NPR.org, December 17, 2008 - It's fair to say that this music, recorded live at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C., is the best new material from Brian Wilson in more than 30 years.That Lucky Old Sun is a song cycle based on a tune with its spiritual roots in slavery.
That song is about hardship, but this semi-autobiographical work is about nostalgia — what life in California means to Wilson and what Wilson means to California.
