It's been fifty years since the Monkees entered the public consciousness with their television program "The Monkees." The band will celebrate the milestone by releasing Good Times!, their first collection of new material since 1997's Justus, as Rolling Stone reports. It features songs penned by Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, Oasis' Noel Gallagher, Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard, Rogue Wave's Zach Rogue, and more. They've also announced a world tour; you can find the dates below.

Aside from the contributions from modern artists, Good Times! will include songs written for the Monkees by artists like Neil Diamond, Carole King, and Harry Nilsson. It was produced by Fountains of Wayne bassist Adam Schlesinger and is their first without Davy Jones, who died in 2012. It's also slated for a June 10 release.

The band's lineup is Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork; founding member Michael Nesmith, who toured with Dolenz and Tork in 2014, is not expected to participate. Speaking with Rolling Stone, Dolenz discussed the reasoning behind recruiting modern musicians for the new record:

I'm not a big music listener outside of Frank Sinatra during martini hour, but I began doing research and I realized that the whole indie rock scene is all about recapturing that 1960s jangly guitar sound of the Monkees, amongst many other groups, of course. One reason we don't have a final track listing yet is because once we put the word out all these people said they wanted to get involved.

Several of the songs on the record are still in progress, Dolenz told Rolling Stone. ""We all agree that the lyrics in the Rivers Cuomo song needed to be aged up a little but," he said. "It sounds like it's about a little girl and I'm 70 years old, so Rivers is re-writing the lyrics."
