Michael's 1979 LP "Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma"

2/5/2015

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 LP was Nesmith's third to be released on his own label, Pacific Arts. To continue developing Pacific Arts' multimedia projects, Nesmith originally developed Infinite Rider as a "video album." It peaked at #151 on the Billboard chart.

To promote the release of Infinite Rider, Pacific Arts issued a promotional album entitled "The Michael Nesmith Radio Special." The program intertwines an interview with Nesmith with the anticipated slate of songs for the LP.

This IS BY FAR THE MOST UNDERRATED ALBUM OF ALL TIME. Expert unique musicianship, composition, production, and Nez's interesting, rock poetic-folk lyrics. Fabulous ! Probably one of the best bands Nez has ever assembled along with his Movies of The Mind band.

I also seem to recall that Nez used to have for download on his site two cuts that didn't make the original album - sadly these are no longer available (they were never released physically, even when the CD was reissued). Also the 2007 reissue has the extended mix of Flying.
