank you Ace Records for reading my mind and releasing a second volume of Brian Wilson songs covered by other artists because the first edition has never really left my CD player! Sandwiched in between two of my favorite alternative rock acts, Wall of Voodoo and The Pixies’ Frank Black, who both deliver edgy and somewhat-quirky versions of The Beach Boys’ classic “Do It Again” and the relatively obscure (unless you’re a SMiLE fanatic!) “Hang On To Your Ego” respectively, are twenty-two gems of covers by a wide array of different artists from five decades! The Rubinoos deliver a beautiful vocal on “Heroes and Villains” with very creative backing vocals and Mike Love’s Celebration, Jan & Dean and Bruce & Terry all do justice to different Beach Boys classics. Darian Sahanaja’s unique take on the obscure “I Wanna Pick You Up” is definitely a highlight of the album with its mix of Pet Sounds and SMiLE production while Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs give us a very emotional version of “The Warmth Of The Sun” very reminiscent of the original. Sean Macreavy then does the unthinkable by adding original lyrics and vocals to the instrumental “Let’s Go Away For A While” that actually work. I really like Fleetwood Mac’s relaxed version of “Farmer’s Daughter” and The King’s Singers “Please let Me Wonder” is very joyful sounding. Having always been a fan of Papa Doo Run Run’s Beach Boys covers, they can do no wrong with their version of  “Let Him Run Wild” while Steve Almaas and Ali Smith’s “The Lonely Sea” is a touching version of one of my all-time favorite Brian Wilson/Gary Usher compositions. Louis Philippe then takes us on a nice little trip to Hawaii with “Little Pad” and June & The Exit Wounds’ “All I Wanna Do” sounds like it could actually be on Sunflower! The Persuasion’s version of “Darlin’” reminds me of The Spinners while KGB’s “Sail On Sailor” with its new lyrics is just as soulful as the original sung by Blondie Chaplin. All in all, Do It Again! with its very-informative liner notes (thanks Kris Needs!) is a great collection of Brian Wilson covers and without any hesitation, I am requesting a volume three from Ace Records!
