Editorial Review:
Subtitled 'A 1970 Symphonic Tribute To Brian Wilson'. Recorded by Gary to cheer up Beach Boy Brian Wilson after his breakdown following the 'Smile' sessions. He aimed to prove he was not just a pop writer but a classical composer as well. Featuring versions of Beach Boys songs. Poptones. 2001 release.
Add Some Music to Your Day: 1970 Symphonic Tribute to Brian Wilson Reviews:
symphonnic tribute is cool easy listening 
2008-06-06 - This album will take more than one listen to grow on you. has a lot of obscure bw / bb songs, not just the hits. i love to listen to it during late night /early morning baby feedings. a lot cooler to listen to than the baby lullaby cd the missus bought at the baby store. enjoy!
Gary Usher was brilliant 
2003-01-03 - Gary Usher's tribute to Brian Wilson is brilliant. It is indeed easy listening, but what's wrong with that? It's a great album to do the dishes to, it's beautiful. If they did indeed play this music at the grocery store I'd be quite happy about that! Gary Usher not only wrote the classic "In My Room" with Brian Wilson, but he also is responsible for what I believe to be one of the best production jobs in the history of popular music, "The Notorious Byrd Brothers" by The Byrds.
Not-So-Hot Elevator Music 
2001-09-06 - This really is an elevator music album, literally. It's not a symphonic take on Brian Wilson/BB music, though it does utilize a small section of the LA Symphony. It's music made for grocery shopping. Not one of Gary Usher's finer moments, though he did have many worthy projects as a writer and producer throughout his career. This one is worth skipping; you won't listen to it more than once, I guarantee it.
