Al Jardine of the Beach Boys on Doing a Rare Solo Project, ‘Islands in the Sun,’ and Fronting Brian Wilson’s Road Band for Upcoming Tour (EXCLUSIVE)
Beach Boy Al Jardine talks about his new EP, 'Islands in the Sun,' working with Neil Young and Flea, and a tour fronting Brian Wilson's former band.
Other guests include fellow Beach Boy Bruce Johnston and son Matt Jardine, who handles some lead vocals in the touring unit. Instead of doing country-Western…” But it was a star-studded country album, so it was the wrong time to release “Islands in the Sun.” We happened to be in the studio, and we cut it in about five minutes and went home, and it stayed on the shelf. Plus, I’ll be singing Mike’s lead on “Roller Skating Child,” and my son Matt will do “The Night Was So Young.” Darian Sahanaja, the musical director, wants to do “Johnny Carson,” of all things.
