Brian Wilson will release "At My Piano", a collection of much loved favorites from his Beach Boys and solo catalogs, on Decca Records on November 19th, 2021.
The album sees the peerless composer, performer and producer returning to his incredible songbook to record new interpretations in their purest form, alone at the piano. It’s a relaxing collection of timeless pieces including such all time classics as “God Only Knows”, “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”, “California Girls”, Good Vibrations” and many more.
Brian remembers, “We had an upright piano in our living room and from the time I was 12 years old I played it each and every day. I never had a lesson, I was completely self taught. I can’t express how much the piano has played such an important part in my life. It has bought me comfort, joy and security. It has fuelled my creativity as well as my competitive nature.
“I play it when I’m happy or feeling sad”, he continues. “I love playing for people and I love playing alone when no one is listening. Honestly, the piano and the music I create on it has probably saved my life”.
