Domenic Priore
Domenic Priore is an author and music historian with a particular focus on Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys.
He appears to have insider knowledge of the California music scene, especially in Los Angeles.
Priore's writing style is described as passionate and detailed, though some readers find it biased towards Brian Wilson and against other Beach Boys members, particularly Mike Love.
His close connection to Wilson's circle allows him to provide unique insights, but also raises questions about objectivity.
Priore's work extends beyond just the SMiLE album, covering broader aspects of the Beach Boys' career and the 1960s music scene in Southern California.
