This session marked the beginning of the so-called 'Wilson Project', a reunion of Brian and Gary Usher under the aegis of Landy, the apparent intent being for Usher to get Brian in shape to complete a solo album - with another producer, however. The period is accurately, and wholly depressingly, chronicled in Stephen J. McParland's excellent book The Wilson Project, which draws heavily on the tapes and notes Usher kept during the collaboration. It is required reading. |
