It described the upcoming album as &#8220;fresh and completely new arrangements&#8221; of some of the rock band&#8217;s most popular songs. The album will include a cover of the band&#8217;s debut song &#8220;Radio Free Europe&#8221; and its 1992 hit &#8220;Man on the Moon.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> TRUMPISM 2.0: INSIDE THE FORMER PRESIDENT&#8217;S PLANS FOR A SECOND TERM <\/p>\n<p> \u201cThis EP reaffirms my long-held conviction that a solid recording always begins with solid material. You don\u2019t get much more solid than R.E.M. What a joy to sing these classics and honor a team of outstanding writers,&#8221; Dolenz said in a statement about his album debuting on Nov. 3. <\/p>\n<p> R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe called the new version of the song &#8220;incredible&#8221; and went on to praise the entire tribute album. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;These songs are absolutely incredible. Micky Dolenz covering R.E.M. Monkees style, I have died and gone to heaven. This is really something,&#8221; Stipe reportedly said in a statement. <\/p>\n<p> He added, &#8220;I am finally complete.\u201d <\/p>\n<p> CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER <\/p>\n<p> The band has cited the Monkees as an influence on its musical style. <\/p>\n<p>The release of the tribute album this fall coincides with the publication of Dolenz&#8217;s book, I\u2019m Told I Had A Good Time \u2014 The Micky Dolenz Archives, Volume One.
