the-monkees-good-times-cover-art-800x800

How can you not love this?  It’s The Monkees – it’s brand new and it’s as “classic Monkees” and catchy as the day is long.  Penned by Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo and from the forthcoming new album Good Times, this pop-masterpiece has all the right elements – riffs and hooks, melody, great vocals from Micky Dolenz and an overall wonderful vibe.

Unlike the comebacks of the ’80’s and the ’90’s that The Monkees made, this new track is exactly what you want to hear from these masters of pop.  And knowing that Micky, Mike and Peter are still here to deliver makes me very glad to still be a fan after 50 years.

Good Times will be released on Friday, May 27th
