The Beach Boys

Since the early 80's. studio activities The Beach Boys drastically reduced, reduced to the occasional recording of the album, which for 15 years, came only four (in this group continued to tour). In 1985 came the album «The Beach Boys», in the record which was attended by Boy George, Steve Uander and Ringo Starr. In 1988, the group postig unexpected success: their song «Kokomo» from the movie «cocktail» won first place in Billboard Hot 100 - the first time since 1966 - that led to a recording of the album «Still Cruisin '» (1989), in which the recording attended rap group Fat Boys. Following came the album «Summer In Paradise» (1992), which attempt to Beach Boys to record the album in his early style. Four years later came «Stars And Stripes, Vol. 1 »- dubbing his old hits in the style of country with the participation of famous musicians (Willie Nelson, Toby Keith, etc.). The second album never saw the light, making it «Stars And Stripes» 1996, the last studio work of The Beach Boys (for the record as the last time brought together Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson and Alan Dzhardin) and it also can be considered the end of the biography The Beach Boys: in 1999, Carl Wilson died of cancer, Dzhardin have previously left The Beach Boys and has since traveled to the concert with his own group. The three remaining Old Party The Beach Boys - Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and Mike Kowalski (live and studio drummer of the group later in 1968), however, continue to act under the name The Beach Boys, although they present concerts by more than a tribute to nostalgia .

Due to prolonged psychotherapy Health Brian Wilson has improved significantly, allowing the musician to record new songs. To the surprise of many Wilson, known for its long-zatvornichestvom became actively touring. In 2004, he finished last, the legendary «Smile» - a project that was abandoned in 1967 and since then, look forward to his fans. Wilson completely overwritten all the songs, as closely as possible to the sound of the 60's. With the album Wilson in 2003-05 biennium. gave a series of successful concerts. Now it is difficult to assess whether the work is indeed the highest artistic achievements of musicians, as it was withdrawn from the context of his time.
