Fred Vail's "Cows In The Pasture"

Hi Everyone,

 

The legendary Fred Vail and I (Sam Parker) have been meeting regularly over the past few months, and he has graciously shared endless stories from his illustrious musical career. One of those stories is what leads us to this page…

 

Folklore has it that in the spring of 1970, Fred Vail and Brian Wilson co-produced a country record that never saw the light of day….that is until now!

 

Over 50 years in the making, Fred is ready to bring “Cows In The Pasture” from his vault to your ears. The record needs instrumental and background vocals as well as mixing and mastering to make it complete, and that is where we need help from music lovers like you.

 

We are asking the fans and friends of Fred Vail and Brian Wilson to help by contributing to the fund. With your contribution, we can finally finish a legend’s dream of cutting a country record for all to hear.
