Nearly a decade in the making, this release features strong interpretations of lesser known Brian Wilson gems. Also included are three tracks from the legendary unreleased SMiLE album. Although the group Box o' Clox is credited as the artist, the album is a solo effort — arranged, produced, and performed by Cameron Michael Parkes. Parkes explains: "This is a project that I have wanted to do for quite some time. Roughly nine years ago I began recording these tracks in my spare time. My bandmates (Charles Pett, Greg Hauge, Larry Dolan, and Mike Buckley) have allowed me to step out from the group a bit to make this album."
Parkes is a music producer of high ambition and talent. He composes for film and television, and has provided music and lyrics for the musicals "Tanzi" and "Happy Birthday, Mr. President."
Cameron Michael Parkes on Brian Wilson's Music (from the album’s liner notes): When it comes to the subject of the music of Brian Wilson, the uninitiated generally fall into two camps: hard-core rockers who dismiss it as "sissy surf music" or classical snobs who denounce it (and all pop music in general) as too "four chord simple." When I beg their indulgence by playing "Our Prayer" from the 20/20 album, it’s always interesting to see some sort of transformation take place. "Thomas Tallis, Palestrina, Monteverdi"? No ... it’s the kid from Hawthorne! Brian’s music has a knack for sounding simple on the surface, but it’s never simplistic. In the "production wars" of the '60s, Brian had some stiff competition and he single-handedly rose to the occasion. The Beatles had George Martin and Phil Spector had his "Wall of Sound." Brian’s "wall" was filled with stained-glass windows, and that’s what made his productions in the '60s so unique. Another underlying reason his work endures is due to the healing power of his music. Brian’s pioneering innovations in pop music are so far reaching that we who write and produce have all been under his influence — whether we realize it consciously or not. If Brian never writes another note it will be fine with me. He's done more than enough. But thankfully Brian is as active as ever with writing, recording, and touring."
