You’ve heard his lyrics on classic albums like Dennis Wilson Pacific Ocean Blue and the Beach Boys Friends.
His 1969 collaboration with Brian Wilson, A World of Peace Must Come, gained almost legendary status as one of pop’s most storied lost albums before being resurrected to great acclaim by Light in the Attic Records in 2008.
Now, you are cordially invited to take a trip into the mind of poet and songwriter Stephen J. Kalinich.
Heyday Again Records presents I Love My Life – a postcard from one of the last standing poets of peace and excitation.
You’ll see why heavy-hitters like Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Paul McCartney, Steve Cropper, PF Sloan, and Diana Ross all have worked with him. Produced by Willie Aron & Milo Binder with Kalinich - featuring vocal and instrumental contributions by Randell Kirsch (Beach Boys, Jan & Dean), Rob Bonfiglio (Wilson Phillips), and others. Recorded at Pasadena’s The Pie Studios and engineered by Jeff Peters, who has worked with the Beach Boys collectively and individually for forty years.
