In the Key of Disney is the ninth studio album by Brian Wilson, released on October 25, 2011, by Walt Disney Records as part of the Disney Pearl Series. The album is the second release by Disney for Wilson, after Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin. Disney calls it "the album that marries the vision of two men who shaped the image of modern California – Brian Wilson & Walt Disney."[3]
Background
In the summer of 2009, Walt Disney Records approached Wilson about recording his own arrangements of songs from Disney films, which Wilson agreed to do after recording an album of Gershwin covers.[4]
In The Key of Disney was recorded in early 2011. After recording the album Wilson indicated that "The Beach Boys sound and the Disney people make a fantastic collaboration. I tried to do justice to all their songs."[5]
Amazon.com initially offered two bonus tracks; one appeared on the compact disc version of the album, and the other appeared on the MP3 version.
