The quintessential signature sounds of Brian Wilson (co-founding member of the Beach Boys), elegantly combined with the timeless classic melodies of some of the most revered songs from George and Ira Gershwin.
Brian Wilson has re-recorded and re-imagined twelve classic songs from the Gershwin Brothers and collaborated on two new Wilson/Gershwin compositions. The Gershwin estate gave Wilson access to rare, unfinished pieces of music by George Gershwin, with which Brian crafted collaborative compositions unlike anything the world has heard with "The Like in I Love You" and "Nothing But Love". Wilson chose to record George and Ira Gershwin songs because he considers the late composers of classics like "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Rhapsody in Blue" and "Summertime" as a critical influence on him.
Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin was produced by Brian Wilson and mixed by Al Schmitt the 15-time GRAMMY® award winner (Michael Bublé, Ray Charles, Barbra Streisand, Madonna) read more..

Such An Amazing cd by darius de carlo
When I heard that Brian's next project was with Disney doing covers, so to speak, of Gershwin songs, I frankly didn't know quite what to think. Was this going to be just another Rod Stewart trip which I personally never could figure out the appeal, I hoped against hope that wasn't going to be the case with Brian. When I received my cd and started playing it from the first note of Rhapsody I knew my concerns were for not. This guy blows my mind. How does he continue to do that at age 68? He could have stopped years ago and lived on his glory days with the Beach Boys, but apparently as we've all seen in the last ten years that was not in the cards for Mr. Wilson. Music is clearly in his sole and as he has said time and time again inspired by George Gershwin. Well, Mr. Wilson you have done Mr. Gershwin proud, you have done yourself proud, and for the most part from what I have been reading you have done your fans proud. I would love to see BWRG receive multiple Grammy's but I have my doubts since the Grammy's don't mean that much these days. Anyway, for anyone reading this review who hasn't already bought this delightful cd, do yourself and favor and get it ASAP. You will not be disappointed!
