Michael Nesmith delves into 1970s solo concept album in new podcast

Thanks to Brian Marchese for alerting the Live Almanac about his latest podcast, featuring a unique interview with Michael Nesmith:
​"Episode 23 of Where's That Sound Coming From? has been a long time coming, basically due to life getting a bit derailed. But I hope you'll agree that it was worth the wait. What we have here is not your average interview with Michael Nesmith. This is sort of grad-level Nez. Spirituality. Metaphysics. Creativity. Psychedelics. Turning away from the darkness of that era.  Not a word about The Monkees. No MTV. No Country Rock Pioneer. No Liquid Paper. Have you noticed that most bios and interviews with Nez seem to gloss over The Prison (1974) and his life at the time? As a long time fan of Nez, The Prison for a long time was this mysterious work that I kept trying and failing to get into. Eventually I realized I wasn’t hearing the original work - I was hearing the touched up version Nez released in the 90s. A few years ago I finally heard the 1974 original, and it all came together. Plus, I sensed a psychedelic influence which turned out to be accurate. In this podcast, my long-winded intro is followed by Nez onstage in 1975 telling the plot of The Prison, and finally, the main course: my conversation, recorded in April 2019. Stuff gets very deep, very spiritual, puzzling, funny and always fascinating. Enjoy."

Forthcoming multi-disc box set collects Michael Nesmith solo albums

2/17/2019

12 Comments

 
Songs, a 12-CD collection that brings together Michael Nesmith's works for both RCA and Pacific Arts, is scheduled to be released by UK-based Edsel Records on April 5, 2019. 

The box set, however, is not a complete representation of Michael's solo output as the following albums are not included: The Wichita Train Whistle Sings, Live at the Palais, The Michael Nesmith Radio Special, Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann (soundtrack), Live at The Britt Festival, Rays, and The Ocean.

Four RCA-era bonus cuts are included in the track listings ("Rose City Chimes," "First National Dance," "Cantata & Fugue in C&W," "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette") and 7a Records co-founder Iain Lee has penned liner notes for the booklet.

In June 2018, Michael Nesmith's 1970s RCA albums were issued digitally with previously unheard bonus tracks. 
Michael Nesmith Songs box set
Amazon provides the following description of the box set:
As a member of the first-ever manufactured group, Michael Nesmith needs little introduction. Aside from his ground-breaking projects in the field of music video and film production, he has enjoyed a solo career since he left the Monkees that has encompassed many styles of music, but has always been supported by his wonderful songwriting, alongside some very astute choices of songs he has covered. Nez signed to RCA in 1970 and in quick succession made three albums with The First National Band, which featured pedal steel guitarist extraordinaire O.J. 'Red' Rhodes. All three featured, in the main, his own compositions (including some he had tried out in Monkees sessions) plus some interesting covers, including both well-known country songs and songs by the likes of Harry Nilsson and Eric Clapton. Alongside the contemporary output of The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, these albums form the foundation of Country Rock. Nesmith continued in this vein with three more albums for RCA in 1972 and 1973, the ironically-titled "…And The Hits Just Keep on Comin'" containing his own version of "Different Drum," a huge hit for Linda Ronstadt back in 1967. He formed his own production company, Pacific Arts, in 1975, the first release being "The Prison," "a book with a soundtrack," with songs to compliment the reading experience. A second example of this, "The Garden," was issued in 1994. 1977 saw the release of "From A Radio Engine To The Photon Wing," which featured the hit single "Rio." The video for this was instrumental in the birth of MTV. Moving away from country rock, follow-up albums further showcased Nesmith's songwriting, accompanied by songs by Cole Porter and others. This box set is the first time that Michael Nesmith's solo albums from both his RCA and Pacific Arts periods have been brought together in one compendium. The albums are in CD-sized facsimiles of the original sleeves, along with a booklet that compiles all the credits and liner notes from those sleeves. There are also four bonus tracks across the RCA albums. Booklet notes by broadcaster Iain Lee.

Michael Nesmith "Live at the Palais"

3/5/2017

2 Comments

 
Live at The Palais was released by Michael's company Pacific Arts in August 1978. Recorded in Melbourne at the Palais Theatre during a brief tour of Australia in 1977, the set reunites Nez with First National Band drummer John Ware. Notably, some of the songs on Live at The Palais featured new arrangements in comparison to their studio counterparts.

​Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork performed at the Palais this past December during a stop on The Monkees' 50th Anniversary Tour.

The LP cover features a photo of Nez with his Black Gibson Les Paul custom guitar. This is the same guitar he played when The Monkees recorded "Pleasant Valley Sunday" in 1967, producing the classic riff that became the cornerstone of the song. The guitar was also seen on 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee during The Monkees' performance of "Listen to the Band," and again in 1969 when Micky, Davy, and Michael performed live on The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. Nez was last seen using the Les Paul with The Monkees at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles in 1986.

Live at the Palais can be downloaded on iTunes or at Videoranch.

Ken Sharp interviews Michael Nesmith in 1989

10/15/2016

0 Comments

 
After browsing through my back issues, I'm excited to present this interview with Michael Nesmith that appeared in the June 1989 issue of Monkee Business Fanzine, which, of course, was published by Maggie McManus from 1977-2002. Music journalist and New York Times bestselling writer Ken Sharp spoke to Nez while promoting Tapeheads, a movie he produced in 1988 that starred John Cusack and Tim Robbins. Sharp talks to Michael about his solo career, the 1989 compilation The Newer Stuff, music videos, heavy metal, his company Pacific Arts, reuniting with The Monkees onstage in 1986, the 1968 Nashville sessions, recording "The Girl I Knew Somewhere," and much, much more. Nez also reimagines The Monkees' lineup as a band, which includes discussion of Peter as the drummer and Micky as the bassist. Enjoy!

Michael Nesmith's "Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma"

2/5/2015

2 Comments

 
Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma was released in May 1979 and is Michael Nesmith's ninth studio album as a singer/songwriter during his post-Monkees career. The distinct country rock sounds heard prominently on Nez's albums with the First and Second National Band in the early 1970s (and on subsequent solo works) were less prevalent on Infinite Rider, whose songs featured more electric guitars than pedal steel. "I adopted a much 'heavier' sound on this record because the band had those capabilities and we went exploring," Nez wrote in the liner notes of a 2008 compact disc reissue of Infinite Rider. "The sound was driven by their skill more than anything else. It was a conscious decision to abandon the country stylings." 
Michael Nesmith Infinite Rider album cover
"I don't know what the significance of the masks on the front cover was. The photographer had a friend, I think, who made them and wanted the publicity and I said OK put them on the floor. I thought they looked good."
Michael's pioneering work in the realm of music video continued to progress during the Infinite Rider era. In an attempt to develop multimedia projects under the umbrella of his Pacific Arts corporation, Nez originally envisioned Infinite Rider as a "video album," which ultimately resulted in several music videos being produced. Those clips (seen below) were featured in Elephant Parts, a home video collection of comedy skits and music videos produced by Nesmith that won the first-ever Grammy Award for Music Video in 1981.

The album's second single, "Cruisin'", saw its video receive airplay during the early days of cable music television shows. Nez looked to the groundbreaking video production of his 1977 single, "Rio," as a guide. "Cruisin' was the basis for the second video we made, and where we used the same techniques we had tried on '
Rio' - just to verify they were in fact techniques, and would work in broad application."
In promotion of Infinite Rider, Pacific Arts produced The Michael Nesmith Radio Special and sent it to radio stations in 1980. The program intertwines an interview with Nez along with select songs from the album.

​​Each track on Infinite Rider has only one word in its title. However, on the LP's labels and its inner sleeve, every song is denoted with a parenthetical subtitle. "The one-word titles for the songs on the outer sleeve just worked out that way - unplanned," Nez said in 2008. "The longer titles on the inner sleeve title are the way I had titled them while I was working on them."

Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma peaked at #151 on the Billboard chart, but "Cruisin'" received frequent airplay on rock radio stations in the summer of 1979.

​"'Cruisin' was very confusing to the band," Nez recalled. "I was essentially reciting the lyric over the backing track, and only sang the refrain. It seemed odd at the time, and the musicians all counseled against it. Now, however, as we all know, this is very much the norm."

​Years later, Michael performed the song live in concert with The Monkees during the group's 1989 appearance at Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles.
Michael Nesmith Infinite Rider advertisement
In the liner notes he penned for the late 2000s CD reissue of the album, Nez discussed some of the tracks on Infinite Rider. "With regard to individual songs, my musings in 'Tonite' are about my history in TV, while 'Horserace' is not simply about a horse race, it is metaphysical."
"I'm not aware of any other song that deals with the subject matter of 'Capsule,' which is one of the reasons I wrote it. To date, nobody has sampled its backing track, but I may just do it myself!"

Michael Nesmith's "From a Radio Engine to the Photon Wing"

1/18/2015

0 Comments

 
Michael Nesmith From a Radio Engine album cover
From a Radio Engine to the Photon Wing was released in 1977 and is Michael Nesmith's eighth studio album as a singer/songwriter during his post-Monkees career. The LP was Nesmith's second released on his own label, Pacific Arts.

Michael experienced a moderate worldwide hit with the lead-off track "Rio" (including a Top 30 placing in the United Kingdom), and later produced a promotional video for it. The video for "Rio" helped spur Nesmith's creation of a television program called PopClips for the Nickelodeon cable network. In 1980, PopClips was sold to Time Warner/Amex, who ultimately developed PopClips into MTV. 
Due to the success of "Rio," Nez returned to the stage, making a series of concert appearances in Australia and recording the Live at the Palais album during his visit there. The success of "Rio" didn't translate into swift sales for From a Radio Engine to the Photon Wing, which bottomed out on the Billboard charts at #209.

Thanks a lot to Ben Belmares who supplied the scans for the inner sleeve and the back cover of the LP.

1986 article about Michael Nesmith's "Dr. Duck" home video

1/13/2015

0 Comments

 
'Elephant' Innovator Serves Up Some 'Duck'
By Andy Wickstrom
Michael Nesmith Dr DuckVHS cassette cover
As the first recording artist to win a Grammy Award for a video production, Michael Nesmith has a reputation as an innovator in the field. In the introduction to the award-winning made-for-video program Elephant Parts (1981), he referred to it as his first video album - in fact, the first video album ever. It was a spectacular blend of highly original music videos, skits and commercial spoofs.

Now comes another blend, under the painfully coy name of Dr. Duck's Super Secret All-Purpose Sauce (82 minutes, Pacific Arts Video, $39.95). If that title strikes you as trying too hard to be clever, you'll probably not find the concoction to your taste. Five years have passed in the brief history of home video, but Nesmith seems not to have noticed. His Dr. Duck is hardly more than warmed over Elephant Parts, and not the choicest cuts at that.

The charge that Dr. Duck is serving leftovers is lamentably accurate. The advertising and packaging for this tape are careful to mention the hallowed Elephant Parts, but they avoid naming the program's true predecessor, a fizzled network television show.

In the summer of 1985, NBC aired half-a-dozen installments of Michael Nesmith in Television Parts, a comedy-variety show trading on the cachet of the cassette. This led in turn to its own cassette, Television Parts Home Companion. If Dr. Duck has a "super secret," it's that some of this material was conceived for, and in some cases was shown on, the TV show. One segment (Jay Leno describing a '55 Buick) even begins in front of the Television Parts graphic.

Dr. Duck is unmistakable television fare. In contrast to the virtual one- man show of EP, this venture is awash in a guest celebrity roster fine-tuned to the hippest of demographics. Appearing in song or comedy bits (besides Leno) are Whoopi Goldberg, Jimmy Buffett, Roseanne Cash, Gary Shandling, Martin Mull, Jim Stafford, Jerry Seinfeld, Bob Goldthwait and Ed Begley, Jr. (Perhaps Nesmith's nom de video on this program comes from his ducking the camera.) It's a veritable list of Johnny or Joan's guests next week.

The mere fact that this is a TV retread is no reason to dismiss it entirely. It has some very entertaining moments. Nesmith figures in one as a Fassbinder-esque film director being interviewed by Dick Cavett. Puffing intently on short cigarettes, Nesmith expertly parodies the pretense of foreign "art" directors. In another fine bit, Lois Bromfield works herself into a frenzy while recounting the details of a slasher movie to her cowering date.

Other segments have a decidedly stale air. Goldberg does a turn as a surfer chick, a variation on the airhead Valley Girl that may have been funny two years ago but has since been worked to death by every talk-show comic. Goldberg contributes nothing new.

Even more boring is Goldthwait, who does his "Bobcat" routine introducing animal escape artist Houdini the Pig. Goldthwait is another in the current rash of comedians - such as Pee-wee Herman and Emo Phillips - who affect personas so geeky that the viewer squirms. It's funny at first but it's strictly one-note humor. After a minute's time, you've seen the entire repertoire of tics and grimaces.

There's one big music video production number that recalls the glories of EP. In Buffett's "La Vie Dansante," a Caribbean beach bum imagines a dreamy world of tap-dancing people in white tails, culminating in the appearance of a huge top hat that goes soaring among the stars with a line of dancers on its brim. That's just the kind of outlandishly beautiful image that Nesmith is known for, but has it become a trademark or a cliche?

This article was originally published by the Philadelphia Inquirer on December 7, 1986.

Nez talks about "Dr. Duck" in 1986

Here's a flashback from the Live Almanac's YouTube channel where Nickelodeon's music countdown show, Nick Rocks, profiles Michael Nesmith in a January 1987 episode. Speaking with Martha Quinn in an interview that originally aired on MTV, Nez discusses his most recent project, Dr. Duck's Super Secret All-Purpose Sauce (a 90-minute montage of sketch comedy with a variety of stars and music videos including Bobcat Goldthwait, Ed Begley Jr., Jimmy Buffett, Rosanne Cash, Whoopi Goldberg, Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, and Garry Shandling), and reuniting with The Monkees in 1986.
