 YOU THE MAN BRIAN....WELCOME BACK BRIAN....A NICE RECORDING............
Submitted on: 2007-01-17 |

| Beautiful recording by Brian Wilson. Some may consider it boring and slow, but I dont. Brian may still be getting his recording knack back and hopefully he will be doing more recordings to enhace his skills. Brians duets with Paul McCartney, Elton John, Carl Wilson,and Eric Clapton are simply splendid vocally. "Soul Searchin" with brother Carl Wilson is my favorite on this cd. "A Friend Like You" with McCartney is a nice classy duet both vocally and harmonically. "Rainbow Eyes" a nice Psychedelic trip back to Brians heyday of the 1960s."Saturday Morning In The City","You've Touched Me" and "Gettin In Over My Head" are all great songs, nicely written and hold up vocally despite Brians older voice. I like every track on this cd and I can't stop listening to it. I admitt Brian could still hold his own vocally. For those who consider this recording boring and slow, I look at it this way, hopefully Brian will make more recordings and excercise his amazing skills for even better music. Highly recommended listening for Brian Wilson fans, Beach Boy fans and music fans in general. WELCOME BACK BRIAN EVERYONE MISSED YOU!!!!!!!!!!! |

| 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. |

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!!

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... |

 A credit to Brian

| This album is a great listen for all Brian Wilson fans. It just makes you proud of being a fan of his and must make him proud having songs on it collaborating with the likes of Elton John, Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney. And especially with his late brother, Carl. Gettin In Over My Head has all the ballads and pop songs that we love about Brian. A fantastic listen. |
