Classic Pop, December 1, 2000

By	Thomas Magnum (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Monkees (Audio CD)

The Monkees were created as an American made-for-TV answer to The Beatles. Despite not being formed as an actual band would, the group produced some of the best pop music of the 60's. Musical director Don Kirshner assembled a top notch staff of songwriters, producers and studio musicians that created the Monkees' sound. Although the band only sang on the songs (with the exception of Mike Nesmith who played on, produced and wrote two of his own songs), they added their own personal touches to the songs. Mickey Dolenz stepped to the front as the lead singer and he sings on the albums best songs including the trippy "Saturday's Child" & "Take A Giant Step", the soul-influenced "Let's Dance On" & the mega number one hit "Last Train To Clarksville". Mike Nesmith contributes two songs, the country-tinged "Papa Gene's Blues" and the superb "Sweet Young Thing" that contains screeching fiddles mixed with a buzz guitar for an unusual and unique sound. Davy Jones provides the ballads for the album, the maudlin "I Wanna Be Free" and the drippy "I'll Be True To You". "Gonna Buy Me A Dog" is a classic bit of Monkees farce with it's silly lyrics and goofy studio banter. Peter Tork (as would be the case with future releases) really only appears in name only on this album. The Monkees have taken their fare share of criticism for being an artificial band, but what difference does it make how you were formed or got your music deal, the end result is the music. The Monkees made great music and over 30 years later, their music still sounds great.
