After dissolving his relationship with Landy, Brian phoned Sire Records staff producer Andy Paley to collaborate on new material tentatively for the Beach Boys. After losing the songwriting credits lawsuit with Love, Brian told MOJO in February 1995: “Mike and I are just cool. There’s a lot of shit Andy and I got written for him. I just had to get through that goddamn trial!” In April, it was unclear whether the project would turn into a Wilson solo album, a Beach Boys album, or a combination of the two. The project ultimately disintegrated. Instead, Brian and his bandmates recorded Stars and Stripes Vol. 1 , an album of country music stars covering Beach Boys songs, with co-production helmed by River North Records owner Joe Thomas . After the release, Brian would get completely estranged from the band and would not collaborate with the band until 2011.
