THE
MONKEES |
|||
Even with the one of a kind vocals of Circus Boy TV star Mickey Dolenz, the Hermans Hermits pluck of Vaudeville pop singer Davy Jones and the Brian Jones aura of bassist Peter Tork, the real genius of the Monkees was in the bands chief songwriter and guitarist Michael Nesmith. With their now historic Monday night TV show, The Monkees, from the time of their September 1966 prime time debut, were accustomed to working with pioneering pop songwriters such as Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann, Neil Diamond and Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. It would be on the third and fourth Monkees album albums, both from 1967Headquarters and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones LTD.that Nesmith really stepped forth with some great unheralded singing and song writing. Having famous personalities like Dolenz and Jones in the band, Nesmiths contributions may have been overlooked forty + years ago but theyre well worth revisiting on Rhinos CD reissue of both of these Monkees album classics from 1967. These 2007 Rhino reissues follow suit putting together mono and stereo versions of both albums, complete with ample bonus cuts and single masters. www.themonkees.com |
