Beach Boys' Brian Wilson To Release 'Spiritual' New Album

July 19, 2010
Beach Boys' Brian Wilson To Release 'Spiritual' New AlbumBeach Boys star Brian Wilson is set to release a new album of covers of songs by George Gershwin.

'Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin' is due to be released on September 6.

It was produced by Wilson and mixed by multi-Grammy Award winner Al Schmitt, and includes renditions of some of Gershwin's most famous songs.

The album also features two new songs - 'The Like in I Love You' and 'Nothing But Love' – crafted from never-before-published music by the composer.

“Along with Irving Berlin, Gershwin basically invented the popular song, but he did something more,” Brian Wilson said.

“He had a gift for melody that nobody has ever equalled, yet his music is timeless and always accessible. This is the most spiritual project I've ever worked on.”

'Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin' will also be released on special edition vinyl on August 24.

The tracklisting is:

  1. Rhapsody in Blue
  2. The Like in I Love You
  3. Summertime (from Porgy and Bess)
  4. I Loves You, Porgy (from Porgy and Bess)
  5. I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin (from Porgy and Bess)
  6. It Ain't Necessarily So (from Porgy and Bess)
  7. 'S Wonderful (from the Broadway musical “Funny Face, also used in MGM film “An American in Paris”)
  8. They Can't Take That Away from Me (used in the film "Shall We Dance" and nominated for Academy Award)
  9. Our Love is Here to Stay (from the film The Goldwyn Follies and MGM film An American in Paris)
  10. I've Got a Crush on You (used in Broadway shows Treasure Girl and Strike Up the Band)
  11. I Got Rhythm (from Broadway show Girl Crazy)
  12. Someone To Watch Over Me (from Broadway show Oh Kay!)
  13. Nothing But Love
