First new album in nearly 20 years including tracks written by Rivers Cuomo of Weezer ("She Makes Me Laugh"), Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie ("Me & Magdalena"), Andy Partridge of XTC ("You Bring The Summer"), as well as a song co-written by Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller ("Birth Of An Accidental Hipster"), and album producer Adam Schlesinger.
Also features previously unreleased 1960s recordings of songs written by Neil Diamond, Harry Nilsson, Carol King, and others that have been revisited and completed in new Monkees sessions. Good Times! has new release date of May 27, following the launch of an extensive 50th anniversary tour with Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork on May 18.
All three surviving band members (Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork) have written new songs for the album as well as providing vocals and music performances. The unmistakable voice of the late Davy Jones is also included with a vintage vocal on the Neil Diamond-penned "Love To Love." To produce the new album, the band found the perfect musical co-conspirator in Grammy® and Emmy®-winning songwriter Neil Diamond (Fountains Of Wayne, Ivy).
