ALBUM DESCRIPTION
With the addition of drummer Ricky Fataar and guitarist Blondie Chaplin to the
lineup, the Beach Boys entered a period of surprisingly earthy arrangements,
obviously based on what they'd been hearing on cooler outlets like FM radio and
AOR. Kicking off with the rough Carl Wilson rocker "You Need a Mess of Help to
Stand Alone," Carl and the Passions - So Tough cycles through all manner of
roots-based rock; Fataar and Chaplin lead the band through a bluesy number
("Here She Comes") and a country song complete with steel guitar ("Hold On Dear
Brother"), while Mike Love exercises his spiritual side on the gospel-inspired
"He Came Down." The songwriting was neither as solid as 1970's Sunflower nor as
idiosyncratic as 1971's Surf's Up though, and the few fans left from the '60s
were undoubtedly turned off -- if not by the weak songs, then certainly by the
muddy sound. Still, there are a few moments of beauty: Brian's "Marcella" is a
mid-tempo gem, and side two ends with three excellent ballads, "All This Is
That," "Make It Good," and "Cuddle Up" (the latter two featuring heart-wrenching
performances by Dennis). [Carl and the Passions - So Tough was made available in
2000 as half of the two-fer compilation Carl and the Passions - So
Tough/Holland.]
