Good Times! (The Monkees album)
Good Times! is the upcoming twelfth studio album by the Monkees. Produced by Adam Schlesinger, the album was recorded to commemorate the band's 50th Anniversary. It is the first Monkees studio album since Justus (1996) and the first since the death of founding member Davy Jones. The album features surviving Monkees Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork, as well as posthumous contributions from Jones.
Background and recording
The project was initiated by Rhino executives John Hughes and Mark Pinkus, who were excited about a 50th anniversary album for the Monkees.[1] Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne was hired to produce the album, with tracks by the three surviving Monkees, initialy unreleased songs by the songwriters they used during their initial run, and contemporary rock songwriters.[2]
The first single from the album, "She Makes Me Laugh", was released on April 28, along with a lyric video.
The second new track to be released was "You Bring The Summer", which was debuted by DJ and Monkee-fan Iain Lee on his radio show on May 2, followed by it being made available by Rhino.
