Brian Wilson Smile Rock Music CD Review
Smile is the latest release from Rock Superstar Brian Wilson, and is another great one by this talented musician.
Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Smile. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Rock music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Dave Stone and Paul Martens plus a few other notables as well.
Overall Smile is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Rock collection. Truly an outstanding Rock CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.
While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 5 – Old Master Painter/You Are My Sunshine, track 11 – I’m In Great Shape/I Wanna Be Around/Workshop, and track 17 – Good Vibrations.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Our Prayer/Gee. Great track!
