Jonesy Land re-records The Ronettes’ 'Be My Baby' with Gabrielle Dumas and the 'Soo’s Wrecking Crew'
Brian Wilson, creative mastermind and primary songwriter for The Beach Boys, heard the Phil Spector-produced “Be My Baby” by The Ronettes’ and had what we now recognize to be a breakdown.
“When I heard the song ‘Don’t Worry Baby’ for the first time, I didn’t really understand anything about production,” says Jones.“I soon discovered the Beach Boys song was actually an ode to the Ronettes’ Be My Baby.”For the now-local songwriter, musician, producer, and studio owner, it was a pivotal moment even though it would still be a few years before Jones started his own recording journey with a little Fostex 4-track recorder.
Fast forward to 2022, Jones decided to take his fascination further by trying to record a rendition of Be My Baby. Jones laid down the acoustics and pianos, then brought in Chris Johns on drums, Jay Case on bass guitar, Sheldon Jaaskelainen on strings, and Josh Norling and Vince Filetti on the horns. Jones himself, with his daughter Jett, and singers Storm Rausch, Isabelle Deady-Bell, and Madii Schomogyi completed the backing vocals.
