Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Beach Boys' 'Keepin' the Summer Alive' revisits the group's familiar summer and nostalgia imagery in a late-period soft rock setting. The album reflects the band's difficulty balancing its established vocal identity with changing pop and rock production styles at the start of the 1980s.
