After all, that ‘album’ was a part of over 20 (and counting) recreations by fans and other artists (including Wilson himself). The latter is probably one of the biggest legends/myths in modern music. Part of those is focused on the band’s original mastermind and songwriter Brian Wilson, and his both released and originally unreleased masterpieces Pet Sounds and Smile. And the range is practically infinite – from gossip articles and obituaries to voluminous books and academic studies. There’s rarely a band around which has more things written about it than The Beach Boys. ![]() DAVID LEAF – GOD ONLY KNOWS: THE STORY OF BRIAN WILSON, THE BEACH BOYS & THE CALIFORNIA MYTH OMNIBUS PRESS BOOK REVIEW BY: LJUBINKO ZIVKOVIC ![]()
