In His Room: Brian Wilson's "At My Piano" Offers Solo Piano Renditions of Beach Boys Favorites
Those lucky enough to have seen Brian Wilson in one of his solo concerts knows that it's always a special moment when the Beach Boys' leader plays the piano. While he's always seated in front of a keyboard, he leaves the heavy lifting to such long-serving bandmates as Darian Sahanaja, Gary Griffin, or Billy Hinsche. Yet his mastery of the instrument has never been in doubt; in one moving moment of the recent documentary Long Promised Road, he's seen in the studio showing exactly how a tune

Are You Ready for the Sex Girls? Omnivore Reissues Gleaming Spires Discography
"Of the hundreds of new records unleashed on the public each year, few stand out as truly inspired, literate works of art," began Sparks' Russell Mael in his liner notes to Gleaming Spires' 1981 debut Song of the Spires. "Fewer still go beyond that. Though I have not personally had the time to listen to this, the Gleaming Spires' first recorded effort, two of my bridge partners tell me that this record goes way, way beyond." Sparks' tongue-in-cheek endorsement (to which Russell's brother Ron

Review: The Beach Boys, "Feel Flows: The Sunflower and Surf's Up Sessions 1969-1971"
Like a Companion for Your Lonely Soul Those placing the needle on The Beach Boys' Sunflower upon its release in 1970 might have been taken aback by the sheer drive of its opening track. The lusty "Slip on Through" - co-written, produced, and primarily sung by Dennis Wilson - rocked harder than just about anything else in the band's discography to that point. The song announced that Sunflower was not just The Beach Boys' first album on a new label but the beginning of a new chapter

Time Captives: Cherry Red, Esoteric Collect Complete Albums, More from Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come
I am the god of Hellfire and I bring you...Fire! With those words, Arthur Brown introduced "Fire," his unhinged single that shot to No. 1 in the U.K. and Canada and No. 2 in the U.S. in 1968. While "Fire" has endured, Brown's band The Crazy World of Arthur Brown didn't. The group dissolved in June 1969 after recording just two albums, one of which was shelved for two decades. Brown, the charismatic and outrageous frontman, moved on and formed a new band: Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come. Now,

When The New York Philharmonic opened music mogul Clive Davis' NYC Homecoming Concert last Saturday evening, the esteemed orchestra energized the crowd with a medley of New York anthems.
