Dennis Wilson Artist Snapshot:

Best known as a founding member, drummer, and vocalist for the Beach Boys, Dennis Wilson was the second child between brothers Brian and Carl. The only real surfer in the band, Wilson gave credibility to the Beach Boys' surfer image (an image aided by his good looks), and, as the 1960s progressed, he began contributing more to the band's written material. In the late `60s, Wilson became entangled with the Manson Family, although he had dissociated himself from the group before the notorious Tate-Lo Bianco murders. Wilson released a solo album, 1977's PACIFIC OCEAN BLUE and recorded another, BAMBU, which remains unreleased. Dennis Wilson died by drowning in 1983.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.77) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "PACIFIC OCEAN BLUE is a cinematic meditation on loss, both personal and environmental. A trio of wrenchingly intimate songs about a failed relationship anchor the album..."
Spin (p.119) - "[A] piano-driven epic of doomed romanticism....[With] raw-throated, harmonically rich ballads..."
The Wire (p.46) - "Wilson's solo project now bears flattering resemblance to other cherished winter of discontent discs from the mid-70s, of the order of Big Star's THIRD or Shuggie Otis's INSPIRATION INFORMATION."
Q (Magazine) (p.116) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The music amounts to a compelling period piece....Listen hard, and you can hear the sound of life lived so near the existential edge that it beggars belief."
Mojo (Publisher) (3/01/04, p.55) - Included in Mojo's The 67 Lost Albums You Must Own! - "How can music this expansive, ambitious and affecting have slipped through the cracks?"
Blender (Magazine) (p.79) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] moody, groovy and deeply congenial album. Dennis had his brother Brian's gift for melody..."
Paste (magazine) (p.79) - "Full of lush harmonies, grandiose orchestrations and poignant lyrics, these songs have lost none of their innocent melancholy over the last three decades."

Title Note

Though largely ignored upon its original release in 1977, and previously available on CD for a very brief time in the early 1990s, the sole solo album released by Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson in his lifetime has long been considered a lost masterpiece. PACIFIC OCEAN BLUE could not be further from the surf and sand, cars and girls world of the Beach Boys' early hits. In its mix of lavish orchestrations, funereal tempos, and haunted, often depressing lyrics, PACIFIC OCEAN BLUE sounds like the spiritual heir not only of PET SOUNDS, but of Neil Young's TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT. The two-disc reissue contains outtakes from this album's sesssions as well as the entirety of Wilson's never-released second solo album, written and recorded in 1978 and '79.
