HAL BLAINE REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND HIS WORK WITH BRIAN WILSON & THE BEACH BOYS (Ep. 239B)

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. This is the interview you’d hope for if you prayed for all the things you wanted Hal Blaine to talk about in a stream of consciousness style, without a filter: what it was like to work with an acid-addled Brian Wilson; how it felt working at The Beach Boys home studio with the rest of the group; attempting to work with Joe Thomas; how it felt having Murry Wilson around; working with a wildly inebriated John Phillips; and how he feels he got accepted into his senior living community.

This entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series is the second part of Chuck’s chat with Brian Wilson’s favorite drummer, legendary studio maestro Hal Blaine. It’s not hard to understand why Brian worked with him so often: Hal claimed to have participated in over 35,000 sessions and 6,000 singles. His drumming is featured on 150 US top 10 hits, 40 of which went to number one. Chuck’s interview with Hal took place while the latter was living in a retirement community, and the tone is definitely “no shits given” by this point. Hal passed away a few years later in 2019, which makes this posthumously released “Chuck Chat” yet another priceless buried treasure.
