review:
Not one of their better efforts, dominated almost wholly
by session musicians (with the occasional songwriting
and instrumental contribution by Mike Nesmith) and containing
too many sickly sweet Davy Jones-sung numbers. It does
have the hits "Daydream Believer" and "Valleri," as well as
Nesmith's "Tapioca Tundra," which just inched into the Top 40,
but overall the material is pretty weak. The CD adds some
previously unissued songs and alternate takes, the only
one of interest being Peter Tork's "Lady's Baby," which sounds
like a Buffalo Springfield outtake with its laid-back country/folk/rock flavor.
