Southern California A musical love letter from Southern California, That Lucky Old Sun continues the awe-inspiring concept album journey that Brian Wilson first began four decades ago for The Beach Boys' 1966 classic, Pet Sounds, and has continued to evolve during his solo career, highlighted by his 2004 critically-acclaimed Brian Wilson Presents Smile. The album is narrated in transitional interludes spoken by Wilson as "That Lucky Old Sun," the storyteller.
