Title: BBC 'Bambu: Lost Albums' Doc. Post by: Luke_Barshack on May 27, 2008, 11:00:22 AM BBC Radio 4 ran a great 'Lost Albums' Doc on Dennis's 'Bambu', running at about 25 mins.
Really enjoyable! Check it out on Listen Again right here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/ Title: Re: BBC 'Bambu: Lost Albums' Doc. Post by: JCarson on May 27, 2008, 11:57:56 AM Just heard this doc and wondered if the link had been posted here. I have not been disappointed: nice work Luke!
Pete Paphides (now chief rock critic with The Times - apparently) gives a very positive assessment of Dennis Wilson's legacy, even if he calls "Fifth of July" one of the great Dennis Wilson contributions to the Beach Boys! (I don't even consider myself a first division BB fan and I still get a snobbish kick out of spotting mistakes like this). Good to hear the actual voices of family, friends and associates. I still wonder to what extent Bambu was ever really considered an album project as opposed to a bunch of occasional sessions (the doc leaves this kinda vague). Anyway, it looks like Dennis Wilson is getting a lot of attention this summer. And this can only be a good thing. I can't wait for the POB reissue. Haven't been this excited since August '04!

Fifth of July...probably a British thing... ;) I think Dennis had a two-record deal with Caribou, and a follow-up to POB was definitely expected. It just dragged on and on with no end in sight due to his personal problems. Title: Re: BBC 'Bambu: Lost Albums' Doc. Post by: DonnaK on May 27, 2008, 06:59:04 PM Thanks so much Luke!!!
