Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks - Orange Crate Art video free download

Christopher is right - much better here with Brian than the bizarre harmony version which ruins its beautiful simplicity. Would also like to hear Beach Boys stuff as acapella. Carl Wilson was the best singer in the group, Brian the master writer.

Would have enjoyed the Orange Crate Album more as these piano demos than the odd produced production of the studio release.

I like that lyric of the hobo hop passage too. I watched the documentary and loved this snippet, was actually disappointed when the Orange Crate Art album came out and had the "falsetto" vocal that sounded rather artificial and passionless. I referred this vocal. Nearly 20 years later, as I listen to this excerpt, I think I was right!!

What a great piano player VDP is, suits Mr W perfectly. My favourite album.

Played OCA on a trip across the US in 95, it will always take me back to that time. Magical.

Emmy Niinistö

Both of them have great hair for old guys.

@peytonlaw equal, In my eyes :)

Brian Wilson is an amazing writer. Carl Wilson is criminally underrated though. Especially as a singer. Songs like God Only Knows wouldn't be half as good if Carl wasn't singing the lead.

@nagiroltra completely agree. van dykes and brian just don't seem right

Giovanni Cortez

@peytonlaw no...

@peytonlaw what is this a support group of 37 people for the disillusioned? Lennon and McCartney don't have to envy any musicians.

@mugwamp4 I think Randy Newman would have been a great Lennon to Van Dyke Parks's MacCartney

The song is "Orange Crate Art" The title song of an album they made together.
