I'm a huge Beach Boys fan. I love singing groups, as in real good singing groups. The Beach Boys new album "That's Why God Made the Radio" is No. 1 on Amazon and doing quite well nationally. The title track is great.

It's kind of a combination of early-type Beach Boys stuff [["Spring Vacation" typical surf n' drag type song), but a lot of melancholy stuff that is similar to their critically acclained [[which didn't sell that well) early 70's albums. Yeah, a lot of the material is like their old material, that's their trademark. After 50 years you're not going to change dramatically. But the harmonies are still there. I'm hoping to catch a show this summer on their 50th anniversary tour.

The group has always given a nod to soul music and has toured with many soul groups.
