Al Jardine Revives Forgotten Beach Boys Gem | Music News

Al Jardine resurrects a forgotten Beach Boys gem, “Back Home,” from the 1976 15 Big Ones album, bringing it back to life on stage in Ohio after decades of silence. The track, originally penned in 1963 and shelved through multiple re-recordings, now shines as part of Jardine’s deep-dive into the band’s overlooked catalog — including full performances of The Beach Boys Love You and Pet Sounds material. With Mike Love’s tour canceled for “recharging,” Jardine and his band are stepping in, blending surf classics with ’70s gems and celebrating Pet Sounds’ 60th anniversary. Fans are thrilled by surprise tracks like “Back Home,” and as the Smile album’s 60th anniversary looms in 2027, expect even more Smile-era magic to emerge.
