Free Music Notes for Surfer Girl/Shut Down, Vol. 2
Free Music Review: Last of the Surf Albums and some Car songs
Hit: 5 Stars
Interesting pairing of albums/CD's. Surfer Girl was the last of their surf themed albums, but what a great one. They had matured musically quite a bit by this time and it shows. There is some filler instrumentals here, but a great album. The title "Shutdown Vol. 2" is slightly misleading in that it implies that there was a Beach Boys album titled Shutdown. There wasn't, but there was a fairly rare Capitol compilation album called "Shutdown" that had 2 Beach Boys songs on it including the title song, "Shutdown". The rest of the songs on the album are not real good compared to the Beach Boys songs, but its a collectable now. I have a copy of it autographed by all of the Beach Boys circa 1964, really cool! Shutdown Vol. 2 does have some great songs on it quite a mix of song types, not all car songs although the album cover(one of my favorites)seems to imply that. "Don't Worry Baby" is one of Brian's most beautiful songs even if it is about somebody about to race and his worrys. I also really loved the extra track, "I Do". Obviously Brians feelings about his wife and marriage were the inspiration, it made me choke up thinking about similar feelings I have in common. Wow!

Surfer Girl may have been the band's third album release, but it was the first to bear the imprimatur of founder and creative mainstay Brian Wilson as producer, and the difference is palpable from the confident opening tracks onward. That one-two combo, "Surfer Girl" and "Catch a Wave," also effectively serves as the blueprint for much of the Beach Boys' subsequent sound. On the former, Wilson's falsetto soars over a tender, yet musically sophisticated, ballad, while the latter features Mike Love's trademark twang urgently proselytizing SoCal surf, both over band harmonies that seemed to grow tighter and more adventurous with every cut. That artistic axis is revisited yet again on "Little Deuce Coupe" and "In My Room," the latter ballad showcasing Wilson's full artistic arsenal and giving an early glimpse into his introspective soul. The curiously titled "Shut Down, Part II" (a de facto sequel to an earlier hit EP) sought to further the band beyond its ironic sea-and-sun fetish (none but Dennis Wilson ever surfed) into the burgeoning hot-rod subculture as well. The results were understandably uneven, but the high points remain nothing short of spectacular, including the Love-propelled "Fun, Fun, Fun," Wilson's knowing nod to Phil Spector, "Don't Worry Baby," and the underrated "The Warmth of the Sun." Bonus cuts include the single mix of "Fun, Fun, Fun," a German-language version of "In My Room," and the previously unreleased, largely experimental "I Do" by Wilson and Love. Brian offers up a brief commentary on both albums in the notes, while David Leaf (author of the pioneering bio The Beach Boys and the California Myth) documents the music track-by-track. --Jerry McCulley
