Year of Mondays is an album by the American musician Mike Johnson, released in 1996.[2][3] Dedicated to Charlie Rich, it was Johnson's first album for a major label.[4][5]
Year of Mondays was released around the same time as Martin + Me, by Johnson's Dinosaur Jr. bandmate J Mascis.[6] TAG/Atlantic Records attempted to market the album to both modern rock and adult album alternative audiences.[7]
The album was produced by John Agnello and Johnson.[8] Mascis played drums on the album; Mudhoney's Dan Peters played drums on the tour that followed the album's release.[9] Mark Lanegan contributed backing vocals, and Barrett Martin played bass.[10][11] Johnson, who wrote nine of the 10 tracks, filled the album with "sad" songs simply because he likes listening to them.[12][13]
