Infinite Tuesday: Autobiographical Riffs,The Music

You know Michael Nesmith, of course, from his work as one of the members of The Monkees, but there's so much more to this man than a wool hat, a flair for comedy, and a gift for songwriting, and you'll be able to find out about the other sides of his life if you pick up a copy of his book, Infinite Tuesday: An Autobiographical Riff. This is the soundtrack to that book.

This album features 14 songs, starting off with a song from his pre-Monkees recording career as Michael Blessing, following it with a track from the Monkees' self-titled debut album ("Papa Gene's Blues"), and also offering two other Nesmith-penned Monkees songs: "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" and "Listen to the Band." Beyond that, however, you'll get a strong compilation of Nesmith solo songs, including his most famous solo composition, "Different Drum," and taking you all the way up to his most recent solo album, RAYS.
