About This Item
Vinyl LP pressing. Scott McCaughey was eleven years old when he first heard InchLast Train To ClarksvilleInch and became a lifelong Monkees fan in that moment. A few years ago he gathered like-minded Minus 5 cohorts, and, starting with the surreal 10-minute epic InchMichael NesmithInch, they crafted a song for each member, as well as one for InchBoyce & HartInch, the duo that wrote and produced many classic Monkees tracks. The album features nine original songs, that pay heartfelt homage to the Monkees as well as other friends and artists influential to McCaughey's musical psyche. Side One tackles each member of the Monkees in song, starting with the ten-minute epic InchMichael Nesmith,Inch and ending with InchBoyce & Hart,Inch which praises the songwriting team behind many beloved Monkees hits. Side Two bows to iconic actor Robert Ryan, the brilliantly literate Portland-based Americana band Richmond Fontaine, and, in InchBlue RickenbackerInch and InchWeymer Never Dies,Inch two lost comrades that loom large in McCaughey's development into a rock and roll lifer.
