Produced by Brian Wilson, mixed by multi-Grammy winner Al Schmitt and joined by his longtime acclaimed band, the new album features the trademark stacked vocal harmonies and orchestrations that made Wilson a towering and revered figure in popular music. Songs include his Gershwin favorites, such as “Summertime," “I Loves You Porgy," “I Got Plenty of Nothin'" and “It Ain't Necessarily So" (all from the opera “Porgy and Bess"), “S'Wonderful," “I've Got a Crush on You," and “They Can't Take That Away From Me." An a capella version of the groundbreaking 1924 orchestral piece “Rhapsody in Blue," showcasing Wilson's stunning vocal harmonies, opens and closes the album.
