The Beach Boys - Keepin' The Summer Alive (1980) [2015 Hi-Res]

Keepin' The Summer Alive, released in 1980, was lushly produced by Bruce Johnston after an ill-fated attempt to have Brian Wilson helm the album. Featuring string and horn sections and many contributing musicians, among them Joe Walsh on guitar on the title track, this is the last Beach Boys album issued before the death of Dennis Wilson in 1983. The drummer refused to participate in the recording of Keepin' The Summer Alive and only appears on one old track from 1972.
