Title: Easy, breezy, delicious
Product review: Wilson Phillips is back again with "California," an album that covers songs all about or from their native state. As on their other albums, the harmonies are crisp, clean and filled with light--no surprise, since the three have been singing together since childhood.A couple of the tracks are uninspired, but others are a lovely surprise. "Go Your Own Way" is transformed from Fleetwood Mac's propulsive "go to hell" version into something filled with melancholy, tenderness and heartache. "In My Room" sounds just as gorgeous here as it did when the Beach Boys recorded it, and in fact, Papa Brian Wilson sits in on piano and vocals.Carnie Wilson is a delight on "Old Man" and "Get Together"--the caramel richness of her voice is appropriately dark for these two songs and on the rest of the album, she anchors the soaring, more lightweight voices of her sister Wendy and of Chynna Phillips. The album is fluff--it's sweet--it's lightweight--but it's also lovely to listen to.
