A well done cover by Brian and his band. Smiley

Great job! He adds the Wilson touch but it's still recognizably Buddy's song. Too bad it was cut from the album, though...  Wink

Maybe this will earn Brian a little benefit of the doubt among those who were scorning the Disney album without having heard any of it.

That's SO GOOD. Now I'm psyched for Disney. The only caveat I have with it is that the doubled lead saps a bit of energy, but this is BW. He probably double tracks his answering machine message.

Double-tracked, but double-tracked well. I love how tender his voice sounds...a long way from the stilted vocals from earlier in his solo career.

Gosh I'm suprised, I was expecting a sludgy-by-the-numbers kinda think. This is GORGEOUS.

I like the Beatles a bit more than the Boys of Beach, I think Brian's band is the tops---really amazing. And finally, I'm liberal. That's it.

Brian's voice sounds much more relaxed and natural on this recording.

I'm not that excited. His voice sounds a little unnatural. And his singing not as enthusiastic as on BWRG (which of course had great singing). Just my first thoughts. Not as good as I hoped for.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

I wasn't expecting much either, but found it suprisingly gorgeous.  Brian lulled me to sleep with some of his recent material, but his arrangements on this tune and the Gershwin CD (which I also did not expect much from) have really surprised me.

Really beautiful work, better than I was expecting.  Vocals sound great, and the arrangement strikes the perfect balance of Brian/Buddy.  Looking forward to hearing the rest of the CD (especially Zooey Deschanel... Grin).

Can someone tell me how to download this track from RS?

I have a mac and can't seem to figure out how to get the file onto my hard-drive. Thanks in advance!

This is one of the best BW tunes (yeah I know it's a cover) I've heard in years. Such a mellow track; Brian's voice is perfect for it, BG vocals are perfect, and I can't get enough of that instrumental track! Great replay value.
