Among Leo's best vocals
A lot of critics don't think too highly of Leo Kottke's singing, but he has a very nice, rich baritone that is far more charming than many technically "better" singers. I make this point because on this particular CD, he sings on nearly every cut--very unusual for a man who's reputation is built almost entirely on his great acoustic guitar playing. The recording is also different in that there are backing musicians on most of it too. (One point lest you be mislead; Mike Gordon is NOT on this recording. I don't know why he's credited.) For the most part, this is still a winner, especially if you like Greenhouse and My Feet Are Smiling. He still does amazingly acrobatic, yet still incredibly melodic guitar riffs all over the place. It may be Leo's most adventurous recording overall, and as far as I know it's the last time that he sang so much, which is a pity. My fave is the opening cut, Morning is The Long Way Home.

Almost lives up to its reputation
2 of 2 found this helpful I'm very glad that I bought this; long before his tragic drowning, I was a big fan of Dennis Wilson's compositions and performances with the Beach Boys. I think his best period was around the "20/20" and "Sunflower" era. Songs like "Be With Me", "Slip On Through", "Forever", "Celebrate The News", and the notorious "Never Learn Not To Love" were group highlights. That said, it's not his voice that made these songs great. He had a very raspy sound and a limited range that sometimes doesn't do them justice; oft times it was CARL whose voice you were hearing on those Beach Boys tracks. "Pacific Ocean Blue" is full of mostly great, sonic, quirky, compositions; very much his signature, and certainly justifying his reputation as the second-best composer in the Beach Boys. Sometimes Dennis pulls the vocals off well, other times they're merely tolerable (nothing is really BAD, though). The second disc "Bambu" also holds up pretty well too, considering it was never fully completed. If you're like me, you'll be glad to have it, whatever its shortcomings. A recommendation: listen to them straight through once, then put the discs on shuffle with other music and get to enjoy the songs one at a time. I still rate this as excellent, both for the quality and for the abundance of new material. It's a real shame that Dennis burned out and died young. One would think that he had a lot more to contribute after listening to these.

This is where to start your collection
This is a perfect way to jump start your Monkees collection; their first 5 albums,[The Monkees, More Of The Monkees; Headquarters; Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd; and The Birds, The Bees and The Monkees] each with several bonus tracks, in miniature replicas of the original album covers and a cardboard slipcase for the whole thing, priced very reasonably (you would almost certainly pay far more if you were to buy these albums separately in any format).
My only quibble is the lack of any liner notes--the song titles and basic information about the bonus tracks is included on the slipcase, but there is no perspective to them. A bonus track is listed as an "alternative take", which is fine except there may not be a corresponding "master take" with which to compare! This, however, is not a deal-breaker; if your goal is to enjoy listening to the Monkees, you've come to the right place. Go for it!
