Last Train to Clarksville (The Monkees)

[Ron D Bowes]

I must admit I was writing a new song and I thought 'This seems familiar'. Then I realised I was writing "Last Train to Clarksville"!! I thought 'shit' and then thought I'd cover if for the hell of it. Written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, of course.

Not a big Monkees fan so I prefer the moodier vibe you've given this !

way cool my man!  way cool.... very well done... bravo...

sounds awesome...lots of wonderful rockin nuggets for my noggin...

head bobbin, and I like the feel you gave this.

cool you did it

[T.C. Elliott]

The only thing I hate more than realizing I'm writing a song that's already been written is not realizing it until someone points it out to me. I, too, am digging your kind of laid back, moody take. I actually think it would be fun to play this one rocked out, too. But seriously digging your take.

[Bluesberry]

Yeah, this sound really cool like this......spooky almost....

Was just watching a documentary about the monkeys recently.
What a situation, producers wouldn't let them play on the albums, used session musicians.
Which really passed them off as they all felt capable.
This sounds more laid back than the original, a different groove.
Nice one.

Love your twist on this. John and I still bust out "Pleasant Valley Sunday" by Carole King and Gerry Goffin once in a while.

GREAT background vocals, especially the doo doo doo part. What a fun ride.

Hey Ron, I thought I had commented on this one, but apparently not. They say the mind is the first thing to go and I don't remember the second thing, lol. A cool version of this classic Monkees' hit song. You did some good vocal work and guitar on this cover!

[Rene Asologuitar]

Always love your expert guitar track, and your vocals is so nice.
I am not familiar with this classic, and I love your version!
Thank you!!!

[Ron D Bowes]

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have now released this as my latest single ;-)
