Ol' man river
That ol' man river
He must know something
But he don't say nothing
That ol' man river
He just keeps rollin' along

He don't plant taters
He don't plant cotton
And them that plants 'em
Are soon forgotten

That ol' man river
He just keeps rolling along

That ol' man river
He just keeps rolling along

In the past, at different points in time .. I've heard various fragmented bits 'n' pieces of this singular-work by Brian .. and that was beautiful to hear, just in itself. But this is the first time I've heard a remix which brings a genuine sense of coherence & completeness to this project. This mix sounds fantastic !! Just when the audience thinks that they've finally figured Brian Wilson out, once & for all .. he goes & pulls a brand new surprise on 'em .. like this wonderful piece.

Thanks for your well-thought-out assessment! If only Brian had put this out back in the good ol' days...if only, right? :)

where did this version come from? does wes anderson have connections or what?

@phin68

This version of "Ol' Man River" is a combination of all of the commercially available versions of it by the Beach Boys. All buried treasures until recently. If only they'd come out with this in the 1960s!

Heard this version for the first time in the film "Fantastic Mr Fox".

Very striking.

One good thing about Wes Anderson is that he has reintroduced and kept alive many of the great oldies and virtually forgotten classics of the 1960s for the younger generations. :)

This is awful. Period.

@curve311 i think we have his greatness in pet sounds and the smile work. it's more sad that yeah, how much great music was lost past what smile was gonna be because brian lost his drive after what happened.

This is stunning. I wish Capitol would release stuff like this remix instead of more greatest hits albums.

[usnick07]

where can I get this specific version? either from you or anywhere, I don't really care

Good lord, how come this never made it onto a CD.... I love this song. ^^ Fantastic interpretation by a fantastic group.

Unfortunately Mike Love axed Brian's Ol' Man River project in the late 60's. What a shame... Every time Brian got excited and put his heart into something, Mike Love was there to shoot him down.

We'll never know how good Brian Wilson could have been
