Most of the songs were written by Dion and his composing associate Mike Aquilina.
The introductory notes were written by Pete Townshend, who wrote:
“Dion, like a circling star that never fades, generates the energy and fire we need to pull ourselves up and start again. Dion is a star who knows well how to start again, how to keep shining. He looks at his watch every few years. Damn, let’s make a record! Take care. This one will blow those little white things in our ears right into your brain.”
AlsoDion himself offers a track-by-track description of the 14 songs, 13 of them original.
The only cover of the album is Jimi Hendrix’s memorable “Red House” in which Dion is backed by Keb ’Mo’.
About this collaboration in his notes, Dion points out: “We had a wonderful time at ‘Red House’. I am honored to have him join me on this Jimi Hendrix cover/tribute. We did it as only we could. I think Jimi would approve!
For lovers of the California surf sound of the Beach Boys and the instrumental piano, the leader of that band, Brian Wilson, offers “At My Piano”, an album to give or treat yourself by the end of 2021.
Genius, icon, and trailblazer Brian Wilson revolutionized music as head of the Beach Boys.
Now, he retraces his steps and reimagines the most iconic songs from his back catalog into their purest form, with him alone at the piano.
Featuring «God Only Knows,» «Wouldn’t It Be Nice,» «California Girls,» «Good Vibrations,» and many more on solo piano.
Wilson explained on his website the origins of this new album:
«We had an upright piano in the living room and since I was 12 I played it every day. I never had a lesson, I was completely self-taught. I cannot express how important a role the piano has played in my life. It has given me comfort, joy and security. It has fueled my creativity and my competitive nature. “I play it when I am happy or sad. I love playing for people and I love playing solo when no one is listening. Honestly, the piano and the music I create on it have probably saved my life. «
The album, which is a collection of Beach Boys hits performed by Brian on piano, is available from November 19, with the DECCA label.
Good Vibrations At My Piano
Brian, who since 1961, became a music idol with the Beach Boys now offers a selection as relaxing as the sound of the beach.
Among the memorable songs, At My Piano includes God Only Knows, Wouldn’t it Be Nice, California Girls, Good Vibrations, and other tracks appropriate for dreaming… again.
These are reinventions of those songs that gave a festive air to pop of the 1960s on the waves of the Beach Boys, a band in which Brian was
songwriter, producer, co-lead vocalist, bassist, and keyboardist.
A whole musical career earned Wilson joining the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Beach Boys and this time he gives us one of the most appropriate albums to say goodbye to a year full of uncertainties, but also hope.
