Nesmith has been considered one of the pioneers of country rock.[14] He also had moderate commercial success with the First National Band. Their second single, "Joanne," hit No. 21 on the Billboard chart, No. 17 on Cashbox, and No.4 in Canada, with the follow-up "Silver Moon" making No. 42 Billboard, No. 28 Cashbox, and No. 13 in Canada. Two more singles charted ("Nevada Fighter" made No. 70 Billboard/No. 73 Cashbox/No.67 Can., and "Propinquity" reached No. 95 Cashbox), and the first two LPs charted in the lower regions of the Billboard album chart.
