....................... ALBUM NOTES: ..................................
Personnel: Brian Wilson (vocals, keyboards); Brian Wilson ; Probyn Gregory (vocals, whistling, guitar, whistle, brass); Nelson Bragg (vocals, whistling, whistle, percussion); Jeffrey Foskett (vocals, guitar, hammer dulcimer); Scott Bennett (vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion); Scott Bennett (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Darian Sahanaja (vocals, keyboards, percussion); Andreas Forsman (violin); Eric Holm (viola); Anna Landberg, Markus Sandlund (cello); Stockholm Strings and Horns (strings, horns); Viktor Sand (flute, clarinet, saxophone); Bj”rn Samuelsson (trombone); Staffan Findin (bass trombone); Dave Stone (acoustic bass, acoustic bass guitar); Jim Hines (drums, percussion, sound effects, musical saw); Nick Walusko (vocals, guitar); Taylor Mills (vocals, sound effects); Paul Mertens (harmonica, woodwinds, saxophone, electronics); Bob Lizik (bass guitar).Audio Mixer: Mark Linett.Liner Note Author: David Leaf.Recording information: Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA (04/13/2004-04/17/2004).Photographers: Melinda Jean Wilson; Guy Webster; Jasper Dailey.Unknown Contributor Roles: Jeffrey Foskett; Probyn Gregory.Arranger: Brian Wilson .Between 1967 and 2004, the SMILE sessions were pretty much the Dead Sea Scrolls of pop music. Well documented as head Beach Boy Brian Wilson's answer to the Beatles' masterpiece SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (which was itself largely an answer to the Beach Boys' PET SOUNDS), the tracks laid down in '67 for the projected SMILE album were the furthest afield anyone nominally operating under the pop/rock umbrella had ever ventured. Notoriously, intraband conflict (Mike Love, in particular, found the Wilson/Van Dyke Parks-penned conceptual work too far out) kept the record from being released. With several oceans' worth of water under the bridge, Wilson finally decided to finish the aborted project three-and-a-half decades later, adhering closely to the original blueprints. The results are as timelessly breathtaking as the original version must have been to the lucky few who first heard the initial tapes.With sterling support from his backing band the Wondermints, Wilson meticulously pieced together the conceptual, orchestral puzzle of SMILE into a rewarding, cohesive whole. Even decades down the line, it still sounds miles away from anything else in the world of popular music. A series of extended vignettes tied together with seamlessly arranged melodic latticework, SMILE is a masterpiece that incorporates the influences of gospel, ancient hymns, Charles Ives-style avant-garde experimentalism, barbershop-quartet harmony, Stephen Foster, and more, in a churning cauldron of lush Americana. Strings, harpsichord, and a wide palette of orchestral percussion are just as important as drums and guitars, though traces of the PET SOUNDS sonic stew can be heard here as well. A triumph of the will for Wilson and a victory for art and humanity, SMILE bears--among many other things--an extremely appropriate title. ..................

Best Rock Instrumental Performance.............
Mrs. O'Leary's Cow.............

Smile is inarguably the most long awaited album in modern pop history. It’s been more than 37 years since the title first appeared on a label release schedule, intended as the January 1967 follow-up to the groundbreaking art-rock of the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds. Some 400,000 Smile record jackets and booklets were printed; ads were taken out in Billboard and teen magazines; admiring journalists were allowed into the studio to observe what Wilson and his precocious lyricist arranger, the 22-year-old Van Dyke Parks, were so fastidiously creating. "Good Vibrations" was a harbinger of this concept album to come: a stunningly arranged, spiritually uplifting, goose-bump-inducing "pocket symphony," in Wilson’s words, that became, in 1966, the Beach Boys’ first million-selling single, topping the charts in both the U.S. and the U.K. After Leonard Bernstein heard Wilson perform a solo piano version of "Surf’s Up," an elegant and impressionistic ballad also destined for Smile, he deemed the song "an important contribution to 20th Century music" and hailed Wilson’s gifts as a major composer..............

But Smile never made its initial release date, delays mounted along with the pressure, and the project as Wilson had originally envisioned it was finally abandoned. Until now, Smile was, as Newsweek declared, "the most famous pop music album never released." The complicated circumstances surrounding its withdrawal have inspired documentary films, book-length investigations and at least one critically acclaimed novel, Paul Quarrington’s "Whale Music." Tantalizing bits and pieces of Smile have surfaced on subsequent Beach Boys albums; a global network of song-swapping fans cobbled together their own wishful-thinking versions of this seemingly lost masterpiece..............

In 2003, a rejuvenated Wilson, encouraged by performing Pet Sounds live, finally decided to revive Smile, at least in concert form, backed by the enthusiastic young musicians he’d been touring with and helped behind the scenes by Parks. Fans from around the world gathered at London’s Royal Festival Hall on February 20, 2004 for this momentous event, fearing it might be the only opportunity to hear the completed piece. To call the performance a triumph might be an understatement; as a critic for London’s independent raved, "We knew we’d witnessed a miracle of sorts.".............

Buoyed by this reception, Wilson returned with his stage band to Sunset Sound in Hollywood, where he’d originally cut portions of "Good Vibrations" and "Heroes and Villains," to create a definitive studio recording of Smile. The resulting album is not a mere reconstruction of past performances, but something entirely new, a serious summation of a project that has been gestating for nearly four decades, by an artist who has surmounted years of personal and professional struggle. It’s also an unexpected gift to all who kept the dream of Smile alive. The music and message couldn’t have come at a better time. As the Los Angeles Times put it in a front-page review of its London premiere, Smile "makes perhaps the most persuasive argument for the ‘hippie dream’ of the ‘60s: that music and love really do have the power to transform the world.".............

"...Brian Wilson's three-part suite has finally been recorded with a top-notch band, as Wilson had originally intended. Beach Boys fans will appreciate the silky vocal harmonies and Van Dyke Parks' borderline-silly lyrics. Those who never understood Wilson's genius will discover a carefully crafted and ingeniously orchestrated gumbo that coheres without a trace of rough edge, dead spot, or spurious fluff, just as the best classical and jazz orchestral works do." - Robert J. Reina, Stereophile, February 2005 .............
