Originally released on Rhino (70706). Includes liner notes by Harold Bronson.
In 1986, The Monkees' TV show was resurrected on MTV, and the band went from being a rock-hipster joke to a well-respected example of classic '60s pop. A greatest hits collection, featuring three new tracks by Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork, and a full slate of reissues of the band's original albums all sold well, and a concert tour was a big success. And so three of the Monkees--Michael Nesmith declined to participate--went into the studio to record a full reunion album.
The results were, surprisingly, not dire in the least. Choosing postpunk veteran Roger Bechirian (Elvis Costello, The Undertones) to produce helped keep the '80s-style slickness at manageable levels, and also improved the choice of covers--a version of Wreckless Eric's "Whole Wide World" is particularly inspired. Apart from a few missteps (though no more than on most of the group's '60s albums), not bad at all.
The Monkees: Peter Tork (vocals, guitar); Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz (vocals).
Additional personnel: Dan Sawyer (acoustic guitar); Mark Christian, Lou Natkin (guitar); Jim Thompson (saxophone); Andy Cahan (piano); Mike Egizi (keyboards, programming); George Hawkins, Davey Faragher, Dave Sutton (bass); Curly Smith (drums); Craig Ostbo, Roger Bechirian (percussion).

"It's rare for so many wonderful circumstances to come together at the same time. This is a unique work you have in your hands: the epic poetry of Karla Morton combined with the exquisite music of Howard Baer and the haunting photography of Walter Eagleton are combined into a lush, romantic experience. This is a work you will want to listen to all in one sitting. The story, the words, the music will carry you to a place that is all too rare in this world of over-analyzed and non-accessible poetry. This is magic and sensual fog and eternal yearning in the style of Shelley and Byron. This is the perfect complement to a warm evening by the fireplace, wine in hand, love by your side." -Alan Birkelbach, the 2005 Texas Poet LaureateABOUT THE AUTHOR:Karla K. Morton was born in Ft. Worth, Texas and attended Texas A&M University, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism. Morton, who now lives in Denton, Texas, has written in many genres as well as in song and poetry...but her main love is poetry. Poetry in all forms. She believes poets have the honour of expressing into words the emotions of life."Poetry," Morton says, "is life's essence...it's simply impossible for me not to write."Morton also is an avid photographer, and has had several showings of her black and white photography in the pre-digital days.karla k. morton is a board member of the Greater Denton Arts Council, and a founding member and board member of the Denton Poet's Assembly, (a part of the Poetry Society of Texas). morton, who has a Journalism degree from Texas A&M University, has been published in Write Around the Corner, the Texas Poetry Calendar, AmarilloBay, Concho River Review, and the upcoming descant 2008, Illya's Honey, Austin International Poetry Anthology and ARDENT. morton is also author of the book/CD titled Wee Cowrin' Timorous Beastie, (a North Texas Book Festival Awards Finalist), which is a unique blend of poetry, story and the original celtic music of the award-winning Canadian composer, Howard Baer. ...
