farewell to Brian Wilson I know many in this thread will discuss the hit songs, but I would like to bring attention to one of their lesser-known albums, Stars and Stripes Vol. 1. It's a country music album that featured country music singers covering Beach Boys songs. It was critically panned, but I enjoyed it. Here's one of my favorite songs off the album, 409, covered by Junior Brown.

Brian Wilson was a musical genius, and truly a legend. Quirky, yes, but so what?

RIP Brian Wilson. You are now at peace. God speed.


A later version.
 
My personal favorite is Surfer Girl.


One of Brian Wilson's greatest hits. (I remember as a young girl I used to slow dance with a broom and my California dreaming started because of this song) Pure magic.

A true masterpiece!!!! Heaven to the ears.
Their concerts never got old. Brian Wilson would have been early forties here.

 
Way back when! Enjoy the concert. I am fortunate to still have their (vinyl) albums.
