BREAKING: Rhino's John Hughes confirms Nesmith participation on "Good Times!"

2/9/2016

28 Comments

 
Appearing on the Zilch! podcast in the latest episode released this afternoon, Rhino's John Hughes, who is acting as executive producer for the brand new Monkees studio album, Good Times!, confirmed that all three members of The Monkees will be full participants on the album:
"[Producer] Adam (Schlesinger)...is working very closely with all three guys...all three are on the album and full participants…playing on tracks, singing (obviously), contributing songs...it's really all The Monkees, and that includes Davy."
Davy will be a part of the new album by way of Neil Diamond's "Love to Love," first recorded in 1967 but never officially released on an original Monkees album. It will appear on Good Times! in a reworked version with Davy's lead vocal.
Please note that this is a MUST LISTEN interview, and it's available for streaming and downloading on the Zilch! website.

Time for another episode of Zilch! A Monkees Podcast! More info about GOOD TIMES! Download at the link below...

Very welcome news.. everyone get out their Monkees Paw, Swami hats and sitar's for a Micky, Mike and Peter jam!!!
In all seriousness, maybe Mike has been moved by this incredible groundswell of media regarding the new Album and tour.. even my local College Radio WFUV in the Bronx gave a huge shout out news announcement of the 50th Tour and new music..!..

I've heard so many great new arrangements of Nesmith's older songs, from "Sweet Young Thing" & "The Kind of Girl I Could Love" from their recent tour, to "Listen to the Band" from a recent Monkees convention, to Circe Link/Christian Nesmith's live arrangement of "Calico Girlfriend"... the MUSIC is already there, just bring the studio performance! If he feels true passion to write more songs, then great, but my point is that if the passion isn't there, instead of forcing it (which wouldn't be fun) then the existing well to pull from isn't exactly shallow.

Even the new arrangement of "Rays" from Nesmith's solo tour is great, but we have that on CD already.. :)

P.S. I noticed that Hughes mentioned TV stuff coming...I'm guessing the '90s TV special??

Didn't Andrew Sandoval previously make statements that they recorded both the 2011 tour with Davy and 2012 tour with Mike? I'd love for one of the surprises John teases to be a combined live album with all 4 Monkees from those tours!

Hi Tony,

Andrew Sandoval is in possession of tapes from the 2011 tour:

http://www.monkeesconcerts.com/blog/sandoval-reveals-2011-tour-tapes

At the 2014 Monkees convention, Andrew confirmed that three shows on the 2012 Monkees tour were professionally recorded. He told convention goers that to date he had been unable to strike a deal for a live album release for various reasons.

I would like Rhino to put out a Live Monkees Box Set featuring the unreleased Phoenix concert for January 21, 1967, the complete 1968 Salt Lake City concert used for "Head", the 2011 and 2012 shows. I think this Box Set would sell well.

If you would like to join our group to see the Monkees at the Keswick in Glenside Pa,

I have a special opportunity for you.

I have reserved rows 16 and 17 from the stage which is the closest you can get because all the VIP seats must go to the ticket agencies. I was able to get them to way the ridiculous $15 dollar fee they add on as the extra fee by doing a group sale.

If you want to take advantage of this before tix go on sale Friday, you can order today from my website.

Tickets are just $83.00. You are guaranteed a seat. No need to call on Friday or deal with precodes.

To order yours, please go to the website http://www.monkeesconvention2016.com/apps/webstore/products/show/6652692

Though they gave me 83 seats, already half sold when I announced on facebook.

You guys do work fast.

Look forward to seeing you for this awesome year.

The address to the Keswick is


Show Time 8pm

VIP are not available through the Keswick.

This will be for rows 16 and 17 from the stage

left, center and right.

This is a cheaper option and guarantees you a ticket.





Keswick Theatre

291 N Keswick Ave

Glenside, Pennsylvania 19038

Ah, this makes my day! I was so depressed Nesmith wasn't going to be involved. Between that and Micky playing drums on the album, I'm a very happy guy. Still bummed he's not touring though 😏

I'm so psyched that the 3 will be together on the album and hopefully the tour as well . I would love them to play a show closer to Philadelphia. The Keswick theater is a hike for me .

GREAT news!!! Even if mike isn't on the tour,at least he'll have SOME participation in the 50th anniversary events!He probably isn't up to doing ALL those listed dates,as the previous 2012-13-14 tours were mini 15 or less dates & he'd probably want his family members along on the tour as well again....maybe too much drama??

I'm excited, but I also remember that "Justus" was supposed to be good, too.

Justus is a gift and a dirty miracle. I'm not sure why it incurs such wrath.

'Justus' is an underrated masterpiece!!! It MORE than stands the test of time. An updated 'Headquarters' showing what the Monkees are really made of!

"Headquarters" is a 4 to 5 star album. There is nothing on "Justus" that really compares to it. "Pool It" is halfway in between the two.

Is it a given that Mike will not be joining Zpetrr & Micky for the 50th anniversary tour this year?
