I was dreading this. When I heard Brian was doing it I felt a sense of impending doom. On hearing the preview of Heigh-Ho all my preconceptions vanished. It was like Smile but from a Disney film- weird. My two year old insisted on it being played about thirty times. He now has the CD glued into the player in his room. Bare Necessities is the favourite and is again on loop a great deal. I love the versions of Kiss the Girl, Colours of the Wind and Can You Feel...
For me Brian has created an album that my young children adore but also my wife who was never a Beach Boys fab! If you have young children, I implore you to get this. Anyone who doesn't feel like tapping their foot to Bare Necessities has no soul!
