California Rock:
In their early-sixties
hits the Beach Boys
virtually invented
California rock.
Brian Wilson's songs
celebrated an
idealized California
teenhood of surfing,
driving and dating.
His productions
were a glossy,
perfectionistic, ultra
blend of guitars and
vocal harmonies,
with their experiments
concealed.

The Beach Boys have
sold over 65 million
records worldwide

Carl Wilson died
from complications of
lung cancer in 1998

December 28, 1983

and came back.
The Beach Boys had
their fourth #1 hit
"Kokomo" (1988) from
the film Cocktail
without him. Brian's
long awaited solo
album came out the
same year
Concert Pictures:
The original Beach
Boys reunited in
Nashville, led by their
founding genius,
Brian Wilson, in a

A unique collaboration
with some of country
musics finest. The
group revisits a
number of their
classic songs while
proving
a lush backdrop
of close harmony.
In Mike Loves words,
they bring
"a whole new life
and new personality"
to each of the song
