HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE TWO NEW SONGS WILSON CRAFTED FROM PREVIOUSLY UNPUBLISHED GEORGE
GERSHWIN MUSIC
Brian Wilson |
It's an unprecedented meeting of two legendary musical minds, separated by 70 years. Pioneering musical genius
Brian Wilson, co-founder
of The Beach Boys, has teamed up
with George Gershwin, in
Wilson's Disney Pearl debut CD, Brian Wilson Reimagines
Gershwin.
Featuring timeless classics like "Rhapsody in Blue," "I've Got Rhythm" and "Summertime," the album makes history
with "The Like in I Love You" and "Nothing But Love," two new songs Wilson crafted from never-before-published
music by Gershwin. Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin arrives at stores and online retailers on August 17,
with a special vinyl edition set for release August 24.
Produced by Brian Wilson, mixed by multi-Grammy® winner Al Schmitt and joined by his longtime acclaimed band,
the new album features the trademark stacked vocal harmonies and orchestrations that made Wilson a towering and
revered figure in popular music. Songs include his Gershwin favorites, such as "Summertime," "I Loves You Porgy," "I
Got Plenty of Nothin'" and "It Ain't Necessarily So" (all from the opera "Porgy and Bess"), "S'Wonderful," "I've Got a
Crush on You," and "They Can't Take That Away From Me." An a capella version of the groundbreaking 1924
orchestral piece "Rhapsody in Blue," showcasing Wilson's stunning vocal harmonies, opens and closes the
album.
