A fascinating study of Brian Wilson's creative career as a
composer, producer, performer, and collaborator that addresses all
aspects of Brian's five-decade-long music career through his
creative methods and processes. The cofounder and central figure of
one of America's most successful vocal groups, The Beach Boys,
Brian Wilson is a standout artist with an astonishing volume of
diverse work spanning over half a century that serves as testament
to his creative output and influence on modern music. Today, Wilson
stands as a survivor of life challenges stemming from substance
abuse and mental illness and enjoys a revitalized career in which
he continues to create new works and perform around the world to
enthusiastic audiences in sold-out venues. This unique book covers
the breadth of Wilson's creative life as composer, producer,
performer, and collaborator, not only as a Beach Boy, but also as a
solo artist and collaborator with artists such as Jan and Dean, The
Honeys, Spring, The Castells, and The Hondells. The book also
surveys his less-examined work as a performer of the music of
George Gershwin, of the songs from Disney films, and of children's
