The story of Stars & Stripes:
Brian had trouble getting cooperation about doing the "Paley/Wilson"
material. Melinda loved Willie Nelson's voice and was a
fan of his. She suggested to Brian that perhaps Willie would
do a good job on the song Warmth Of The Sun. David Leaf
was asked or volunteered to make the deal with Willie's
people and pave the way. He did so, with Brian to do production
and backing vocal work. Mike Love caught wind of the proposed
collaboration. He approached Bri and Mel through BRI about
the BBs doing a whole album, and using an MOR/AC co producer
named Joe Thomas, who had, had some success, reviving old
rock n rollers, fading careers. The idea was to use BB songs
and various c/w/ac artists with the "boys" on
backing vocals. The deals were "cut" and so was
the cd. The rest is history.
The Don Was stuff and the first country session happened
around the same time, fall of 1995 or so ("Baywatch
Nights" was a few months earlier). It jumped pretty
quickly from Don Was sessions to Joe Thomas sessions.
