NEIL YOUNG Duets With Beach Boy AL JARDINE On Romantic Gem ‘MY PLANE LEAVES TOMORROW (AU REVOIR)’

Posted on by JL

Reveries for the laziest day of the week

1 June 2025

AL JARDINE, the now 82-year-old, former beach boy co-vocalist/co-founder
has no plans to retire. He just released a 4-track EP titled Islands In The Sun .

It’s his first new music since his 2010 LP, named
A Postcard From California. Actually his only
solo album.

It features two tunes written by Jardine himself, and two reworked
versions of The Coasters’ Leiber/Stoller classics ‘Smokey Joe’s Café’ and
‘Crumple Car’.

One of the two Jardine written songs, a romantic tearjerker named MY PLANE LEAVES TOMORROW (AU REVOIR) features vocals by living legend Neil Young and a short trumpet moment by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea. Their parts were already recorded during the ‘Posctard From California’ sessions, but Jardine only finished the song recently.

Have a listen. It’s a beauty.

The whole EP is a nostalgic beauty.

Album artwork

Entrancing songstress ST. VINCENT (born Anne Clarke, 41 years ago in
Oklahoma) has her 7th LP, called All Born Screaming out on April 26.

Clarke: “If you’re born screaming, that’s a great sign. Because it means you’re
breathing. You’re alive. My god. It’s joyous. And then it’s also a protest. We’re all
born in protest in a certain way. It’s terrifying to be alive, it’s ecstatic to be alive.
It’s everything.”

A couple of weeks ago we could dance to the disco doozie named Broken Man.
On the second taster, titled FLEA, foo fighter Dave Grohl hits the drums.

Here we go.
