Dave1291 Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 It's really a fantastic album and I'm sure there will be more coming before he signs off. He starts doing all of his great stuff there will be many to choose from. What a start though! Such a clean recording too. 2 Quote
Shiva Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 These days, when I see the word Alabama, I think of seeing this group for the first time on this night on Letterman. Alabama Shakes. 4 1 Quote

BigStewMan Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 "Two little kings playing a game, they gave a war and nobody came." Epic line there. I've had this song memorized since my age was in the single digits (a young hippie in the SF/Oakland Bay Area) -- long before I could even comprehend the meaning. it's a short song; but worth the listen. 1 Quote

BigStewMan Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 @Full Range you and I are both huge prog guys. YES being my favorite prog band, hands down by far; but I've always loved The Monkees since I was a little kid -- and still enjoy that music today. As an adult and a guitar player, I've discovered why ... while the first two albums were strictly session musicians, these were some of the best session musicians in the business. Many of the famed Wrecking Crew from the 60s played on Monkees albums ... the likes of Glen Campbell, Louie Shelton, Carol Kaye ... just top shelf musicians. TWO YEARS before The Monkees, Mike Nesmith had already written the song Different Drum that Linda Ronstadt made famous. Peter tork was jamming with Stephen Stills (who ironically tried out for the monkees himself and encouraged Peter to try out too). Simple pop music; but done very well and by some big players. Another guy on monkees albums, (the late) bassist Larry Taylor from the rock band Canned Heat. A lot more to the music than just some bubble gum pop. 4 Quote
