Description
Brian Wilson's story is one of remarkable resilience and creative rebirth. As the co-founder and primary songwriter of the Beach Boys, Wilson created some of the most groundbreaking and enduring popular music of the 1960s. His innovative approach to songwriting, which incorporated intricate harmonies and symphonic structures, expanded the possibilities of pop music and produced timeless classics like 'In My Room', 'God Only Knows', and 'Good Vibrations'. Despite struggling with mental illness and personal turmoil in the 1970s, Wilson continued to create music and eventually regained stability and creative relevance. In this deeply personal and introspective memoir, Wilson shares his story, working through the challenges and complexities of his life and legacy. He reveals the making of the legendary unfinished Beach Boys record, Smile, and the journey that led him to complete it. Through his own voice and perspective, Wilson illuminates the man behind the music, offering a unique and unflinching look at his life and art.
