Brian Wilson Returns to Capitol Records / EMI, His Original Label Home

NEW STUDIO ALBUM, 'THAT LUCKY OLD SUN,' TO BE RELEASED SEPTEMBER 2 ON CD,
DELUXE CD/DVD, LIMITED EDITION VINYL & DIGITALLY
'You don't have to climb the Capitol tower, or play the Hollywood Bowl, if
there's a roll in your heart, and a rock in your soul...' (lyrics from That
Lucky Old Sun's 'California Role')

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., May 19 -- He is one of popular music's
most deeply revered figures, a legendary writer, producer, arranger and
performer of some of the most cherished music in rock history. Indeed, it
is no exaggeration to call Brian Wilson one of the most gifted and
influential pop composers of the last 50 years. Today, Wilson announces his
return to Capitol Records / EMI, his original label home. Wilson's new
studio recording, That Lucky Old Sun, will be released by Capitol/EMI on
CD, CD/DVD, limited edition vinyl and digitally on September 2 (September 1
internationally).

Brian Wilson's return to Capitol Records / EMI, where The Beach Boys
caught their first hit wave with the 1962 classic, "Surfin' Safari/409," is
a triumphant homecoming for one of the world's most gifted and beloved
musical talents.

"I'm thrilled to be back home with Capitol, and I'm looking forward to
sharing That Lucky Old Sun with everyone," says Brian Wilson. "This music
is really special to me."

"We are delighted to be working with Brian Wilson for his new album,
That Lucky Old Sun," says Guy Hands, Executive Chairman of EMI Music. "We
all remember the feeling we got when we first heard The Beach Boys' music.
My particular favorite classic is 'Surfer Girl.' It always reminds me of
driving an open top car down the Pacific Coast Highway from Santa Barbara
to Malibu. Brian Wilson is an iconic talent with enormous musical influence
all over the world and we are very proud to be representing him."

A musical love letter from Southern California, That Lucky Old Sun
shimmers with sun-dappled choruses and arrangements that swell and swirl as
if carried by the Pacific tides. One of the songs, "Midnight's Another
Day," has been described by MOJO magazine as "glorious." The album is
narrated in transitional interludes spoken by Wilson as 'That Lucky Old
Sun,' the storyteller. The narratives, cameos on life and the heartbeat of
Los Angeles, propel the album's musical story.

Last summer, Wilson found himself singing the 1949 classic song, "That
Lucky Old Sun," which became the inspiration for a unique approach to what
would become his next studio release. He bought Louis Armstrong's version
of the track and was inspired to collaborate lyrically with his band mate
Scott Bennett, and with Van Dyke Parks, his old 'sidekick,' to create
vibrant spoken narratives. Wilson debuted That Lucky Old Sun at London's
Royal Festival Hall in September 2007 in a series of six sold-out and
critically-acclaimed concert performances celebrating the theatre's
restoration.

Wilson describes That Lucky Old Sun as an "interwoven series of
'rounds' with interspersed spoken word," and as an autobiographical
travelogue of sorts. The new studio album is produced by Wilson and was
created with his acclaimed band at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, where he
first recorded in 1962.

The new release is the dawning of a new California morning for Brian
Wilson, continuing the awe-inspiring concept album journey that he first
began four decades ago. Wilson's songwriting, arranging and producing
talents came together in harmonious glory for The Beach Boys' 1966 classic,
Pet Sounds, and have continued to evolve during his solo career,
highlighted by his 2004 critically acclaimed Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE.
Lyrically and in Wilson's incomparably lush, evocative arrangements, That
Lucky Old Sun adds a new chapter to Wilson's conceptual presentations,
reaching ever higher with his vibrant and moving autobiographical
storytelling and intricate harmonies.

Following numerous nominations, Wilson won a well-deserved Grammy Award
for Best Rock Instrumental Performance (2004) for "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow" and
he was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006. Last December, he
was feted as a leading cultural icon by The Kennedy Center Honors alongside
Diana Ross, Martin Scorsese, Steve Martin and Leon Fleisher.

Brian Wilson and his band will perform a number of his classic hits and
compositions at select North American and UK concerts this summer.

NEIL DIAMOND

Home Before Darkness (Columbia): B-

Haystack Rubin is attempting to do for Baseball diamond what he did for Johnny Reb John Cash with the “American Recordings” series. Problem is, Diamond doesn’t scintillate in the roughly like Johnny Cash.
Long maligned as a hopeless cheeseball and equally celebrated as an underappreciated wizardry, Diamond proves he’s both on his second austere, acoustic, Rubin-produced album. One-half the songs ar gems seething with real emotional honesty, among them “Roleplay Like a Valet de chambre,” the Natalie Maines duet “Another Day,” and the jaunty, cleaned-up hillbilly arrangement of “Forgotten.”
The other half? Corny to the core. Reckon “The Major power of II,” where with the strut and bluster of Henry Martyn Robert Goulet on a three-day inebriate, Rhombus sings, “Like a microbe that’s stuck in a bowl/Climbing out’s impossible yet/He keeps trying harder.” Yes, he’s made a male bug’s Sisyphean undertaking a metaphor for his hunting for dear. Belly laugh. You topper download “Forgotten” - and and then break come out “Hot August Night” to get gear up for Diamond’s Aug. 23 Fenway Park [represent] show up.
