This year marks just over five decades since Monkee-mania began.
And now, all three surviving band members – Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork – have teamed up to release their first new studio album in 20 years, Good Times!

The three men have all written songs together, provided vocals and performed music on the album and the unmistakable voice of the late Davy Jones is also included with a vintage vocal on the Neil Diamond-penned “Love To Love.”
Fascinatingly, they have also completed many songs for Good Times! that were originally written and recorded for the group during the 60s.
Harry Nilsson wrote the title track Good Times, which he recorded at a session with Nesmith in January 1968.
The production was never completed, so the band returned to the original session tape (featuring Nilsson’s guide vocal) and have created a duet with his close friend Dolenz.
Good Times will mark the first time Dolenz and Nilsson have sung together since Dolenz’ May 1973 single Daybreak.
Good Times! will be available on May 27 and can be pre-ordered now.
