Some copies came with a circular sticker on the shrink wrap saying "Contains the hit single 'Silver Moon. The three First National Band albums (Magnetic South, Loose Salute and Nevada Fighter) on two discs. European compilation of RCA recordings. Rio: The Best Of Michael Nesmith. Music Club Deluxe MCDLX092).
But when Nesmith left the pre-Fab Four to form the First National Band, he dove head first into the twangy stuff, and if he wasn't the first guy to merge country and rock (Gram Parsons easily beat him to the punch on that), he was certainly doing it well before country-rock became the next big thing, and Magnetic. South made it clear he had his own distinct way of bringing the two genres together.

Magnetic South is the first solo album by American singer-songwriter Michael Nesmith during his post-Monkees career. Magnetic South is considered an early example of country rock. A single, " Joanne/One Rose" was taken from the album and reached Number 21 on the Billboard singles charts and Number 6 on the Adult Contemporary charts. Five of the album's eleven tracks are from Nesmith's career with The Monkees.
The First National Band. Michael Nesmith/Mike Nesmith & The First National Band - Joanne. Joanne was Michael Nesmith's first single. It charted the highest of his singles as a solo recording artist. On October 3, 1970, it reached on the Billboard Top 100 chart. Its success travelled around the globe - reaching in New Zealand, in Canada, and in Australia. Probably due to its pretty melody and poetic lyrics, the melancholy song is often misunderstood as romantic. Countless men have told Nez over the years that they've dedicated the song to their wife or girlfriend - who just so happens to be named Joanne! Sorry.
