Cultural Facts:

1. Scene Ecology: Drag City connected Southern California surf music with the growing hot-rod culture, using racing slang, revving themes, and bright vocal harmonies.
2. Personal Struggle: Jan Berry suffered severe brain injuries in a 1966 car crash near the stretch of Sunset Boulevard associated with “Dead Man’s Curve,” then spent years relearning how to walk and speak before returning to music.
3. Studio Lore: Berry developed into an ambitious producer and arranger, using layered vocals and Los Angeles session musicians to create records that paralleled the increasingly sophisticated sound of the Beach Boys.
