Mixed at Cherokee Studios, Hollywood, CA. Additional recording at Goodnight, L.A. (MCA Records) Stevie Nicks appears courtesy of Modern Records. "I love that," Benmont says. "That's one of Michael's tracks that he brought in and showed everybody how it went. He made me play the keyboards which I thought that he should do - partly out of laziness and partly because of his feel and his chords. It's a real heavy Beach Boys number. I think we had Phil Jones playing what may have been a bongo. Phil and Stan together made up the 'Caroline No' type rhythm that's being played. We cut it pretty much live and then overdubbed a few things, slowed the tape down, sped the piano up to do a few little flash things toward the end that you can barely hear, then got Stevie and Sharon in to sing on the back of it. I love that song, I think it's absolutely beautiful." "That's sort of Mike's tribute to Brian Wilson," Tom adds. "I loved it and worked really hard on that track. No one could hear it as a single. People had a mental picture of what we should sound like and if you played them something that didn't sound like 'Refugee' or 'American Girl' or 'Even the Losers', they were puzzled. I still go through that." | Appears On | |
