It’s like sitting ’round a bonfire at night, the ocean crashing in the background and a baby grand wedged into the circle. That’s Dennis Wilson’s Pacific Ocean Blue. It’s mom and dad’s background music after a couple glasses of wine, dancing in the living room (“”I Love You””), and it’s psychedelic love strums and beat yelling that college students have loved from the ’70s onward (“”Dreamer””). Wilson’s vocals are uninhibited, gritty and loose, and his piano tapping is tangibly fresh (“”River Song””).
