4.0 out of 5 stars well...... I dig it, February 22, 2000

By	Zac (Ct) - See all my reviews

I imagine a lot of people would have mixed feelings about this album. Any fan will love to hear new material from Peter, but even me (a HUGE Tork fan), can admitt that Peter does not have the strongest voice... Reguardless this album is filled with songs that can bring a smile to the face of anyone (fan or not). I love this album and I dont regret buying it one bit, I'm not saying he couldn't do any better... all I'm sayin is that, If you had a mind open enough to look this Cd up, you will dig it....

On a different note, I believe if Pete wasnt a monkee, it would have been, "Crosby, Still, Nash and Tork" (Young wouldn't have been in the band) Of course this is just me talkin and no one has to agree....

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent solo debut, December 9, 1999

By	Burritoman "burritoman" - See all my reviews

As hard as it is to believe, this is Peter Tork's first solo album--28 years after he gained international prominence as one of The Monkees. A thoroughly enjoyable effort, with some great originals and well- chosen covers; Peter reveals himself on these tracks, and that's a good thing indeed.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE OFFBEAT MONKEE IS STILL OFFBEAT, October 26, 2005

By	jimi hendrix (ca) - See all my reviews

I've been following the Monkees since I was 10 and in the 4th grade. The Monkees was my first record album, bought at the local grocery store in the record aisle for 99c. I bought it because the cover was so damn appealing. There was Peter Tork right up front with Davey Jones. I went home and played that record on my parent's Fisher console stereo. It was not my introduction to rock 'n roll because I had already enjoyed the Beatle's songs on my transister radio. So, I had experienced ears by the time I listened to the Monkee's debut album. I thought it was wonderful and my favorite song on it was Gonna Buy Me A Dog by Peter. It was musical,comical, and just plain entertaining. Then the follow-up effort, More Of The Monkees, really hit the spot. My favorite song on it was My Auntie Grizelda done by Peter again. I noticed even at a young age that he was not as on key as the other three Monkees as a singer but he was different and funny.

Anyways, I've been following the group for quite awhile now and this first solo release of Peter Tork has been overdue. The other better vocalists from the Monkees have all put out some decent solo stuff. I bought this CD knowing it would be offbeat and it was. But, its still fairly good and Peter Tork sounds very similiar to Ringo Starr's vocals, which is a compliment.

A must-have for any die-hard Monkee fan from the past but probably easily passed on by others.
