Product Description
From Amazon.com
It took 10 years and more tummy-tuck coverage than the average fan might have wanted, but Wilson Phillips is back, its taut three-part harmonies intact. Concept album California couldn't have been a difficult record to make--the daughters of Beach Boy Brian Wilson (Carnie and Wendy) and the Mamas and the Papas' John and Michelle Phillips (Chynna) grew up on these canyon-deep, left coast-leaning hits. Surprisingly, though, it's not their parents' songs--"Monday Monday" and "In My Room" among them--that Wilson Phillips make soar. Instead, they stomp off with the Eagles' "Already Gone" (covered twice here, once as a hidden track) and opener "You're No Good," the Linda Ronstadt classic, skewing the songs in their favor, making what was once rich and earthy seem pop-sweet. The sun-drenched perkiness pervading these tracks may be standard Wilson Phillips, but credit legendary producer Peter Asher with maintaining a sandcastle-smooth sound throughout. --Tammy La Gorce

You call this a comeback????,

This review is from: California (W/1 Bonus Track) (Audio CD)
Come one Wilson Phillips! I figured after taking a 11-year leave, you would be coming out with some of your own material instead of 60s remakes! I thought you had enough time to plan your comeback album! I know you can do MUCH better! Nice Try, Wilson Phillips!

This review is from: California (W/1 Bonus Track) (Audio CD)
I enjoyed the early 90's albums by Wilson Phillips, and was so happy to hear they would be recording another album. Though I wasn't too thrilled that it would be a covers LP, I was pleasantly surprised with the music. This is a cd I would recommend for driving and relaxing at home - very mellow arrangements and nice vocals. Carnie Wilson continues to be my favorite member, as her rendition of "Get Together" is fabulous. I love her velvety low range, as opposed to Chynna and Wendy's "girlish" voices, as another reviewer called them. The modern version of "Turn! Turn! Turn!" is relaxing, and the updated version of "Monday Monday" rocks - I wouldn't be surprised if that cover ends up on a movie soundtrack someday soon, because it sounds fitting. Overall, a nice buy. I know Carnie has a solo LP due soon (if it's not already out), and since this album is selling decently, maybe we'll have all new original material on their 4th studio album!
