NESMITH, Michael: Pretty Much Your Standard Ranch Stash - 50th Anniversary Edition (CD)
The CD version comes with a 36-page color booklet that includes extensive liner notes by Andrew Sandoval and lyrics to all songs. Also included is a bonus track, the 1973 alternate version of "Marie's Theme."
The album: Nesmith's time with the Monkees was long gone and he needed a new place to live and work. He caught the attention of jac Holzman, the head of Elektra Records, and miraculously a new path opened up for him. Realizing that most record companies at the time didn't understand country rock, Nesmith convinced Holzman to start a new label, Countryside. Nesmith would run the label, assemble a "house band" and produce albums by various up-and-coming country artists.
Unfortunately, most of the new label's releases failed to make much of an impression, and Nesmith soon began thinking about his own music again. Backed by the power of his Countryside house band, he quickly created Pretty Much Your Standard Ranch Stash, a complete and final RCA album. Despite its commercial brilliance, Ranch Stash was not a Despite its commercial brilliance, Ranch Stash was not a sales success and became the closing word of a difficult chapter in Nesmith's life, a final "adios" to Monkee Mike, to the cosmic cowboy, and to his family as he continued on his way.

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.
