Wilson, Brian - At My Piano CD (Mega Blowout Sale)
SKU
23-Decca 383
“As the songwriter responsible for the sounds that all but define several eras of American music, Brian Wilson is one of the few artists who can return to the highlights of their catalog again and again without it becoming too tedious. At My Piano finds the iconic Beach Boys founder reworking some of his best-loved tunes as spare piano instrumentals, with a set list that includes four Pet Sounds compositions, songs from the Beach Boys' early surf-obsessed days, and selections from Wilson's solo albums. Ubiquitous melodies like those from "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "California Girls," or "Good Vibrations" are light and easygoing in stripped-down piano form, peeling back Wilson's tendency for dense arrangements and allowing the tenderness, joy, and naïveté of his songwriting to come to the forefront. Less celebrated songs like "Friends" or the crushingly melancholic "Till I Die" sound great in their somber piano renditions as well, showing how Wilson's essence as a songwriter was present in his hits and non-hits alike.”-AllMusic
