Rolling Stone kündigt ein neues Brian Wilson-Album auf Oktober an. Es handelt sich dabei um ein Weihnachtsalbum mit vielen traditionellen Stücken, aber auch einigen neuen Kompositionen.
Bernie Taupin (Elton John's Lyricist) schrieb den Text für "What I Really Want for Christmas" und Jimmy Webb für "Christmasey".
Da Wilson mit der Promotion seines letzten Albums SMILE und Nonesuch Records total unzufrieden war, hat er sich für diese Veröffentlichung mit dem Giganten Clive Davis zusammengetan. Dieser hat Wilson nach dem Erfolg von SMILE aus heiterem Himmel einen Vertrag angeboten.

Former Beach Boy reprises "Nick" for October release
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas for rock legend Brian Wilson. The former Beach Boy will release What I Really Want for Christmas, his first holiday-themed solo album, on October 18th.
"Christmas has always been a special time for me and my family," Wilson says. "And this year will be even more special because I'll have a new album of songs to celebrate the holiday season. I hope the music means as much to other people as it does to me."
The title track features lyrics by longtime Elton John collaborator Bernie Taupin, while Jimmy Webb ("Wichita Lineman," "Up-Up and Away") penned the words to "Christmasey." Wilson, who produced and arranged the album, revisits "Little Saint Nick" and "The Man With All the Toys," two chestnuts from 1964's The Beach Boys' Christmas Album, and tackles standards like "Auld Lang Syne," "Deck the Halls" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen."
