Genre	Pop, Pop rock
Label	Capitol
Producer	Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart

Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart was an album released by the group of the same name, released in 1976. The group consisted of Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. Dolenz and Jones had been members of '60s pop group/band The Monkees while Boyce and Hart had written many of the groups biggest hits such as "Last Train to Clarksville" and "(Theme from) The Monkees". As such, several publications, such as Allmusic, consider the album to be a Monkees-reunion album. Although the album failed to make much of an impact when originally released, renewal of interest in The Monkees led to its reissue on compact disc years later.^[1] The reason why the group was called Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart was because they were legally prohibited from using The Monkees name. Former Monkees members Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork were also invited to join the group, but they both declined.
