Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue (1977)

Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue (1977)

A friend turned me on to this album when I was attending college. Thank you. Tales of the rock n roll lifestyle, lost love, womanizing, and odes to environmentalism over some beautifully produced 1970s pop songs. Somber songs with almost ambient-sounding soundscapes transition into full on coked-out rockers. Dennis' voice, though not perfect, is filled with authenticity. You can tell he lived this shit. Best enjoyed with a baggie of cocaine.

Dennis planned to follow up Pacific Ocean Blue with an album titled Caribou. Some unfinished Caribou tracks are included here as well. Make sure to check out Holy Man - Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters laid down some dope vocal that sound amazingly like Dennis Wilson.

Rest in Peace
You and I
