Well, I'm finally getting around to doing my promised Nesmith thread. This is an offshoot of the Monkees thread that has been completed with some great help from some of you.
Nesmith was my man in The Monkees. The one with the real talent. As I've said, he could be considered the originator of country rock before Parsons and the like.
A great bit of well known trivia...his aunt invented liquid paper and he inherited a great deal of money.
These days he's much involved in his Video Ranch website. There's even an online world, similar to Second Life, where virtual concerts and the like occur. I haven't been there yet but one of these days I'll do a free day pass.
Michael Nesmith wikipedia entry
He has pretty much hung up his music and touring hat (pun intended). That's a shame for I never did get to see him.
There's a great interview with him that was recently done and can be found here on the Monkees website. It's up to two parts right now.
As with The Monkees tribute I'll be upping his work so that those not familiar may discover the joys I've found. As always, maybe this will prompt you to go out and get the real deals. Though most of this stuff is out of print in the US and available only on import.
His early work has been reissued as two-fers. The first of which is Magnetic South and Loose Salute, both originally released in 1970.
