The Beach Boys, "Pet Sounds" Pt. I

After years of constantly touring with The Beach Boys, massive anxiety and stress, and a lifetime of abuse, Brian Wilson finally attempted to put into music the hopelessness, pain, and confusion he could never organize in his own mind. And the result, "Pet Sounds," was a compositional and emotional masterpiece. This album is incredibly special and one of my all-time favorites. In this episode, we'll talk about the band's beginnings in California all the way up through the 7 songs on Side 1 of "Pet Sounds."
