Description
By their thirteenth album, 1967s transitional Wild Honey, the Beach Boys had well and truly left the beach and embraced sounds and topics that were now a part of the California zeitgeist; theres psychedelia and even a hint of spiritual awareness. The Beach Boys were embracing a brave new world and did so with the rocking title track, a Stevie Wonder cover, the fabulous Darlin and Id Love Just Once to See You.
Village Voice critic Robert Christgau praised Wild Honey with an A+ review, writing, Its perfect and full of pleasure; it does what it sets out to do almost without a bad second. Bruce Johnston says that Wild Honey showcases a band devoid of pressure, Heres the thing the most important thing you need to know about Wild Honey. It was just an album for us to exhale and do something real simple; but as its Brian and Mikes music, its still fabulous and not so simple. I love the album.
