Surf City / Dean Torrence Book Review
Best Classic Bands.com - October 06, 2016
In 2016, Dean Torrence, of '60s singing surf duo Jan & Dean, published a long-awaited autobiography that takes the reader back to the guys' heyday and beyond-- the highs and lows, great success and enormous tragedy. Both of the fellows were personal friends of mine many years ago, so Dean's unflinchingly honest account was a real trip back in time for me. I might not have been the most impartial reviewer, but I felt an obligation to give it a write-up for one of the popular online music sites.
