Mike Nesmith was actually ahead of the curve in many ways. Frustrated that his tunes weren’t being used on the Monkees TV show, Mike’s songs were done by others like Linda Ronstadt (“Different Drum”). He was influential in the burgeoning L.A. country-rock scene with tracks like this, his biggest hit as a solo act and credited to the First National Band. Nesmith later produced innovative music videos such as Lionel Richie’s “All Night Long.” He had health issues in 2018, needing a quadruple bypass.
