Keeping the summer alive during an era where Brian Wilson’s value and worth as a musical genius had been buried under a blizzard of a surf-rock oldies misconception was Add Some Music, “the respected and fondly-remembered Beach Boys fanzine of 1978-1984.”

Paul Williams and David Leaf had, with their scholarly insights and voluminous in-depth studies, designated the proper perspective by which the music of the Beach Boys should be appreciated and most importantly, enjoyed.

Editor and publisher Don Cunningham, together with writer Jeff Bleiel, have done all Beach Boys admirers (and in fact, lovers of good music) by compiling over 40 articles, essays and reviews into one convenient package.

A wealth of knowledge and information about the gorgeous music we know and love is now available. From an understanding of Brian’s work with children’s songs to a concise reading of Sloop John B’s significance in the scheme of things, from a astute examination of the influence of the Four Freshmen and Chuck Berry to rare assessment of the relative roles of the other Beach Boys (even Mike Love), Add Some Music To Your Day is a indispensable addition to the canon of serious and critical studies on the music of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys.
