Title: Offbeat Beach Boy Covers: Rockabye Baby Post by: bossaroo on August 15, 2011, 10:45:08 PM This would probably appeal to most here... I just found out about it myself.
(https://www.hadleybaby.com/estores/images/product_photos/9613.jpg) 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!

That version of "Let's Go Away for Awhile" really brings out all the beauty of the original.

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!
