 After four National Band lps in the US, of which the UK got no release for the second, (Loose Salute), came 'And The Hits Keep on Coming' again not issued in the UK at the time - Aug 1972.

Now here, as Phantom says, is Michael's sixth overall RCA album, and fourth with a UK contempory release. US Jul '73 and UK Feb '74, both - apparently used widely at the time - with same cat. no ;- APL1 - 0164....!

His sixth and final LP for RCA before they gave him the pink slip. But don't be fooled by that because this LP is a return to form and once again features a full band sound. Like two of his previous RCA LP’s, side one is all Nesmith compositions and side two features covers. The first side is comprised four songs, three are new songs (to me) and one “Some Of Shelley’s Blues” probably goes back to the mid 1960’s. This was recorded with The Monkees (unreleased) and covered by The Stone Poneys (Linda Ronstadt, lead singer) in 1968 but this re-working may be the finest version of it yet. The two ballads “Continuing” and “Release” are fine Nesmith tunes and “Winonah” is a passable piece of country honk about a barmaid who likes to drink too much. Two of the covers are marvelous, including veteran country writer Cindy Walker's "Born to Love You" and Billy Hill's "Prairie Lullaby". These songs don’t miss their mark and provide as much or more entertainment as the Nesmith compositions. They alone ought to silence anyone who questions his ability as a vocalist. In between these two gems is a piece called “The Back Porch And A Fruit Jar Of Iced Tea” which is an amalgamation of two songs, the traditional “The F.F.V.” and Bill Monroe’s “Uncle Pen”. It sounds like some sort of country hoedown that might appeal to some but unfortunately not me. This record is probably as good as any of his previous releases and was his last country/rock LP for many years.
