Michael Nesmith: Different Drum - The Lost RCA Victor Recordings (2-LP, colored Vinyl)

(Real Gone Music) 22 tracks, gatefold cover, blue smoke vinyl, includes 4-page insert with liner notes.

The late, great Michael Nesmith was always to the beat of a "different drum" - whether it was writing that classic hit for Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys, being a member of the wool-capped Monkees, or being one of the earliest forerunners of the country rock genre.

Now, following Nesmith's recent passing, Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records are proud to honor his legacy with a major dive into the Nez archives. Different Drum: The Lost RCA Victor Recordings features 22 tracks from the RCA Victor archives, each previously unreleased on vinyl. On six RCA albums released between 1970 and 1973, Nesmith flourished as a singer, vocalist, songwriter, bandleader and producer under the aegis of RCA Nashville legends Chet Atkins and Felton Jarvis.

With bandmates including legendary pedal steel guitarist O. J. Red Rhodes, John Ware and John London, Nesmith pioneered country rock with a spiritual and searching style all his own. Different Drum brings some of his most remarkable musical explorations from this period to record for the first time from this vibrant era, including cosmic reinterpretations of Monkees favorites like Tapioca Tundra, Magnolia Simms, Circle Sky and Listen to the Band unheard outtakes like American Airman and Six Days on the Road, very different alternate takes on Different Drum, Dedicated Friend and Tengo Amore, and even an early version of Marie's Theme from his iconic multimedia project The Prison.

The mind-bending music on Different Drum was mixed from the original multitracks by Andrew Sandoval and mastered by Vic Anesini at Sony's Battery Studios, while papa Nez himself contributed insightful comments to the liner notes by The Second Disc's Joe Marchese, who also pens a poignant tribute to the creative, generous soul of Michael Nesmith. A beautiful jacket featuring two LPs in Blue Smoke vinyl and a four-page insert with rare photos of the foto by renowned photographer Henry Diltz complete this groundbreaking package.

Different Drum is a widescreen journey through the world of one of the greatest and most beloved icons of rock music iconoclasts. Do not take our word for it, listen to the band!

Michael Nesmith

Winonah

With this, Michael Nesmith's tenure with RCA came to its mutually agreed conclusion. There's simply no comprehending the extent of Nesmith's disappointment as he transitioned from mega-selling bubblegum to pioneering but miserably-selling country rock. His bubblegum audience evaporated (no surprise there) but he couldn't find a new one. There's no doubt that his first career stopped a lot of people from taking his second career seriously, but even now history shortchanges him. His name is always prefixed by 'ex-Monkee.'

Titled 'Pretty Much Your Standard Ranch Stash,' Nesmith's RCA swansong was released in September 1973 and failed to even bubble under. RCA didn't go to the effort of pulling a single. The album's B-side comprised revivals of ancient songs, including FFV, recently revived by Townes Van Zandt. The A-side included a remake of one of Nesmith's big hits as a songwriter, Some Of Shelly's Blues, and three new songs, suggesting that his well was running dry. Winonah was co-written with James Miner and up-and-coming country singer Linda Hargrove. After Leon Russell had recorded a couple of her songs for 'Hank Wilson Is Back,' Hargrove met Nashville session man/producer Pete Drake, who introduced her to Nesmith. In addition to writing this song with her, Nesmith signed her and his longtime steel guitarist to his new joint venture with Elektra, Countryside Records. Countryside was abandoned when Elektra's founder, Jac Holzman left. On one level, the lack of success didn't bother Nesmith. He'd stashed some of his Monkee money and in 1980 he inherited over twenty-five million dollars from his mother, who'd invented Liquid Paper. So he wasn't hurting - probably just smarting a little.
