Brian Wilson, That Lucky Old Sun (Capitol)
Former Beach Boy Brian Wilson turns loose his 10th studio record, a concept album to rival 2004's Smile in size and scope.
A celebration of life in SoCal, Lucky Old Sun is said to recall themes from his Beach Boys days, as Smile itself did in harkening back to the incomplete 1960s opus.
Wilson played the album during a series of concerts in London last year. It also was released two weeks early on a limited-edition vinyl pressing.
