Taylor Hawkins: Living Saint

Foo Fighters drummer and mensch Taylor Hawkins sings the lead vocal on "Holy Man," a Dennis Wilson solo track left unfinished at the tine of the Beach Boys legend's tragic death.





Being a Southern California surfer dude himself, I guess Hawkins kind of related to Dennis. In any case, a beautiful job (originally released on the 2008 Sony reissue of Wilson's 1977 masterpiece, Pacific Ocean Blue).

Gem finds like this is the reason I keep returning to your blog again and again. This is a wonderful release I had not been familiar with but was the one my soul needed to hear.

Foo's drummer is a hell of a rock and roll singer. Grohl should let him sing more.
