Former Beach Boy Al Jardine recruited an impressive group of
all-star friends to be part of his new solo album.
which he plans
to release in early summer.
Neil Young, Brian Wilson, Steve Miller, Stephen Stills, Red Hot
Chili Peppers bassist Flea and Glen Campbell all guest on "Post
Card From California," which includes a mix of original songs and
"a Beach Boys standard or two," including "Help Me, Rhonda."
"They've all been great," Jardine told Billboard.com about his
guests while attending the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction
ceremony Saturday in Cleveland. "Steve Miller flew up, diverted his
jet to Monterey to be on it. (Young) wanted to play but the track
was done. But he was very generous; we spent all day on it."
Jardine described the album as a conceptual piece, "a travelogue
for California. It actually takes you through the experience of
being there in that environment and driving up Coast Route 1. It's
kinda cool."
Stylistically he calls it "post-Beach Boy...easy listening. In the
aftershock of what we've been through, it's gonna be real nice to
get into that California feeling."
Jardine is still looking for a distributor for the album but
expects to have one soon.
