Our Take

Peter Tork, the lesser-known Monkee, has reemerged from the depths of 60s pop obscurity with his latest solo effort, "Stranger Things Have Happened." And let me tell you, stranger things have indeed happened because somehow, Tork has managed to craft an album that is both bonkers and brilliant at the same time.

From the opening track, "Monkeeing Around," Tork sets the tone for the album with his signature blend of whimsical lyrics and catchy melodies. It's like taking a trip down memory lane, but with a psychedelic twist that you never saw coming. And just when you think you've got Tork all figured out, he hits you with a curveball like "Funky Time Machine," a funky, disco-infused jam that transports you straight back to Studio 54 in its heyday.

But don't be fooled by the playful nature of Tork's music, there is some serious musical craftsmanship at work here. Tracks like "Electric Lullaby" showcase Tork's impressive guitar skills, while "Space Oddity Pt. 2" proves that he's no one-trick pony when it comes to songwriting.

In the end, "Stranger Things Have Happened" is a delightful romp through the mind of a true musical maverick. Tork may not be a household name like his Monkee counterparts, but after listening to this album, you'll be wondering why he isn't. So do yourself a favour and give this album a spin, because as Tork himself would say, stranger things have happened.

So let's raise a glass to Peter Tork – the unsung hero of The Monkees and a true musical maestro in his own right. Cheers, Peter – here's to many more years of groovy tunes and good vibes.
