Can't have too much Nesmith, right? Well, this is the collection that says, yes, you can. This is everything I could find that's not on an album, but I'm sure there are a few more songs out there that slipped the net. A chakra-numbing sixty-five tracks that not even the most swivel-eyed Nesfan will find time to sit through. Four hours, if you think you're hard enough. But that's not the point. You can dip in and out as you like, assemble coherent playlists, or just feel good about having it without ever getting around to playing it. It's a ragbag collection of frayed threads from the intellectual of the group, from his earliest home demos and singles through to the New Age Synth Years, including Elephant Parts, alternate mixes, live tracks (except the Roundhouse Concert, available separately) and a few songs that were released as expanded edition bonus tracks after I collected them. Some of it is revelatory - Curson Terrace, an early single, shows the unlikely influence of Bo Diddley mentioned in his autobiography. If you like Nesmith, there's not a track you won't enjoy, but snack, don't binge!
