Sixty years ago this week, THE MONKEES arrived in record stores. It still amazes me to look at that first album and think about the songs that were waiting for us there. Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart gave us “(Theme From) The Monkees,” “Last Train to Clarksville,” “I Wanna Be Free” and more. Mike brought in “Papa Gene’s Blues,” Gerry Goffin and Carole King gave us “Take a Giant Step,” and David Gates wrote “Saturday’s Child." Quite a collection of writers to have in your corner when you’re making your first record. The album went on to spend 13 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart, but what means the most to me now is that people are still listening to these songs 60 years later. And Rhino is marking the anniversary with a new 60th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, featuring the original stereo album, the mono album, TV versions, alternate takes, demos, backing tracks, radio spots, and new liner notes from yours truly. It ships October 30 and is available to pre-order at #TheMonkees #MickyDolenz

Hard to believe it’s been 59 years since The Monkees first aired on September 12, 1966. We were just four kids with guitars and energy, and the world watched us. Grateful for the memories and your support in keeping our spirit alive. Here’s to more! #TheMonkees #TVHistory

There are certain songs that bring an entire room together from the very first note, and “I’m a Believer” is certainly one of them. Every night, I get to look out and see people who first heard it in 1966 singing alongside fans who discovered it decades later. That rush never gets old! I wanna hear from you: Which Monkees song should always have a place in the set? #MickyDolenz #TheMonkees

This month in 1967, The Monkees released “Pleasant Valley Sunday.” Written by the extraordinary Gerry Goffin and Carole King, the song reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 11 in the U.K. And somehow, it still feels just as much fun to sing all these years later. Do you remember where you first heard “Pleasant Valley Sunday?" Tell me your story in the comments. #MickyDolenz #TheMonkees

This month in 1966, The Monkees released “Last Train to Clarksville.” Written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, it was our very first single. A few weeks later, The Monkees premiered on television, and suddenly this little train that could was picking up speed very quickly. By November, “Last Train to Clarksville” had made its way all the way to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Not a bad way to start, really. I recommend it. Do you remember the first time you heard “Last Train to Clarksville?" Tell me your story in the comments! #MickyDolenz #TheMonkees

Well, today’s the day! My new EP TIMELESS is out now on streaming, digital download, and good old-fashioned CD and vinyl. Which, as far as I’m concerned, is still a perfectly civilized way to listen to music. I had the great pleasure of recording songs by Paul Westerberg, Andy Partridge, Vicki Peterson, Sam Hollander, Adam Schlesinger, Steven Gold, Pete Donnelly, Shelby Lynne, and Jonny Polonsky, with a little help from a truly wonderful group of musicians. Coco even joined me on “Waiting For Day,” which made the whole thing extra special. I’m very proud of this record, and I hope you’ll spend some time with it. Listen, download, or order TIMELESS now from your favorite retailer or streaming service. Signed copies are available at #MickyDolenz #TIMELESS

Hard to believe it's been nearly 60 years, but in December 1966, “I’m a Believer” hit #1. I sang it, written by Neil Diamond, and it changed everything for us. Excited for the upcoming tour - Micky Dolenz: 60 Years of The Monkees. Those first organ notes still hit!

Can you believe “Last Train to Clarksville” debuted this month in 1966? I sang lead, and by November it hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s amazing how that song launched our career while subtly commenting on the Vietnam War - an effective protest song. #mickydolenz #themonkees

Here's a little something for Christmas Eve... a clip of us singing “Riu Chiu” a cappella from our Christmas episode. This traditional song echoes the call of a bird & tells the story of a river protecting sheep from a wolf. #TheMonkees #MickyDolenz

Yes, it’s really me - and I’m just fine! 😎 There are fake AI stories about me online. If you see one, report it to Meta. I’ve been enjoying summer by the pool and getting ready for my Songs & Stories tour next month. Don’t believe the clickbait; trust the guy with the toolbox!

Well, here we go. “Waiting For Day” is out now, and I’m very excited for you to finally hear it. It’s a wonderful song written by Vicki Peterson of The Bangles, and I was lucky enough to record it as a duet with my sister Coco for my new EP, TIMELESS, arriving September 4. To my ears, it has a little bit of everything I love: melody, color, harmony, and a nice swirl of bubblegum psychedelic pop. It feels bright and dreamy in all the right places, and just a little mystery floating around the edges. I hope you’ll spend a little time with it today, then come back here and tell me what you think. Listen here: #MickyDolenz #TheMonkees #Timeless

In October 1967, More of the Monkees was released, taking over the No. 1 spot on Billboard for 18 weeks and holding top charts for a total of 31 weeks between albums. It also reached No. 1 in the UK and sold over five million copies in the U.S., becoming the year's best-seller.

Still thinking about Bobby Hart. He and Tommy created classics like "(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone," which rocked on stage. Released in November 1966 as a B-side to “I’m a Believer,” it hit #20 on the Billboard Hot 100—the first Monkees B-side to chart. #TheMonkees #MickyDolenz

Here’s a little Circus Boy clip that makes me laugh for reasons that probably weren’t obvious at the time. Let’s just say young Micky had a few things to learn about drums. Sometimes life slips in a joke before you’re in on it. #CircusBoy #MickyDolenz #TheMonkees

I’m very proud to share my new single, “Terri,” written by the wonderful Paul Westerberg of The Replacements. It’s a beautiful song, and I’m grateful Paul trusted me with it. I had a great time bringing it to life and adding my own little twist along the way. “Terri” is the first single from my upcoming EP, TIMELESS, arriving September 4. TIMELESS features six new tracks from songwriters like Andy Partridge, Sam Hollander, Adam Schlesinger, Vicki Peterson, Shelby Lynne and more.
