Executive Producer Michael Love

Band line-up
Mike Love
Brian Wilson
Carl Wilson
Al Jardine
Bruce Johnston
with Matt Jardine

This 1995 album in which country singers perform Beach Boys hits, with the band acting as backing vocalists, was disliked at first by many fans. However, while some tracks aren't quite up to standard, some (particularly Caroline, No and Warmth Of the Sun) are absolutely beautiful, this is the first Beach Boys album since the Beach Boys album of '85 to feature Brian's full and active participation and the first since the MIU album where he played an active role in the production, and will lamentably now be the last album of new recordings to feature Carl Wilson.
