Micky Dolenz is currently on his 60 Years of The Monkees tour, a 27-date run across the United States marking six decades since The Monkees first captured the world’s attention, and arriving alongside the 10th anniversary reissue of ‘Good Times!’, the 2016 studio album that reunited Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork under the guidance of producer Adam Schlesinger for one of the most celebrated late-career records in rock history.
‘Good Times!’ followed the same collaborative blueprint that defined The Monkees’ early catalog, with tracks written specifically for the group by Rivers Cuomo of Weezer, Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, Andy Partridge of XTC, Noel Gallagher of Oasis, and Paul Weller of The Jam, alongside original contributions from Nesmith and Tork. The album debuted in the Top 20, nearly 50 years after their last such entry.
“None of us could have imagined that nearly 50 years after our last Top 20 record, we’d be back there again with a new Monkees album,” says Dolenz. “It was also a joy to work with the incredibly talented Adam Schlesinger, who understood exactly how to honor our history while still making something fresh.” Schlesinger passed in 2020, adding real weight to this anniversary look back.
The deluxe reissue expands the original 13-track album with bonus tracks and a full disc of instrumentals, giving fans the most complete version of ‘Good Times!’ yet. The tour runs through November, with dates across the country from Orlando to Milwaukee.
