Wilson Phillips hits the ‘Highway’
After more than a decade away from the recording studio, second-generation pop supergroup Wilson Phillips is re-exploring its roots.
In May, the trio ó Brian Wilson’s daughters Carnie and Wendy, and John and Michelle Phillips’ daughter, Chynna ó will release Pacific Coast Highway, their first CD of new material since 1992’s Shadows and Light. As its title suggests, the new album, which will be the band’s first for Columbia Records, has a West Coast theme.
The California girls will pay homage to their parents by covering the Beach Boys’ In My Room and the Mamas and the Papas’ Monday Monday. Songs made famous by Linda Ronstadt (You’reNo Good), Fleetwood Mac (Go Your Own Way), Jackson Browne and The Eagles will also appear.
Veteran producer Peter Asher, whose previous clients include Ronstadt, James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt, will produce the collection, and papa Brian Wilson is scheduled for a guest spot.
