As a member of the first-ever manufactured group, Michael Nesmith needs little introduction. 'Tropical Campfires' was released in 1992, and was Nesmith's first album since 1979's 'Infinite Rider.' (he spent the 80's inventing MTV, making videos and producing the films Repo Man and Tape Heads). It represented a return to the musical stylings of his first albums after leaving THE MONKEES, fusing pop and country with some Caribbean and Latin American influences, as well as including covers of two COLE PORTER songs, and was a great critical hit. The albums was recorded and mixed in Dolby Surround sound, and the booklet features photos from Nesmith's collection as well as extensive and revealing newly-written annotation by Nez himself, the first time that he has ever written sleeve notes for his albums!
