***** A back to basics album for the group, laid back and some R&B inflections...Brian was starting too step back a little by this stage and let the rest of the group have some involvement in the recording process...this pre-dates The Beatles, The Stones & Dylan's recess to simpler music from the aftermath of psychedelia.<br><br>The album contains Beach Boy classics "Darlin'", "Wild Honey" and some beautiful tracks such as "Country Air", "Let The Wind Blow", "I'd Love Just Once To See You" along with the brilliant "Here Comes The Night". All in all it's a refreshingly warm record that suits a summer evening listen.<br> |
