Thanks for the tip. I’ve been listening to the samples on iTunes and it’s clear that Dennis anticipated many of the trends that would follow. Kind of reminds me of listening to Shuggie Otis and thinking, “I’ve heard this somewhere before. . . “
Dennis Wilson is one of my all-time faves! The music he made toward the end of his rather tragic career was undeniably Christian. Don’t believe me? Check out the following four quotes, all found on the recent re-release of Pacific Ocean Blues/Bambu Sessions:
“I believe my Jesus is in my soul. Come on brother, let’s rock and roll.” (Friday Night)
“I know a carpenter who had a dream, killed the man but you couldn’t kill the dream. Who said it was easy? People gotta be free!” (Dreamer)
“My Jesus, you open up my heart and make me laugh when I’m feelin’ down. No more lonely nights.” (You and I)
“Turn the corner all alone? He meets you there. The one you love is everywhere, and you can follow. When summer burns and winter blows, the Holy Man. When you lose the innocence, he’s standing there. Holy Man will meet you there.” (The Holy Man)

Amazing, no? I think so!
