I actually hoped to get this on here last week to coincide with the first two Monkees albums being re-released to CD, but I didn't make it. This CD from 1992 has a number of indie performers you've probably never heard of re-interpreting songs from the OTHER Fab Four with varying degrees of success. Give it a try. I hope you like it!
Hey hey here's the track list:
- The Day We Fall in Love - Deacon Lunchbox
- Take a Giant Step - The Chant
- St. Matthew - Bob Rupe Band
- Last Train to Clarksville - Big Fish Ensemble
- Pleasant Valley Sunday - Magnapop
- Valleri - Mitch Easter
- The Door into Summer - Pat Johnson and the Wellsprings of Hope
- Circle Sky - The Diggers
- You Just May Be the One - Peter Holsapple
- Mr. Webster - Anne Richmond Boston
- Let's Dance On - The Doll Squad
- Sweet Young Thing - Opium Hello
- The Kind of Girl I Could Love - Vulgar Boatmen
- What Am I Doing Hangin' Round? - Those Big Belt Buckles
- A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You - Cruisin'
- Randy Scouse Git - Live Bait
- Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day - Larry Joe Miller & the Rockabilly Rockets
- Gonna Buy Me a Dog - Boise and Moss with a Side of Hamm
- You Told Me - Multi-Color House
- Daydream Believer - Man Size Job
- (Theme from) The Monkees - The Flying Subs
This album has the good the bad and the ugly. However, the late Deacon Luchbox gives a hilarious version of "The Day We Fall In Love" which is worth the price of admission alone!
