The Wrecking Crew is to the Sixties what The Immediate Family are to the Seventies, so it’s no accident that music doc director extraordinaire Denny Tedesco tackled both groups of studio musicians in equally fascinating documentaries. While we’re on the topic of Graham Nash, The Immediate Family became Crosby & Nash’s touring ensemble, nicknamed The Mighty Jitters on the road for reasons we won’t go into here.

The next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series is Chuck’s chat with French horn player Alan Robinson, the man whose extraordinary playing graces “God Only Knows.” It’s absolutely incredible what a photographic memory Alan possesses—listening to him speak, it’s as if you’re sitting there right beside him, watching Brian Wilson through the control room glass.

Chuck Granata’s book Wouldn’t It Be Nice: Brian Wilson And The Making Of The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds is the ultimate dissection of Brian Wilson’s 1966 masterpiece. Chuck and I wound up diving so deep into the record, we unfortunately had to seek treatment for the bends…yet thankfully it was a risk worth taking, as Discograffiti’s Pet Sounds Deep-Dive Series stands as a unique combination of factual obsession and personal connection.

The next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series is Part 1 of Chuck’s chat with Brian Wilson’s favorite drummer, legendary studio maestro Hal Blaine. It’s not hard to understand why Brian worked with him so often: Hal claimed to have participated in over 35,000 sessions and 6,000 singles. His drumming is featured on 150 US top 10 hits, 40 of which went to number one. Chuck’s interview with Hal took place while the latter was living in a retirement community, and the tone is definitely

The next entry in the Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series makes for a perfect pairing with last week’s—it’s Chuck’s chat with Brian Wilson’s early mentor Bill Wagner, The Four Freshmen’s manager. This extremely lucid conversation offers a one-after-the-other cavalcade of precious insights, from the first visit to Bill’s office by a green-behind-the-ears Brian in 1958 to the ineffable sadness of later years.

His father Murry took Brian to see the legendary harmony group when he was 14, and he got the opportunity to meet them. The concert and that meeting had a profound effect on young Brian, who said, “My voice was shivering as I was talking to them…I was so in awe of them. It was one of the biggest moments in
