CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description The creative genius behind The Beach Boys' phenomenal hit recordings and the landmark album Pet Sounds, Brian Wilson is widely considered the greatest American-born popular music composer of the rock 'n' roll era. On this, his third solo release, the legendary artist returns to stellar melodic form with a disc's worth of original compositions and unforgettable performances. Superstar cuts include "City Blues," boasting lead guitar from Eric Clapton, "How Can We Still Be Dancing," spotlighting Elton?s vocals and boogie-woogie piano, and "A Friend Like You," written by Wilson for McCartney, and featuring guest vocals by Sir Paul himself! Also features several Brian Wilson/Andy Paley songwriting collaborations from the ?90s, including the title track and "Soul Searchin'," a moving duet with Brian and his late brother and fellow Beach Boy, Carl Wilson. Featuring artwork by Peter Blake, best known for creating the cover for Sgt. Pepper?s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and booklet includes complete lyrics and in-depth liner notes by Wilson historian, David Leaf. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsTepid at best. Dexbet | North East Kingdom | 03/19/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "I am a Brian Wilson Fan. Been a Beach Boys fan forever. I thought the "All Star Tribute to Brian Wilson" was out of this world - espesh the Billy Joel segment. This CD however is rather monotonous. It is difficult to listen to. I haven't listened to it all the way thru yet. Too boring. This CD is for Die Hard Brian Wilson Fans Only!! " It Grows On You Philip Brown | 05/10/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Listening to today's Brian Wilson is a surprising and uplifting experience. While the voice tremors a little, and sometime reaches for those notes, his musical sense is still exciting, warm and inventive. I find his work inspiring today becuase he actually survived the last 30 years, versus many of his peers who are now gone, tragically, taking their genius with them. This album has some great cuts on it, and while a first listen may leave you wondering, a second and third listen builds a comfort like a new shoe that just needs a little breaking in. This is a favorite CD of mine, and with some help from Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Elton John and even Carl Wilson, it is a happy keeper. I highly recommend it, and hope he'll release another soon. Brian has a great future, and I want to enjoy it." Lookingforward&back...allsmiles...nofrowns... L. A Cirillo | North of the Stars...South of the Sun | 02/04/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "great cd. fav songs Getting in Over My Head, and practically everything from Make a Wish onwards. The guest stars do a great job at what they do best ie E. John does his melodic rockpop cabaret piano thang; Clapton rocks and Wilson LETS him; McCartney brings his poppy se'f and doesnt overshadow Brian but complements him in the best sense of the word. A great sense of friendship is felt in each piece...
The album as awhole does so much by incorporating alot of the BB 40+ years of harmony and innovative instrumental compositions that Wilson has specialized since the latter half of the 60s. You have doowopish, rock, pop, jazz, countrywestern, carnivalesque influences all thrown together as only Wilson knows how...maybe even some beatlesque and latin jazz stuff there too... ...a terrific album that encomposses many infulences, yet Wilson makes it all so natural as only the greatest musicians can. Alot of american guitarists (as well as the beatles, led zep, even the who and the grateful dead, back in their prime...) do this kind of harmonious collage/combination of different musical styles to create something new and accessible...who says pop music cant have creative depth to it.. ...for me this was a great experience and after over a year I still enjoy it alot...thats what made me write this while listening to it right now, for the 2nd time today :-) Dont let Her Know is quite stunning..." |
