Murry's Thoughts On Post-Pet Sounds Albums

[Disney Boy (1985)]

So, to summarise, no-one knows what Murry's thoughts were on the post-Pet Sounds albums....

Ok, anyone know which Beach Boys songs were his personal favourites?

I recently posted this info in a different thread, but as a follow-up to my earlier post and question of 5 months ago in this thread, it turns out that Carl Wilson's comment on Murry's involvement in the Friends album was from an audio interview heard on the six hour radio special "The Beach Boys - The Best Summers of Our Lives", (written by Ken Barnes and narrated by Charlie Van Dyke and Wolfman Jack), which was originally broadcast on many US stations during Labor Day weekend in early September 1976.  The program featured interviews with every member of the band.

As the program got into discussing the Friends album Carl was interviewed and he stated, "The Friends album, Brian did that album mostly with my dad, and it was just a really easy project, and he enjoyed it.  My dad sang on that album."

I hope that's true. Bet that would've made Dennis secretly really happy.

"The Many Thoughts Of Murry Wilson" From Capitol Records, get it today at your favorite record store (mono and duophonic stereo).

I'm still blown away that one of the songs on that album was written entirely by Al.

Al's amazing, isn't he? I mean, none other than his song is featured on Murry's record (Didn't the latter dislike Al at some point?).
Also, the song could be arranged by whomever else, but the fact is the music's written by Al. So cool to know this about my favorite Beach Boy.
Btw, Italia is one of the best songs in the album. The accordion bit is beautiful! Liked & like the sound of that instrument.

I wonder if this was a way for Murry to atone for how he treated Al in the Help Me Rhonda sessions

If Al would have sung from his heart, we would have never heard "Italia."
