For Volume 2 of this “Covered” collection, covering the years 1980 to 2001, we begin to move firmly into Brian Wilson’s "influential songwriter" era. During the early and mid-1990s, his work started to gain broader recognition as something far greater than simply a catalog of breezy pop songs. One important factor was the release of the excellent "Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of The Beach Boys" box set in 1993, which included several rare recordings from the legendary (and then still unreleased) "Smile" album, along with material from other overlooked chapters of the Beach Boys’ story. The set helped spark renewed interest in both Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys' musical legacy.
By the late 1990s, a wide range of tribute albums began appearing, recorded by younger generations of musicians eager to acknowledge Brian’s influence. Indie artists such as Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo, and Adventures in Stereo demonstrated a genuine affection for his music, helping introduce it to new audiences. This volume also offers a first glimpse of the Wondermints, who would later become Brian Wilson’s backing band and play a crucial role in bringing a modern version of "Smile" to life in the early 2000s.
