Style Innovator: Michael Nesmith (30 December 1942)

To most people he’s recognised as the ‘quiet’ Monkee; surly, irreverent, with a good ol’ southern drawl, boy. But while Michael Nesmith may indeed have auditioned for stardom along with Davey Jones and the other members of the group, musically he seemed one or three steps ahead of the rest. Nesmith penned my favourite Monkees songs ‘The Girl I Knew Somewhere’, ‘You Just May Be the One’, and ‘Listen to the Band’, and, in my opinion, he recorded one of the best ever gigs – The Amazing ZigZag Concert, Roundhouse, 28 April 1974.
