Catch a wave : the rise, fall & redemption of the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson

Everyone knows the music. No band sells 100 million albums and remains adored for more than four decades without making an impact on the world. So why hasn't anyone got round to telling the real story? Because, as 'Catch a Wave' shows, the story of the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson is about the way the American dream filters through popular culture and how the American appetite (for money and success) can destroy it. And in 'Catch a Wave', the entire tale of Wilson's rise to fame, his battle with mental illness and drugs, and his emergence into a new of creativity, comes straight from the people who actually lived it.

  • "Brian Wilson was the visionary behind America's most successful and influential rock band. As the leader of the Beach Boys, he sold 100 million records and built a catalog of songs that continues to define the sound and feel of American popular music. He also became one of the culture's most mysterious and tragic figures--but after spending years lost in a wilderness of despair, Wilson has fought his way back to productivity. Now journalist Carlin, who conducted in-depth interviews with dozens of sources and listened to hundreds of hours of unreleased studio recordings and live music, tells a uniquely American story of the band, the music, and the culture the Beach Boys both sang about and helped create.--From publisher description."@en
