The piano stylings of Brian Wilson spotlighted on new album from Beach Boys' songwriter
Brian Wilson's new album, out Nov. 18, is titled At My Piano, and features instrumental performances of solo and Beach Boys tunes.
Info:
The musical legend returns to his rich catalogue of hits and performs these historically popular songs in their purest form – just Brian, alone with his piano.
The lead single, Brian’s new soothing rendition of the classic "God Only Knows," is available to listen to now.
At My Piano is a deeply relaxing collection of memorable songs that include: "God Only Knows," "Wouldn’t it Be Nice," "California Girls," "Love and Mercy," "Good Vibrations" and many more, performed with the lucid clarity that a solo piano composition creates. A perfect album for sunsets and golden days.
“We had an upright piano in our living room and from the time I was 12 years old I played it each and every day. I never had a lesson, I was completely self-taught. I can’t express how much the piano has played such an important part in my life. It as bought me comfort, joy and security. It has fueled my creativity as well as my competitive nature.
I play it when I’m happy or feeling sad. I love playing for people and I love playing alone when no one is listening.
Honestly, the piano and the music I create on it has probably saved my life.”
– Brian Wilson
