"A convincing case can be made that Dennis Wilson was the bona fide musical genius in the Beach Boys." - ALLMUSIC.COM

"'River Song' and the rollicking 'What's Wrong' - two raw, emotional highlights that are as moody as anything Brian ever composed." (4 stars) - ROLLING STONE

"Sun-kissed gorgeousness" (4 stars) - BLENDER

"Pacific Ocean Blue's reputation has risen with the superlatives lavished on it by fans such as The Verve, Primal Scream and The Charlatans. Unavailability has also played a part in pumping up the myth - so much so that you wonder if, heard in 2008, these songs stand to disappoint. In fact, key moments of Pacific Ocean Blue square dramatically up to you loftiest expectations." (5 stars) - UNCUT

"The Holy Grail for many a rock fan." (5 stars) - LONDON OBSERVER

"Buried Treasure" (4 stars) - MOJO

"One of the quintessential L.A. albums" (92 out of 100) - FILTER

"Full of lush harmonies, grandiose orchestrations and poignant lyrics, these ambitious songs have lost none of their magnificent melancholy over the last three decades." - PASTE

"... a fully realized, complex, satisfying work of art... definitely an album worth coming back to." - AMERICAN SONGWRITER

"One of the most beautifully broken albums of all time." - NME

"Pacific Ocean Blue is a crucial lost chapter in Southern California pop history." - GQ

"A raw, bluesy masterpiece of ocean-worshipping psychedelia." (8.5 out of 10) - PITCHFORK

"Our headphones are still glued to our ears." (5 stars) - TIME OUT CHICAGO

Hear interviews with Dennis Wilson and others as they talk about Pacific Ocean Blue, the long out-of-print album being reissued by Legacy Recordings!

We are now happy to launch this three-part podcast series celebrating the 2-CD Legacy Edition of DENNIS WILSON - PACIFIC OCEAN BLUE in stores from Caribou/Epic/Legacy on June 17. This 1977 album was the first solo release by any of the Wilson brothers and is widely regarded as one of the great lost gems of the late 1970s. The life and music of Dennis Wilson is a a rarely-told, though absolutely essential chapter in the history of the Beach Boys and the Wilson family.

Wilson's close friends, family and collaborators - including Brian Wilson - discuss how his musical passions both reflected and contradicted his hard, fast lifestyle. We also hear from Dennis, himself, in excerpts of a 1977 radio interview.

The show is hosted by another great drummer named Dennis...Dennis Diken of the Smithereens, who has also authored liner notes for many of the recent Beach Boys CD reissues. Listen to Dennis Wilson podcasts here!
