"I Can Hear Music" is a single and track from the 1996 compilation album, "Stars & Stripes 1", by The Beach Boys and various country artists, including Willie Nelson, Lorrie Morgan, Sawyer Brown, Collin Raye and others. The album was released on River North Records and was produced by Joe Thomas and Brian Wilson.
The concept of the album is having contemporary country artists cover some of the Beach Boys biggest hits with the group doing backup. It's a nice idea, but some songs work better than others, unfortunately. Although not a country music singer, Kathy Troccoli's full-voiced rendition of "I Can Hear Music" with the Boys as backup works for me. Willie Nelson's "Warmth of the Sun" is probably the highlight of the album. An interesting project that kind of works, sometimes.
"I Can Hear Music" was written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector. The original Beach Boys version was released on their 1969 Capitol Records album, "20/20" and was a worldwide Top-Twenty single release.
Kathy Troccoli's version was released as a single and peaked at #16 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.
