The Newer Stuff is comprised of eight new songs plus six previously released recordings from the latter 1970’s. I will deal with only the new songs for this review. Of the eight tracks, five were recorded for his shelved “movie/musical” called “Video Ranch” in circa 1981. It is not at all unlike “Infinite Rider..” in that it incorporates background singers and synthesizers and has little or no country influence. The main difference to me is that this is Nesmith’s satirical and humorous LP. The delightful looseness of Infinite Rider remains. He sounds confident and he displays an amazing ability to produce commercial pop music. Six of the new songs are written by Nesmith and the other two are by his friend Bill Martin. In tracks like “Total Control”, “Formosa Diner” and “Chow Mein And Bowling” he takes a few good natured swats at suburban American life in the 1980’s. “Tanya” is a pretty love song. It would have made a good single although it sounds a little like Carly Simon’s “Comin’ Round Again”. “I'll Remember You”, a high point, is a nostalgic look and at Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers and John Lennon. “Tahiti Condo” is a pretty zany song. It sounds like maybe Mike had been listening to Frank Zappa at the time. Then there’s “Eldorado To The Moon”, a Bill Martin fun tune about taking a Cadillac on an interstellar journey. Had this LP/CD been exposed to the public, it had the potential to have become a huge cult hit. Probably six of the eight tracks would have had no trouble getting radio airplay. Unfortunately only Nesmith fans such as I have had the pleasure to behold this minor masterpiece.
