When he first started working on Pet Sounds, Brian Wilson
said that he was going to write "the greatest rock album ever
made." That album, released in 1966, fifty years ago, changed the
face of popular music. From conception and composition to
arrangement and production, Pet Sounds was the work of
one extraordinary man. Turning his back on the protest songs and
folk rock of his contemporaries and even on the bright surf sound
of his own creation, Brian Wilson reached deep within himself to
make music that struck an emotional chord and touched people's
souls. Embracing the rapidly advancing recording technology of the
time, he expertly created an original studio sound that would
inspire generations of listeners and musicians. Featuring a
detailed track-by-track analysis of the songs and extensive
interviews with key personalities, Wouldn't It Be Nice reveals the
influences--musical, personal, and professional--that together
created this groundbreaking album. Now revised to include new
information and recent developments, this is the definitive book on
one of the greatest albums ever made.
