JohnBJun 20, 2008My second favorite album of the 1970s. Have only been able to listen lousy MP3's of it since the needle went and i disconnected the turntable. Now if only they will release my favoite 70's album: Beached by thr original Rikki Martin. It has so much Carl Wilson on it that I thught of it as a Beach Boys album, same with Pacific Ocean Blue!

Apr 29, 2016The BEST Solo Beach Boy Album. Dennis Wilson was a genius and just listening to this album will show you why that is. River Song and You and I are probably my favorites.

Beautiful, sprawling, peaceful, wise, and as tenderly romantic as the world is round, these Dennis Wilson gems are as revelatory as they are stunning.
-
The album manages to co-opt elements of the Beach Boys - soaring harmonies, tack piano, orchestral arrangements - yet doesn't particularly sound as if it were recorded by the group.

Adding a plaintive beauty and combining it with coke-ravaged, mid-Seventies, Spector-ish AOR and some playful studio trickery, the album is a raw, introspective and melancholic delight.
