"River Song" (Dennis Wilson) by Adam Marsland's Chaos Band

In 2006 Adam Marsland's Chaos Band (led by L.A. pop mainstay Adam Marsland and featuring '70s soul singer Evie Sands) and Beach Boys archivist Alan Boyd toured a 90 minute set that featured detailed renditions of songs a la Wondermints by the lesser-known Beach Boys Dennis and Carl Wilson. This clip of their "River Song" is from a May 26th show in Bloomington, Indiana.

Lead vocal by Adam Marsland and Alan Boyd.

Mark Linett recorded their Los Angeles set for a live album release, which was released earlier this year as LONG PROMISED ROAD: SONGS OF DENNIS AND CARL WILSON LIVE, available on amazon or at the band's website: www.myspace.com/adammarsland.

Does snyone know where I can get the Piano music for this great song? I'm a long time beachboys/Dennis Wilson Fan.

I'm not aware of any. I can tell you we played it in Bb major, and most of the chords are not that difficult.
