In this special episode of LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl, host Scott Dudelson speaks with Beach Boys co-founder Al Jardine for an intimate and wide-ranging conversation that honors a musical brotherhood spanning more than six decades and dives into Al's next creative chapter.

Jardine reflects on the recent passing of Brian Wilson, sharing deeply personal memories, behind-the-scenes stories from the Beach Boys "Love You" era, and the creative spark that helped shape one of the most influential bands in music history.

The episode also explores Jardine’s new Island in the Sun EP—how revisiting archival recordings led to new inspiration, and how themes of nature, spirituality, and family continue to drive his songwriting. From unexpected collaborations with Neil Young and Flea to the quirky backstory behind Brian Wilson's “Ding Dang,” Jardine offers fresh insight into both classic tracks and his new material.

Listeners will also hear about his upcoming tour with members of the Brian Wilson Touring Band - now called The Pet Sounds Band - and how the music continues to evolve while staying rooted in the harmonies and heart that defined the Beach Boys.

A moving tribute, a creative journey, and a rare conversation with a rock and roll icon.
