Musical association time: having posted on Andrew Gold earlier this week brought to mind his association with Linda Ronstadt, who had a hit with this version of the Michael Nesmith-penned 'Different Drum' as part of The Stone Poneys (though it has been covered many times both before and since - more on that later). This is my favourite version, but not the one that first drew me to the song...
Bonus Clips: ... which was the cover by The Lemonheads released in 1990...
... another more recent live version by Susanna Hoffs & Matthew Sweet to plug their cover album from a few years back...
... one more by the Canadian band The Poppy Family featuring Terry Jacks (more on him coming up in a future post)...
... and finally a quick clip by the writer himself from an episode of The Monkees :-) (R.I.P. Mike)
