Beach Boys' Tribute Making God Smile streets 07/30

2002-07-18 - Making God Smile, a musical tribute to the songs of Brian Wilson, will be released in stores on July 30 by Silent Planet Records. The project features all-new renditions of some of the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson's best-known music performed by a variety of artists from just about every genre of music. Although primarily targeted towards the mainstream market, many Christian artists have contributed songs to the project, including Sixpence None the Richer, Kevin Max & Jimmy Abegg, Phil Keaggy, Randy Stonehill, Terry Taylor, Phil Madeira, Rick Altizer, Aaron Sprinkle, Jan Krist and newcomer Derrick Harris. A live Brian Wilson tribute celebration was also recently held at the Cornerstone Festival on July 5, and was recorded for an upcoming live Making God Smile EP. The Making God Smile CD package includes a 24-page booklet featuring artists' comments about the songs they contributed to the project, and on Wilson's influence on their own music. A limited edition double-CD version of Making God Smile, with 11 additional tracks, can be ordered now only on the Internet at SilentPlanetRecords.com. Making God Smile will be distributed by New Day in the CCM market and by Redeye in the general market.
