MICHAEL NESMITH & THE FIRST NATIONAL BAND - "1st National Dance" (1999)

 

Michael Nesmith was a lot more than just a Monkee, and this 1970 album by Michael Nesmith & The First National Band titled "Loose Salute" more than proves it.

 

Mike and the boys also put out a second great LP in 1970 called "Magnetic South.

In 1999, The Camden Deluxe European label got smart and put out this CD that combined all the music from those two 1970 albums, and also on there is one previously unreleased bonus track.

 Here's a very cool country classic quasi-instrumental that sounds more like Roy Clark than it does The Monkees. 

It's a real toe tapper!!
