The record company (Decca) brought the idea to us and it seemed interesting. Where did the inspiration come from to revisit these songs with just piano and no vocals?īrian: Well, it wasn’t my idea. It includes a new song by Brian co-written with My Morning Jacket's Jim James. Also out today on streaming services (including Amazon Prime and Google Play) is the new Brian Wilson documentary from director Brent Wilson (no relation) and Rolling Stone editor Jason Fine, Long Promised Road. The album is out today and you can stream it below. Even all these years later, there's something wondrous about the way Brian plays these songs. Especially if you're already a big Beach Boys fan, it's a treat to hear these familiar melodies in a new way. Instrumental piano versions of classic songs might not seem like the most exciting thing on paper, but this is actually a gorgeous album.
Brian Wilson has just released At My Piano, an album of instrumental, solo piano versions of Beach Boys classics, including big hits like "God Only Knows," "In My Room," "California Girls," "Wouldn't It Be Nice," and "Good Vibrations," as well as a Smile medley and some more underrated songs like "Till I Die" and "Friends" (the latter of which Brian calls one of his favorite Beach Boys songs).
