Dennis Wilson - Morning Christmas
If you like Christmas music then you'll love the mp3hugger curated Christmas compilation 'An Indiecater Christmas', you can buy it here!
First off I'd like to thank Mike Cleare of My Brother Woody for giving me the heads up on this lost Dennis Wilson gem. You’ll look for the longest time before you’ll find a seasonal tune offering such soul and depth. Hardly surprising given that Wilson was a founding member of the Beach Boys. He recorded 2 solo albums before his untimely death in 1983 but only his debut ‘Pacific Ocean Blue’ was ever given an official release. The follow up ‘Bamboo’ never saw the light of day, which seems rather odd given the continued love affair with the Beach Boys. ‘Morning Christmas’ was recorded during those ‘Bamboo’ sessions and is characterised by Wilson’s sensitive piano led harmonies. The church bells add seasonality and the lyrics describe a joyous rhapsody of the simple things that make this time of year so special. KD

Nice find, nothing like having some yuletide cheer with a friend of Charlie (manson that is)
Happy X-Mas
ha ha. I was reading about the Mansun connection just the other day. Really bizarre, by the confused nature of the story there seems to have been a lot said unsaid.
ha! deadly stuff
