Title: Jeff covers of BB songs Post by: harrisonjon on August 30, 2015, 08:29:37 AM I saw a Youtube video of Jeff doing a beautiful version of She Knows Me Too Well a few years ago. I was wondering how many such recordings Jeff has done. Can anyone assist?

Title: Re: Jeff covers of BB songs Post by: acedecade75 on September 01, 2015, 10:54:26 PM I'm sorry, but in my opinion, Jeff can not come anywhere close to what vintage Brian Wilson sounds like. I truly don't know why he is always put up on a pedestal? Jeff is a decent cover at best.
Title: Re: Jeff covers of BB songs Post by: bonnevillemariner on September 02, 2015, 08:18:35 AM He's sometimes on, sometimes off. Oddly, he sounds the most Brian-esque on his solo and non-Beach Boys material. He sounds the least Brian-esque on TWGMTR, unfortunately. But check out his "Through My Window." To me he sounds very Brian-esque in that track.
Title: Re: Jeff covers of BB songs Post by: 37!ws on September 03, 2015, 02:06:46 PM Listen to his Thru My Window album if you want more Jeff doing Beach Boys. Almost every single song on there is a Beach Boys song that's just altered ever so slightly and with new lyrics.
Title: Re: Jeff covers of BB songs Post by: Tony S on September 04, 2015, 03:41:39 AM I like Thru My Window a lot...some great Beach Boy type songs there. In fact I like all of Jeff's solo material, including the rarities and Xmas CD. Baseball Card Fever is a great fun tune!

And I agree. His vocals never came close to approximating vintage Brian. Title: Re: Jeff covers of BB songs Post by: 37!ws on September 04, 2015, 10:40:02 AM His vocals are much closer to those of Carl, IMHO...which, given the dedication in the Thru My Window album, is no shock.
