    The result is a musical summit in which all assembled sound like they’re having a whale of a good time. Indie rock was never so joyous.

    Scott McCaughey, in his Minus 5 guise, funnels his eclecticism into a somewhat cohesive whole that marries folk, country and rock with disarming ease. He uses his veteran musical instincts to craft tuneful yet genre pushing material that thankfully is now widely available for all to appreciate.

    Of Monkees and Men is a tangential journey through the Technicolor mind of McCaughey. Serving as a loving tribute to cult figures who’ve influenced the Minus 5 braintrust, its protagonists continue to sustain McCaughey’s undying fascination with pop culture a half-century past while informing our own.

    Of Monkees & Men is above all a Scott McCaughey album. Even the most playful songs are deeply personal, leaving no doubt about how much the Monkees meant to him in 1966 as well as 2015.
