Dennis Wilson was the only member of the Beach Boys who could surf, and 'Pacific Ocean Blue' is his masterpiece
Not going to spend too much time on this, Dennis Wilson was a legend and was the only Beach Boy who could actually surf. His surfing in turn inspired Brian Wilson to write the soundtrack to the Californian Surf Experience, a legacy that Cali is still trying to shake off in 2008. 'Pacific Ocean Blue' was Dennis' masterpiece and it is now available in a deluxe legacy edition. Check it out at this link.

Its a pretty good album. Its nice to see it finally released. If anything it'll debunk the 'lost masterpiece' myth. A few truly great songs aside (River Song, Time, Thoughts of You), its a bit dull. Bambu's even worse.

When I first heard this album I didn't get it. But I was about 16. As an adult with more life experience I think it's a good solid album. Beautifully melancholy.
