This would probably appeal to most here... I just found out about it myself.


Surfer Girl
In My Room
Surf's Up
Let's Go Away for Awhile
Our Prayer
Warmth of the Sun
Caroline No
God Only Knows
Don't Talk
You Still Believe In Me
Wouldn't It Be Nice


The music is played by Michael Armstrong and the instrumentation and song choices indicate he is probably a big Brian Wilson fan.

Just one of around 40 in the Rockabye Baby series which includes Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Madonna, Nirvana, Flaming Lips, Pixies, Radiohead, Kanye West and many more... all gently covered on bells, vibes, mellotron, and toy piano mostly. cool stuff!

It's a good one, nice arrangements.
That version of "Let's Go Away for Awhile" really brings out all the beauty of the original.

I got this for my niece this past Christmas - yes it's very well done, nice song choices. It's still in her bedtime rotation to this day, so hopefully I've helped to instill a love of the Beach Boys (and good music in general) that will continue as she grows.

They have similar albums for tons of popular artists too.  Assuming it's all the same guy I'm sure they're pretty good too. Quite a brilliant concept, wish I'd thought of it!

I don't like how he abridges songs though. Good mushroom music nonetheless.

I bought it for my daughter but I've never allowed her to touch it. It's part of the collection, really. Am I a bad dad?
