Album:Pacific Ocean Blue/Bambu
One of the most jarring experiences I've ever had while listening to music was the first time I heard 'Pet Sounds'. I was a relatively old 20, and my previous experience with the Beach Boys was a vinyl 'Greatest Hits' in my dad's collection, which was pretty much completely devoted to the 'Fun, Fun, Fun', 'Surfin' USA' type stuff. But a guy in college, during an extended and meandering conversa...

Dennis Wilson's "Pacific Ocean Blue" stands as one of the most over looked, under rated works from a Beach Boy that isn't Brian Wilson. It's a lush sorrowful and dreamy affair. Whiskey soaked in equal parts sorrow and self pity. It's a remarkable feat by the so called "least talented" member of the Beach Boys. It's as earnest and heartfelt as "Pet Sounds" but a surprisingly tender effort fr...

Born this week, 1944. "Water temperatures varied from a nippy January fifty-five to a tepid sixty-seven off Muscle Beach in August. On a bread-and-butter board day in the depths of summer, the oyster-white morning would begin without any breeze, but the sky's pothered film usually disappeared by noon. The air temperature would rise to a feathery seventy-four, and the ocean-chop would establish ...

Album:
Recorded over the course of seven years, Dennis Wilson's one issued solo project "Pacific Ocean Blue" is a masterpiece. Yes. A blissed-out, coked-up masterpiece. The album's 12 songs reveal a songwriter who was looking to stretch out on his own and engage a vision of music that stood far outside what the Beach Boys were capable of handling or executing at the time. "Pacific Ocean Blue" is a moo...

Been listening to the 30th Anniversary release of Pacific Ocean Blue on and off since I got it. Like most folks, I never gave Dennis Wilson much credit, nor his work much attention.Undeservedly so, as this stuff is well worth the listen and certainly goes well beyond the Beach Boy genre he was stuck in. The dreamer, looking for his place in the world.Dreamer was written by Dennis Wilson and his...

I certainly would of never thought about this. This album kind of sounds like what he Beach Boys should have been doing in the mid/late 70's. He kind of sound like Jerry Garcia, the music mellow and kind of funky. Which makes this your first FF post for the week. Hugs!
