Description
1972 album. By 1972 both Nesmith and his then record company RCA were dismayed at Nesmith's lack of commercial success, following his early 1970 departure from The Monkees. Nesmith took the opportunity to blatantly poke fun at the situation he found himself in, titling his new album - that certainly would not yield a Top 40 hit And the Hits Just Keep on Comin. The album was a departure from his previous solo records, as it featured just Nesmith on acoustic 12-string guitar and the excellent Red Rhodes on pedal steel guitar, no other musicians were involved. The approach was simple, but it exposed a beauty in the poetry of Nesmith's lyrics which was matched perfectly by Rhodes' inspired playing. And The Hits Just Keep On Comin' became Nesmith's most critically acclaimed album and it is today generally viewed as a ground-breaking marvel in the annals of country-rock music. To mark the album's 50th anniversary, 7A Records have remastered the album and included four bonus tracks.Bonus tracks: Some Of Shelly’s Blues (Alt.Ver.) / Keep On (Alt. Ver.) / Roll With The Flow (Alt. Ver.) / Cantata And Fugue In C&W (Instr.)
