Stars & Stripes vol 1

created by Stealth Munchkin

The last Beach Boys album ever is this 1996 album of remakes of old classics, with the band acting as backing vocalists for country music 'stars'.

While the album is produced by Brian Wilson (vocals) and Joe Thomas (instruments), the concept was Mike Love's, and he gets executive producer credits.

The band sound fine, although they're hampered by middle of the road arrangements, and there are one or two gorgeous moments (Warmth Of The Sun and Caroline, No are staggering), but in general one has to wonder why they wasted their time doing this when they could have been recording new songs.

Within two years, Carl Wilson was dead, and the Beach Boys, except as a touring name for Mike Love, were no more...
