The Beach Boys - SMiLE (Ryan Guidry version)

Columnated Ruins Domino Part #2













This is Ryan Guidry's version of SMiLE. More informations about each tracks can be found on Guidry's site. Here are Ryan Guidry's comments about his work :
The aim of my version is to present SMiLE as a finished product, by utilizing songs and song fragments available commercially, by mp3, or by bootleg. My track list is similar to the one proposed by Domenic Priore in his book Look! Listen! Vibrate! Smile!, though several tracks exist here in unique form. Digital edits have been made, and in some cases historical accuracy has been overlooked in favor of musical coherence. I believe that with the material I've had to work with, and the extensive research I've done, I have succeeded in making SMiLE a complete and musically satisfying entity. I hope you will agree.

Tracklist :
Americana :
01. Our Prayer
02. Heroes And Villains Pt. 1
03. Heroes And Villains Pt. 2
04. Barnyard
05. Do You Like Worms
