Book description
In the 1960s, brothers Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson, their cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine created the California Sound through contagious riffs and songs about hot rods, surfers and blossoming romance. Then, in the mid-1960s, a youthful Brian Wilson changed the face of the industry, not only as co-songwriter and arranger, but as an autonomous studio producer. The band has sold over 100 million records internationally. They surfaced prior to the British Invasion, spearheaded by The Beatles, but became as commercially and culturally influential as the Fab Four during their prime. Intrigued by advances in technology, Wilson featured the groundbreaking Electro-Theremin in 'Good Vibrations,' thus helping pave the way for experimentation by future musicians in all genres. In The Beach Boys 1965-1979 On Track, the author chronicles the words and music that galvanized generations and includes essential insights from film directors, songwriters, drummers, synth experts, horn players and arrangers, managers, engineers and musical directors who witnessed the band's phenomenal success first-hand. From The Beach Boys Today! To L.A. (Light Album), mellifluous, multi-part harmonies and a hybrid of distinctive styles emerged.
