Oct 4, 2010Of course not his best work ever, but is a work of love. This shines through most of this album. Despite some shortcomings, it is an educational piece of work. A look into the great musicial minds of George Gershwin an Brian Wilson.

This album finds Wilson clearly invigorated by material he feels an affinity with; thankfully, he's not so precious that he can't flood it with sea salt, sunshine and all the qualities that make his music individual.

You can't help but ask: Is Brian Wilson the baby-boomer George Gershwin? Or was Gershwin the first Beach Boy?

With varying degrees of success he turns the melodies into post-Beach Boys pop with stacked harmonies performed in a barbershop tradition that erases vocal individuality for the sake of a creamy harmonic blend.
