Brian Wilson has re-recorded and re-imagined twelve classic songs from the Gershwin Brothers and collaborated on two new Wilson/Gershwin compositions. The Gershwin estate gave Wilson access to rare, unfinished pieces of music by George Gershwin, with which Brian crafted collaborative compositions unlike anything the world has heard with "The Like in I Love You" and "Nothing But Love". Wilson chose to record George and Ira Gershwin songs because he considers the late composers of classics like "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Rhapsody in Blue" and "Summertime" as a critical influence on him.
"Wilson has created gorgeous and unexpected arrangements that strip away decades of familiarity."
- New York Magazine
"The album does provide an undeniably fresh perspective on some of the most widely recorded music in history."
- The Los Angeles Times
"... the real thing, end to end. It's the heart of BW, interpreted by Himself, and seemingly unfiltered. It works on levels I can't even describe yet."
- Peter Carlin
