Silver Moon - Michael Nesmith and the First National Band

Silver Moon - Michael Nesmith and the First National Band
3:14
Loose Salute, 1970
Written by Michael Nesmith

Over pedal steel and piano, Nesmith croons a country-flavored soft pop tune of leave-taking that subtly evokes "Everybody's Talkin'," at least until that uptempo chorus kicks in.  "See the dust around my feet go churning / Moving with the winds down the highways of goodbye."  It's a bittersweet tearjerker in the old tradition, with Nesmith in a clear strong voice with a crack band behind him.  Not bad for a Monkee.
