Surfer Girl

Surfer Girl (1963) is the third studio album from The Beach Boys, and the first on which the brilliant Brian Wilson was given complete production credit. The album features the hit title-track, the classic Little Deuce Coupe, and, perhaps most importantly, the gorgeous and lush In My Room, which gave a hint of the dense production brilliance that Wilson would perfect three years later with the immortal Pet Sounds (1966). Surfer Girl spent more than a year on the US charts and is the perfect balance between early surf party Beach Boys and the later, more introspective sounds they are now best known for. Another early '60s American classic resurrected by Rumble.
