Not-So-Hot Elevator Music

Mary C | Bay Area, CA USA | 09/06/2001

(2 out of 5 stars)

"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."

Gary Usher was brilliant

David Beckey | Minneapolis | 01/03/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"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."
