Inside the Music of Brian Wilson (subtitled The Songs, Sounds, and Influences of the Beach Boys' Founding Genius) is a 2007 book that analyzes the music of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, authored by American musicologist Philip Lambert. It is the first book dedicated primarily to Wilson's music, rather than his personal life.[1]

Reception
In his review for PopMatters, Adam Bunch rued that the book has limited appeal to casual fans of the Beach Boys, as it requires the reader to have a rudimentary understanding of music theory.[1] Quentin Rowan of the New York Post concurred, "Lambert himself is a professor of music theory, and at times, although enlightening, his prose borders on being for music scholars alone."[4]
