Mostly though, the songs have a much rougher and bluesy sound due to the singer's very raspy and not always appealing voice. A few of the songs feature small touches of his famous band's harmonies (Carl sings backup on the album) and at times Dennis also emulated Brian's penchant for weird percussion sounds. The album is an excellently arranged package of twelve Dennis Wilson originals. Another reason he was an unlikely candidate for a solo album is because as James William Guercio, Pacific Ocean Blue's Executive Producer, said about Dennis in the liner notes, "Someone forgot to tell him he didn't have a great singing voice."īut Pacific Ocean Blue proves that on the days he was in the studio Dennis must have paid close attention to Brian's superbly detailed production methods because, just like Brian's songs, the drummer's are meticulously crafted. He was absent from many of The Beach Boys studio recordings and was often replaced by session drummers. However, he didn't enjoy the slower pace of the recording studio nearly as much. As drums were the only remaining open instrument in the new band's lineup Dennis secured his place in the group by beating the skins.ĭennis loved touring for the sex, drugs, and rock n' roll lifestyle. In fact, their mother had to force brothers Brian and Carl to accept him into the band at the time of The Beach Boys formation. This was a shock because Dennis was always assumed to be the least musically accomplished of the three brothers. In 1977 the music world was stunned to learn that the first Beach Boy to record and release a solo album was middle Wilson brother, Dennis.
