. . . and to earn a livelihood from dashing the efforts of hard-scrabble survivors and American icons of the music business who have proven, through both their body/(ies) of work and their persistence/longevity/dedication to one of the most crucial (and ancient) forms of art of which we know. Whether or not you are a fan of Brian Wilson (and/or The Beach Boys), you must at the very least appreciate the sincerity of all his efforts throughout the years whether or not you decide to buy his latest release OR NOT, and simply ignore this drivel and just listen to this work as soon as you can. k
(from https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/brian-wilson-at-my-piano/)
". . . Often, the mellow nature of At My Piano works against it. Wilson shows no desire to improvise or rearrange his warhorses. He plays with a lack of flair that accentuates the melody at the expense of texture or vibe: He literally is sitting at the piano playing familiar tunes. With the earliest songs, this approach amounts to little more than tinkling the melody as his left hand plonks out acompanying chords. There is a modicum of homespun charm, but the simplicity is also a bit stultifying. . .
