During the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s Shelton was a session musician working in recording studios around Hollywood.^[1] Among his more notable session work was for the Monkees, including their first self-titled album, and both recordings of the Boyce and Hart songs, “Last Train to Clarksville“, “Valleri“, and “(Theme From) The Monkees“. Shelton played the flamenco-style guitar solo on “Valleri”, which Michael Nesmith had to mimic for the cameras on their TV series.^[2][3] Even after the Monkees began playing on their own records, Shelton remained a favorite among their session players. Shelton was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum, the Arkansas Entertainers Hall of Fame and is a member of the famous group of LA session musicians known as “The Wrecking Crew“.
