Comprehensive 2008 two CD collection containing the best of Nesmith's later material featuring singles, album tracks, live recordings and more. As the majority of musicians will agree, once you've been in a highly successful band it can be hard to avoid it's achievements overshadowing your subsequent creative output. The former Monkee is no exception and has spent a far greater period of his life producing often ground breaking and never less than challenging music than he did with possibly TV's most infamous 'manufactured' band. Most recently acknowledged as a pioneer of 'Alt Country' this collection is a great introduction to some of the man's most challenging and successful solo material. 36 tracks including 'Rio', 'Magic', 'Flying', 'Navajo Trail', 'Cruisin' and many more.
