Here's a little something iv'e been tinkering about these past few weeks. What if Brian was still the main songwriter (not necessarily producer) of the Beach Boys albums from 1969 and 1970. As much as I love both 20/20 and Sunflower (both in my top 5 for sure), assembling these 2 albums made me realize how much awesome Brian Wilson music didn't come out during this extraordinary period.
With the 1969 Reverberation, there is only one Dennis composition and the rest is all Brian, very much like Friends was. Like some kind of mini White Album, we follow Brian's take of revisited surf music, americana, psychedelic oddities and covers, sweet Pet Sounds-like ballads and a continuation of SMiLE experiments on tracks like Can't Wait Too Long.
Add Some Music would have been out by the end of 1970 in that universe. Side A is a loose concept album about an old circus airplane driver who wants to get back in shape to win the heart of his beloved. The songs on Side B aren't related but sonically they recall a more updated Pet Sounds feel.
Enjoy both albums, love & mercy!
