This is another song that i love. It's from the band's only movie (which i still haven't seen) and it's a country-rock song.
That's why i love it so much. I love country and rock music, and Mike/Michael Nesmith was a pioneer in making country-rock music. He was also a pioneer in making music video's. Not bad for a guy who was in a make-believe tv band.
Of course, The Monkees are so much more than just a make believe tv band, but that's for another post.
Anyway, back to the excellent 'Circle sky', it's sung by Mike, and i think it's one of the best song's ever recorded. The live version is even better than the original. Worth a listen to either if you get a chance.
