Though the roots of 1977's Pacific Ocean Blue go back to the early '70s, Dennis Wilson's one issued solo project is certainly a product of its time, both musically and texturally. The 12 songs reveal a songwriter who was looking to stretch out on his own and engage a vision of music that stood far outside what the Beach Boys were capable of handling or executing. It's a moody view of the SoCal landscape, and of Wilson's own interior life - or his struggle to have one. From the seminal opener "River Song," we can hear a new kind of West Coast music emerging. 

Dennis created a classic piece of '70s LA rock, that wound itself around the emerging R&B of the time, interlaced with horn lines, synths, and funky basslines cutting through; all steeped in a gorgeous, lush groove that won't quit. Mostly, however, Pacific Ocean Blue is a diary. Given that it was recorded over nearly seven years, the songs reflect a snapshot of his life in the studio: what he was capable of, what he learned, and how he stretched himself. Pacific Ocean Blue is a classic, blissed-out, coked-up slice of '70s rock and pop that is every bit as essential as Fleetwood Mac's Rumours.
