Summary: <p>Shrunken Head Lounge Surf Radio Show Running Time: 29 minutes 30 seconds</p> <p><strong>Beach Boys Special Part 2</strong></p> <p><img border="0" hspace="0" align="baseline" src="http://theshrunkenheadlounge.com/images/The_Beach_Boys-late.jpg"></p> <p>Surfin USA, Fun Fun Fun, Little Deuce Coupe - that's just one side of the Beach Boys. But what about the introspective and experimental side which they display on their later works?</p> <p>This show will feature songs showing the bands maturation in the late '60s as Americas best and most versitile recording acts.</p> <p>The Beach Boys started out as a family - three brothers, Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson and their cousin Mike Love. The addition of Brians school friend Al Jardine filled out the picture.</p> <p>The hallmark of these recordings are the groups vocal harmonies, a new approach to arrangements and Brian's incorporation of the Wall Of Sound, originally created by Phil Spector and refined in a way that only Brian could.</p> <p>"Pet Sounds" is the pinnicle in this sound, considerred the greatest album ever recorded (and inspiring The Beatles Paul McCartney to create Sgt. Pepper) . To bring his ideas to life, Brian hired top studio musicians, most notable Hal Blaine and Carrol Kaye. </p> <p>By this point Brian decided not to tour any longer and found a replacement in Glen Campbell and later Bruce Johnson.</p> <p>Though these songs never charted as well as the earlier hits, they are just as well known and will remain in our minds and on our radios for ever.</p> <p>Here is Part 2 of the Beach Boys on the SHL!</p>
