paragraph_text: Lawsuits, documentary, and collaborative albums
  
  Throughout the 1990s, Wilson was embroiled in numerous lawsuits. In August 1989, he had filed a $100 million suit against Irving Music to reclaim song publishing rights sold by his father decades earlier. He did not regain the rights, but secured a $10 million ($ 20.6 million in 2024) out-of-court settlement in April 1992. The next month, Wilson was sued by Mike Love over long-neglected royalties and songwriting credits. In December 1994, a jury ruled in favor of Love, awarding him $5 million ($ 10.6 million in 2024) and a share of future royalties from Wilson. In September 1995, Wilson sued his former conservator, Jerome Billet, seeking $10 million for alleged failures in supervising the lawyers handling the Irving Music and Love lawsuits. According to his second wife Melinda, when they married in 1995, Wilson was entangled in nine separate lawsuits, many unresolved until the early 2000s.
  
  Wilson's productivity had increased significantly after his disassociation from Landy. He and Andy Paley composed and recorded a substantial body of material intended for a proposed Beach Boys album throughout the early to mid-1990s. Concurrently, Wilson collaborated with musician Don Was on the documentary Brian Wilson: I Just Wasn't Made for These Times (1995), whose soundtrack—comprising rerecorded Beach Boys songs—was released in August as his second solo album.
  
  In 1993, Wilson agreed to record an album of songs by Van Dyke Parks, which was credited to the duo and released as Orange Crate Art in October 1995. In the late 1990s, Wilson and Tony Asher rekindled their writing partnership, and one of their songs, "Everything I Need", appeared on The Wilsons (1997)—a project by his daughters Carnie and Wendy that included select contributions from Wilson.
