In honor of The Monkees' 50th anniversary, the group is releasing a new album called Good Times! with the aid of producer Adam Schlesinger. It features songs that were written for the band in the 1960s but never recorded, as well as original compositions by Monkees-loving modern songwriters, including Weezer's Rivers Cuomo (hear "She Makes Me Laugh" here), XTC's Andy Partridge (hear "You Bring The Summer" here), and a collaboration between Paul Weller and Oasis' Noel Gallagher. And, though Mike Nesmith won't tour to support Good Times! — he left the band a few years back — he does appear on the album, The Monkees' first since 1996. In fact, he sings lead in this song, "Me & Magdalena," which was written for the band by Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard. Though more introspective and subdued than The Monkees' best-known songs, it's quite lovely, like... well, like The Monkees performing a Ben Gibbard song. www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2016/05/19/478417461/song-premiere-the-monkees-me-magdalena |
