Song of the Day-She Knows Me Too Well

Song of the Day today is a cover version by Jeffrey Foskett. Jeffrey is a vital cog in the Brian Wilson band, soon to be serving as the Beach Boys backup band on their reunion tour. I have also included the video for the Beach Boys remake of their 1969 hit "Do It Again" for which Jeff provides the sturdy falsetto. Jeffrey has recorded 3-4 albums of very fine, Beach Boys influenced pop and rock. He has worked in collaboration, not only with Brian Wilson but Gerry Beckley of America, local hero Marshall Crenshaw, and others too numerous to list here. "She Knows Me Too Well"  is a song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love and first featured on their classic 1965 "Beach Boys Today" release. It was the B-side of "When I Grow Up (To Be
A Man)".

On a personal note, I have had the privilege of meeting Jeff on two occasions, the first time back in the 80s when Jeff was a member of the Beach Boys backup band and the second was backstage at the Brian Wilson show in Ann Arbor a couple years ago. Jeff is one of the nicer guys I have met in the music business. His affection for Brian Wilson is unmistakable. The only question Jeff couldn't answer for me was when we would be seeing more Jeff Foskett music! Here's hoping he gets back in the studio and provides us with more fine recordings.
