"Adam Gershwin, the great-nephew of George and his brother / lyricist Ira, notes that this is the first time the family has authorized "derivative works of George and Ira Gershwin songs with new lyrics." Once the estate found out Wilson was planning a tribute, he was granted access to more than 100 obscure and unfinished songs.
Gershwin sees "a great similarity" between Wilson and his great-uncles. "Brian also is a musical visionary and refuses to be pigeonholed within a musical genre. It seemed to me a match made in heaven."
Wilson insists he "can't believe that anyone would compare" him to his childhood idol. Yet in describing his enduring attraction to Gershwin's music, Wilson cites qualities that many rock critics have attributed to his own lush, harmonically intricate work. "I love the melodies, and the way (Gershwin) orchestrated the chords around them," Wilson says. So in the studio, "my band members and I recorded the background orchestration first, then the background vocals, then the leads." (usatoday. com)
Rezensionen
"At a listening session Wednesday night in West Hollywood, an audience of about 100 invited guests, including record company executives, journalists and others, got a listen to the result, “Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin"...The key word here is “re-imagines,” not “interprets,” because more than simply presenting a collection of mostly familiar Gershwin classics in Wilson’s voice, the album processes them through his one-of-a-kind musical imagination. It makes his excursion through material that’s been so widely performed for the better part of a century a uniquely illuminating outing...There’s no doubt that Wilson’s album will elicit some squawking from those who prefer a Sinatra-Tony Bennett-Ella approach. But it does provide an undeniably fresh perspective on some of the most widely recorded music in history." (latimes. com)
"Was 1969 den Beach Boys mit ihrer Version von Leadbeltys ,,Cotton Fietds" gründtich misslang, funktioniert hier - mit Ausnahme des indiskutablen ,,l Got Rhythm"-Verschnitts - erstaunlicherweise gut, obgleich man sich über so viel Chuzpe gelegentlich beim Schmunzeln erwischt. Immerhin war das Vertrauen in Wilsons Künste bei den Gershwin-Erben so groß, dass man ihm zwei Songfragmente aus dem Nachlass überantwortete. Und was macht der Schelm daraus? Schafft zwei kleine Meisterwerke in bester Beach-Boys-Manier. Das muss ihm erst einmal einer nachmachen." (stereo, 12 / 2010)
