Discography
Discography is the study and cataloging of published sound recordings, often by specified artists or within identified music genres. The exact information included varies depending on the type and scope of the discography, but a discography entry for a specific recording will often list such details as the names of the artists involved, the time and place of the recording, the title of the piece performed, release dates, chart positions, and sales figures.Roy Shuker. Popular Music: The Key Concepts'. Routledge, 2005. 80. A discography can also refer to the recordings catalogue of an individual artist, group, or orchestra. This is distinct from a sessionography, which is a catalogue of recording sessions, rather than a catalogue of the records, in whatever medium, that are made from those recordings. The two are sometimes confused, especially in jazz, as specific release dates for jazz records are often difficult to ascertain, and session dates are substituted as a means of organi ...

The Beach Boys
The Beach Boys are an American Rock music, rock band formed in Hawthorne, California, in 1961. The group's original lineup consisted of brothers Brian Wilson, Brian, Dennis Wilson, Dennis, and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and their friend Al Jardine. Distinguished by their vocal harmonies, adolescent-oriented lyrics, and musical ingenuity, they are one of the most influential acts of the rock era. The group drew on the music of Traditional pop, older pop vocal groups, 1950s rock and roll, and black R&B to create their unique sound. Under Brian's direction, they often incorporated classical music, classical or jazz elements and Recording studio as an instrument, unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways. The Beach Boys formed as a garage band centered on Brian's songwriting and managed by the Wilsons' father, Murry Wilson, Murry. Jardine was briefly replaced by David Marks during 1962–1963.

Keepin' The Summer Alive
''Keepin' the Summer Alive'' is the 24th studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released March 24, 1980, on Brother, Caribou and CBS Records. Produced by Bruce Johnston, the album peaked at number 75 in the US, during a chart stay of 6 weeks, and number 54 in the UK. It is the group's last album to feature Dennis Wilson, who drowned in 1983, although he only appears on one song recorded in 1969. The album included new material alongside several older songs that had not been released up until that point. Two of the new songs were written by Carl Wilson and Randy Bachman, the title track and " Livin' with a Heartache". The latter was released as a single alongside " Goin' On", written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love. Brian wrote or co-wrote five of the other seven tracks. Background and recording After the band's previous album, ''L.A. (Light Album)'' (1979), failed to live up to commercial expectations, the executives at CBS expected another album as soon as possible. In ...

Ten Years Of Harmony
''Ten Years of Harmony'' is an official double album compilation album released by the Beach Boys in 1981, and spanning their entire Brother Records-era up to that point (1970–80), including some unreleased or rare material. Although the song " Darlin'" had originally been recorded in 1967 while the group was signed to Capitol Records, the version on ''Ten Years of Harmony'' was recorded live in 1973 for the album ''The Beach Boys in Concert''. The Beach Boys had more or less splintered in 1981. Far from lucid, Brian Wilson would occasionally appear on stage, primarily as a replacement for brother Carl, who was embarking on a solo career. Dennis Wilson would show up to occasional concerts, but would usually be argumentative and disruptive. Mike Love, Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston were the only stable members of a band who now had a whole cast of supporting musicians when they performed live. However, the release of ''Ten Years of Harmony'' kept the pretense going and, unexpect ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Beach Boys (album)
''The Beach Boys'' is the 25th studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on June 10, 1985. Produced by Steve Levine, the album is the band's first after the drowning of founding member Dennis Wilson. It was also the band's first album to be recorded digitally and the last released by James William Guercio's Caribou Records. The record charted at number 52 in the U.S. and number 60 in the UK. Production Brian Wilson's psychologist Eugene Landy, who was originally awarded co-writing credits on Wilson's songs, stated in a contemporary interview, "I'm practically a member of the band ..Brian's got the talent to make the music. ..He's the creator. The other band members are just performers. So I'm the one who's making the album." Among the guest musicians, Ringo Starr played drums on "California Calling", while Stevie Wonder played most of the instruments on "I Do Love You". Reception Critical reaction was mixed.

Carl Wilson
Carl Dean Wilson (December 21, 1946 – February 6, 1998) was an American musician, singer, and songwriter who co-founded the Beach Boys. He was their lead guitarist, the youngest sibling of bandmates Brian Wilson, Brian and Dennis Wilson, Dennis, and the group's ''de facto'' leader in the early to mid-1970s. He was also the band's musical director on stage from 1965 until his death. Influenced by the guitar playing of Chuck Berry and the Ventures, Wilson's initial role in the group was that of lead guitarist and backing singer, but he performed lead vocals on several of their later hits, including "God Only Knows" (1966), "Good Vibrations" (1966), "I Can Hear Music" (1969), and "Kokomo (song), Kokomo" (1988). Unlike other members of the band, he often played alongside the session musician, studio musicians employed during the group's critical and commercial peak in the mid-1960s. After Brian's reduced involvement with the group, Carl produced the bulk of their albums betwee ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Carl Wilson (album)
''Carl Wilson'' is the debut solo album of The Beach Boys' band member, Carl Wilson. The youngest of the three Wilson brothers in the band, Carl Wilson was reportedly at this time unhappy with the progress being made by The Beach Boys creatively. Just as his brother Dennis had a few years earlier, Carl signed a solo contract with James William Guercio's CBS-distributed Caribou Records, which four years prior put out brother Dennis's album ''Pacific Ocean Blue'', and was also the current label of The Beach Boys. The album was released on March 27, 1981 and peaked at number 185 on the ''Billboard'' 200. Of the eight tracks on the album, seven of them are written by Carl Wilson and Myrna Smith, who was the wife of Carl's then manager Jerry Schilling, with the remaining track being co-written by Carl, Myrna and Michael Sun.

Youngblood (Carl Wilson Album)
''Youngblood'' is the second studio album by Carl Wilson. It was released in 1983 by Caribou Records. It was re-issued on CD on September 21, 2010. Writing Wilson said, "This time, that soul or rhythm-and-blues flavor is most evident in the writing. I loved those soul records that were coming out in the mid-1960s, and all the great singers who were around then. I wanted that edgy kind of emotional energy in the songs, so you can really feel them." Reception Robert Palmer of ''The New York Times'' said the album "will appeal to some of those people who find Beach Boys music too sweet and bland. It's guitar-based mainstream rock, with soul and gospel roots, a far cry from the blue-eyed barbershop harmonies popularized by the Beach Boys." Track listing All tracks composed by Carl Wilson and Myrna Smith; except where indicated. #"What More Can I Say" – 3:26 #"She's Mine" – 3:04 #"Givin' You Up" (Carl Wilson, Myrna Smith, Jerry Schilling) – 4:41 #"One More Night Alone" (Bill ...

Dennis Wilson
Dennis Carl Wilson (December 4, 1944 – December 28, 1983) was an American musician, singer, and songwriter who co-founded the Beach Boys. He was their drummer and the middle brother of bandmates Brian Wilson, Brian and Carl Wilson as well as a first cousin of other bandmate Mike Love. Dennis was the only true surfer in the Beach Boys, and his personal life exemplified the "California sound, California myth" that the band's early songs often celebrated. He was also known for his association with the Manson Family and for co-starring in the 1971 film ''Two-Lane Blacktop.'' Wilson served mainly on drums and backing vocals for the Beach Boys. His playing can be heard on many of the group's hits, belying the popular misconception that he was always replaced on record by studio musicians. He originally had few lead vocals on the band's songs due to his limited baritone range, but his prominence as a singer-songwriter increased following their 1968 album ''Friends (The Beach Boys alb ...

Pacific Ocean Blue
''Pacific Ocean Blue'' is the only solo studio album by American musician Dennis Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys. When released in August 1977, it was warmly received critically, and noted for outselling the Beach Boys' contemporary efforts. Two singles were issued from the album, " River Song" and " You and I", which did not chart. The album remains a focal point of Wilson's legacy, being referred to as a "classic". It was voted number 838 in Colin Larkin's ''All Time Top 1000 Albums''. Wilson intended to record a follow-up, entitled '' Bambu'', but the album was left unfinished at the time of his death in December 1983. Background and recording After several attempts, starting in 1970, to realize his own project, some of which made it to the finished album, Wilson recorded the bulk of ''Pacific Ocean Blue'' in the months spanning the fall of 1976 to the following spring, at the Beach Boys' own Brother Studios. At the time of recording, Dennis' hard living had begun affec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
