385 Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue Oct 11, 2021

Show notes

Known Beach Boy and brother to Brian, Dennis, released his first solo record in the late summer of 1977.

The record’s beginning started all the way back in 1974, when the Boys’ Beach refused to play much of Dennis’s material.
Though started earlier in the 70s, the vast majority of the album was recorded in the Spring of 76-77.
The results? A surprisingly soulful psychedelic vision that sees Dennis come into his own as an artist.
