Today’s listening is ‘Loose Salute’, the 1970 album by Michael Nesmith and The First National Band.

Having left The Monkees behind, this second album by Papa Nez and The First National Band encompassed a number of musical styles, not just straight country.

There are a few Nesmith-penned classics on this album, including ‘Silver Moon’ and ‘Lady Of The Valley’, but I have to say it’s not my favourite from his run of excellent albums throughout the 1970’s.

Today’s listening is ‘Nevada Fighter’, the 1971 album by Michael Nesmith & The First National Band.

Side 1 comprises tracks written by “Papa Nes” himself (including ‘Grand Ennui’ and ‘Propinquity (I’ve Just Begun To Care)’), whereas Side 2 are all songs written by others (such as Eric Clapton and Harry Nilsson).

Wonderful stuff!

This is a 50+ year old ‘Dynaflex’ LP which still sounds perfect. Which just shows what a scam the modern ‘180 gram vinyl’ fad is!

Rockin' out this morning with #CarolynWonderland, an incredible singer, songwriter and musician out of TX.

Fun fact: In 2011, she married comedian, A. Whitney Brown (formerly of SNL), in a ceremony conducted by #MichaelNesmith.

Today’s listening is ‘And the Hits just Keep on Comin’, the (somewhat ironically titled) 1972 album from Michael Nesmith.
it inclues his ‘solo’ version of ‘Different Drum’ (first recorded with The Monkees) and the beautiful ‘Harmony Constant’.
One can only hope that one of the ‘lovely ladies’ gathered around Papa Nes in the centre gatefold photo was his then-wife, or this may go some way to explain why he got divorced during 1972!

#MichaelNesmith died just over a year ago, and the world thus impoverished somehow trundles on. Nesmith's kind bemusement and masterful songwriting continue to help me get through it on the daily. These live tracks are a window into an atmosphere of god-like optimism and innocent incredulity. #Nez rode the crest of the wave of his times, parting those waters with a casual riff and a caring refrain. #vinyl https://open.spotify.com/album/1qKFWOAhRKluokVpeLE0Xc?si=So-WbK6YShOmVFN845tlEA

“People unjustly kicked us in the nuts over and over because they thought of [The Monkees] as vapid or whatever word you want to use to indicate no artistic return. But it is not.”

#MichaelNesmith (1942-2021) would have been 80 today.
