All Summer Long

Yep.

And so All Summer Long is an, one of those albums that I fell in love with.

I listen to it every summer.

Um, and, and the, the mus- and, and it's kind of right in the middle of the period that the book covers.

We'll be right back with music historian David Beard.

The name of the book, All Summer Long.

You're going to be blown away by the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, and so much more.

We are back

They know who it's about immediately.

Yep.

So all summer long is one of those albums that I fell in love with.

I listen to it every summer and and the music and it's kind of right in the middle of the period that the book covers.

Um, but, but again, you know, there were, there were a few things that I, that I kind of, um, had in my quiver, um, arrows in my quiver that I, I, I wanted to definitely take a shot with, um, just things like talking about the absurdity of smile.

you know, talking about All Summer Long as the initial introduction of nostalgia, because the Beach Boys, you know, there's a nostalgic element to them that goes all the way back to there, you know, where they're, you know, All Summer Long has a nostalgic element to it.

I wanted to express that.

just the perfection of that album for its time and how it expressed.

Dance, Dance, Dance is a hybrid.

But the Beach Boys play a lot of the instruments on the Beach Boys today, but it has a ton of Wrecking Crew on it too.

But if you go back again one step earlier, all summer long, There's mostly Beach Boys, probably 80% of that is Beach Boys with a little bit of Wrecking Crew sort of.
