Michael Nesmith - Different Drum - The Lost Rca Victor RecordingsThe late, great Michael Nesmith always travelled to the beat of a "Different Drum" whether as the writer of that classic hit for Linda Ronstadt and The Stone Poneys, the wool hat clad member of The Monkees, or one of the earliest progenitors of the country rock genre. Now, in the sizeable wake of Nesmith's recent passing, Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records are proud to honor his legacy with a major deep dive into the Nez archives. Different Drum:

Ultimately 'Ultra Mono' is a celebration of community

and colors

Salty Gator delivers the consistent electricity and creativity that fans have come to expect from a Swamp Thing record

" "Stop Drop and Roll One" came after a particularly fruitful night of songwriting

in the little time that touring allowed
