Synopsis

Album Description

Two CD set featuring a pair of acclaimed solo albums from former Monkees' member Michael Nesmith that have been out of print for years. From A Radio Engine To A Photon Wing (1977), which features the hit 'Rio', sees Nesmith moving away from the Country/Folk sound of his early solo material and embracing a more commercial and contemporary Pop sound. Infinite Riders On The Big Dogma (1979) was the outstanding follow-up and it features classics like 'Flying', 'Magic' and more. Many of the songs off of these albums were featured in Nesmith's groundbreaking Elephant Parts full-length video release. 18 tracks. Edsel Records. 2008.

CD Reviews

Nesmith's pair of pop Picassos

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Two really great albums together in one nice package! Infinite Rider, sounds better than I have ever heard it before! Both albums are more pop/rock than his previous 6 country rock flavored solo albums. If you like well written and performed pop/rock that is intelligent and witty, then you will love these albums like I do. It's too bad Michael took a decade or so off from recording after these two albums. I would have liked to see what would have come after these. The new liner notes by Michael are fun to read. This set of albums is well worth buying; it's a fun period for Nez! If you want to know which order I would buy his album in; I would suggest just starting with his first solo album, Magnetic South (1970), and just work by way up through his catalog. It's all worth owning!"
