FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Al Jardine's "A Postcard From California" will be
release exclusively on iTunes, Tuesday, June 29, 2010.

Jardine, a founding member of the legendary Beach Boys, has been
working on the new album over the last few years. He will
be joined by some very special guests on this disc including his
former band-mates Brian Wilson, Mike Love, David Marks, Bruce Johnston,
his his two sons Matt and Adam Jardine, as well as Steve Miller,
Gerry Beckley & Dewey Bunnell of America, David Crosby, Neil Young,
Glen Campbell, Flea, Scott Mathews, Norton Buffalo Alec Baldwin
and more...

Jardine has said that the album will touch upon California's history,
climate and energy problems as well as various ecological topics. It also
revisits his #1 hit with the Beach Boys, "Help Me Rhonda" with additional
vocals by Steve Miller. A video of the song is posted on his web site,
www.AlJardine.com.

One of the songs, "Don't Fight The Sea" was recorded in the late 70s/80 for
a proposed environmentally themed solo album between Jardine and Mike Love,
but was never completed. Though the song was not intended for the Beach Boys, the guys were, nevertheless, happy to lend their voices to it.
It is a timely theme in this year of the Gulf oil spill, and global warming.

Throughout the years, Jardine has written and produced most of the
ecological and social-themed songs for Beach Boys albums, including
the "California Saga" suite from the group's 1973 Holland album,
"Don't Go Near the Water" and "Lookin' At Tomorrow."

Also appearing as a special guest in an impromptu video is actor Alec Baldwin,
who currently stars as Jack Donaghy on the hit NBC sitcom 30 Rock. On the track,
“Tidepool Interlude,” Baldwin is seen reading a moving tribute to California and its
natural beauty written by Stephen John Kalinich as Jardine produces the session.
The video will also be released on Jardine's web site and YouTube Tuesday, June 29.
