Still Cruisin' is The Beach Boys' twenty-sixth album, released in 1989. It marked a brief return of the band on their first major label Capitol Records.After the release of their self-titled album in 1985, The Beach Boys resumed touring without Brian Wilson who was working on his first solo album (as well as being under the control of his psychiatrist Eugene Landy). The only songs recorded by the band during that period were made for movie soundtracks (such as Troop Beverly Hills and Lethal Weapon 2) but one soundtrack song would bring them back to the spotlight: Kokomo. Composed for the movie Cocktail, the single unexpectedly topped the US charts, which was a fourth time for the band 21 years after ''Good Vibrations''. It's probably based on this song that The Beach Boys decided to get back in the studio and record an album comprised of movie soundtrack songs, an album which would ride on Kokomo's success.While Still Cruisin' was a commercial success (again, thanks to Kokomo being its lead single), it was panned by critics. Major points of criticism were the album only having 3 recent songs which were composed for movies and the inclusion of three Beach Boys songs from the 60s, along with a recent 1987 collaboration with The Fat Boys ("Wipeout") in a desperate attempt to fulfill the album's concept (and also a desperate attempt at extending the album's length, because if you remove those 4 tracks, Still Cruisin' only lasts around 22 minutes). Production by Terry Melcher was also commented as making The Beach Boys "sound like a 60s cover band".Such a critical backlash would lead this album (along with Summer in Paradise) to be completely ignored in 2001 when Capitol Records decided to reissue The Beach Boys' discography, making it out of print despite its Gold status. Still Cruisin' is also often forgotten when the band's history is discussed, with some biographies never mentioning it or other biographies citing it as a compilation (this could be because of the three 60s tracks). | |

Location Song | |
| Still Cruisin' (Music) / int_705148cf | comment |
Location Song: Somewhere Near Japan (which is actually the island of Guam, based on the song's backstory). Kokomo as an island is an imaginary place (despite the existence of some locations named Kokomo in Hawaii and Indiana). However, there are many islands located near the caribbeans which are mentionned in the song's lyrics. | |
