Extended description

Here they come...
In Monkee Music, Andrew Hickey, author of The Beatles In Mono and The Beach Boys On CD, examines the music of Micky, Mike, Davy and Peter from their early bubblegum pop hits with Last Train To Clarksville and I'm A Believer, through their reinvention as a self-contained band with songs like Pleasant Valley Sunday and Daydream Believer, and their psychedelic masterpiece Head, and on into their reunion albums Pool It! and Justus.

This book contains analysis of every studio track the Monkees ever released, and is a must for any Monkee Maniacs.

Review by: George Hook on Sep. 17, 2012 :
Excellent book, though I disagree with some of the opinions. The author is obviously enthusiastic about The Monkees and has studied them in some depth. Much like Revolution in the Head about The Beatles, the book gives the reader a chance to crystalize their own views of a song from the author's astute criticism. For me, that was his critical review of Star Collector, one of the Monkees and Davy Jones' great performances. I was surprised to read the author dissing this remarkable work, but all in all, I respected his insights. A solid read: I just bought his Beatles in Mono book, though unfortunately, I couldn't download a PDF version.
