It Grows On You
Listening to today's Brian Wilson is a surprising and uplifting experience. While the voice tremors a little, and sometime reaches for those notes, his musical sense is still exciting, warm and inventive. I find his work inspiring today becuase he actually survived the last 30 years, versus many of his peers who are now gone, tragically, taking their genius with them. This album has some great cuts on it, and while a first listen may leave you wondering, a second and third listen builds a comfort like a new shoe that just needs a little breaking in. This is a favorite CD of mine, and with some help from Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Elton John and even Carl Wilson, it is a happy keeper. I highly recommend it, and hope he'll release another soon. Brian has a great future, and I want to enjoy it.
