LYRICIST TONY ASHER REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND HIS WORK WITH BRIAN WILSON ON THE BEACH BOYS' PET SOUNDS (Part 1) (The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series) (Ep. 219B)

The next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series is Part 1 of Chuck’s chat with Tony Asher, Brian Wilson’s lyrical collaborator on Pet Sounds. Since I didn’t conduct the interview, I can be fully honest in my assessment without fear of reprisal: this is easily the best Tony Asher interview in existence. You won’t want to miss a minute of this multi-part extravaganza. The amount of insight on display is mind-blowing and thoroughly indispensable. All I can say is: Thank you, Chuck.

Here’s just a few of the many things that Tony discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

• A comprehensive verbal tour of Brian and Marilyn’s house on Laurel Way;
• How Tony knew definitively that he’d gotten far too stoned with Brian at his house one day;
• Tony’s certainty that he’d introduced Brian to both the bass flute…AND THE THEREMIN;
• And Brian’s singularly unique judiciousness in booking session musicians.

There’ll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti’s Patreon. Don’t miss it, or you’ll only be getting part of the story. Get it as a one-off, or better yet just subscribe.
