Brian Wilson, one of the greatest rock songwriters, will be placed under a legal conservatorship due to a "major neurocognitive disorder.”
Brian Wilson’s long talked about unreleased country album, titled Cows in the Pasture, will be finally released in 2025.
Concentrating on 'Carl and the Passions – “So Tough”' and 'Holland,' the new box set titled 'Sail On Sailor – 1972,' is a new box set that dives deep into The Beach Boys' transformative and fruitful 1972 era.
The box set will cover two of their key mid-period albums, the 1970 album 'Sunflower' and 1971 album 'Surf’s Up.' Both rank among the band's most mature and best.
In 1967, Arthur Lee and his then stable band, Love, came up with Forever Changes - widely considered to be their, and one of rock’s greatest masterpieces. While making some impact in Europe, in particular England, at the time, the album was practically ignored in the US. Now, 50 years later, the album is being recognized for what it is (even by Rolling Stone, who missed its greatness the first time around).
There is a new documentary about The Beach Boys coming soon to Disney+, written by Mark Monroe and directed by Frank Marshall.
'The Beach Boys by The Beach Boys' is an anthology of the band that charts their rise from Hawthorne to international fame.
Capitol/UMe is organizing a year-long celebration of The Beach Boys' 60th anniversary, starting in June 2022 with 'Sounds of Summer.'
There's only one music biopic in the post-'Walk Hard' era that has managed to transcend it, with a creative structure and an innovative approach. And that movie is the Brian Wilson biopic 'Love & Mercy.'
Smile was to be the title of the 12th Beach Boys album that was to be released anywhere between January and June 1967. It was to be their masterpiece. Actually, it was supposed to be THE rock and roll masterpiece, better than anything The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix or Bob Dylan came up with. But then...it never came out.
