The Peter Ames Carlin Thread
Peter Ames Carlin:
hi TD - yeah, 'Run Devil Run' is a terrific album. The tune, too, and ditto on the harmonies. If they sound like his Linda duets she was definitely all over his mind when he was making that record. And also don't forget he arranged all those old vocals, and often doubled Linda's parts after she sang them. So he was more than accustomed to thinking in those terms, harmonically. Though I bet he altered the style a bit when he no longer had his beloved as a singing partner.
TdHabib:
They had a great harmonic blend---especially on the "Ram" album and such (I always remember Elton's quote about how the "Ram" harmonies were the best he'd heard in a long time).
Peter, if you're still here, how was Eric Stewart to interview? Despite the sometimes shoddy material (Pipes and Press and the like) he, Linda and Paul sounded fantastic together.

Hi all,
I read Catch A Wave last September. I enjoyed it very much. Peter did an excelleny job. I like that Carine was interviewed also. I learned a lot of the private lives of the group. Last September was the first time I heard about Mike's breakdown. Brian did have it hard. The drugs were a way of dealing with things for the three brothers. One could say they were medicting themselves. Others could say they were doing self abuse. The lost years were sad. It is great that once Smile was released Brian started to feel relief. Shelving Smile did have an enormous effect in Brian. This book is a very good example of how having fame and money doesn't mean compelete and total happiness. Catch A Wave is a must read for fans.
KDS:
I've read Catch a Wave twice, and it's a wonderful read.
With the buzz from the new record, the Love and Mercy movie, and Brian's upcoming autobiography, is there any chance of an updated edition of Catch a Wave to include That Lucky Old Sun, That's Why God Made the Radio, the 50th Anniversary Beach Boys Tour, and No Pier Pressure?
MaryUSA:
Hi all,
That would be wonderful if that did happen!!! :)
