The album title alone is enough to make pop-music pundits drool, pairing two of the 20th century's most celebrated tunesmiths: Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin.The recording itself, which arrives Aug. 17, was a "labor of love" for Wilson, 68, who was a George Gershwin fan long before he was a Beach Boy or had even discovered the piano.
"Before I could play music, I could hear it," Wilson says, and Gershwin became a hero when he first heard Rhapsody in Blue at about age 4.
