Description
7A Records is pleased to announce 'Dolenz Sings Nesmith' – Micky Dolenz's first new solo studio album in nine years. The album is packed with songs Michael Nesmith wrote throughout his career, all beautifully reimagined by Dolenz. And who better to produce it than Nesmith's son, Christian Nesmith, who has done a brilliant job in coming up with fresh and completely new arrangements for all of the songs. This is the album Monkees fans have waited years to hear. The CD version includes a CD Only Bonus Track, as well as a big colour booklet with extensive liner notes, previously unseen photos and lyrics to all of the songs.

1. Carlisle Wheeling
2. Different Drum
3. Don't Wait For Me

According to this teaser, Micky first had the idea for this album when NsN came out those many decades ago, and finally got around to doing it last year.

Love the cover art tribute to Nilsson Sings Newman. They even got the font right.

I was on the fence about this. I like the Monkees and I like Nesmith, but I'm not a fanatic. I finally picked it up, and I have to say it's a pleasant surprise. Mickey's voice isn't what it used to be, as expected, but he does a more than adequate job. What surprised me the most was the arrangements and the production, which are both first rate. So many late-career covers albums sound like tired versions of the originals. I can't say that about any of these tracks. I really enjoyed this the first time through, and I'll be going back to it.
