In late 1978, Mike Love made his first attempts at a solo album, recording First Love and Country Love simultaneously. Only one song has been released from these sessions, "Brian's Back", on the 1998 compilation album Endless Harmony. Recently, Love has recorded another album, first titled Unleash The Love, which then changed to Mike Love, Not War. One song from this album has also been released, "Cool Head, Warm Heart", in 2006 on Songs from Here & Back, a Beach Boys album which was only available at Hallmark stores. "Cool Head, Warm Heart" has been performed by The Beach Boys in concert.
