  • smooth and pleasant. 

  • @adameater - Much like myself.

  • Daniel...great tune. Ironically was strumming LTTC just the other day !! I think The Monkees music talent gets lost because of the TV show and all the pop icon stuff. Think "Girl I Knew From Somewhere" is my favorite. Excellent Job !!

  • @Swervehead - Very true, a great Mike Nesmith song, and I love the sound of his backing vocals towards the end of the record - it's a shame they don't run throughout it.

  • Very good ! . What's your take on the stories that the monkees never played their own stuff ?

  • @mukkaspec - Their third album, 'Headquarters', was mostly played and written by the band. It got to number 1, and held the No 2 spot right below the Beatles (Pepper) for the summer of 1967. In any case, before that, "The Monkees" was a collective of great songwriters and musicians, and the records speak for themselves. Meanwhile, the Beatles started out doing covers, the Beach Boys didn't play on Pet Sounds, and Roger McGuinn was the only Byrd playing on their early work (Dylan covers, etc).

  • Awesome cover!!! :D

  • Just picked up The La's first...well...only record the other week. Now I know that the only way that this cover could be better is if you mashed it up with "Feelin'".

  • That's not the fuckin' Monkees!

  • great job guys! really!

  • always great

  • Is that a Cort 12 string?

  • @mukkaspec Almost all of the playing on Monkees recordings was done by a crack team of L.A session musicians known as The Wrecking Crew. They also backed many other major artists. You can Google them.

  • Excellent job, Daniel. Though quite faithful to the original, methinks this performance is a magnitude better.

  • Another Daniel Earwicker classic: priceless
