Gene Clark is a guy I’ve sort of discovered lately. I’ve always liked The Byrds but I hadn’t listened to Gene’s stuff he did outside of them and it’s quite good. I still can’t tell you if I like the Gram style Byrds that has more country or the McQuinn that is more folk style. Both were great.

Congats on discovering Gene Clark! He had a lot of trouble getting along with record execs so his ouput is pretty disjointed, but he was recording country rock before The Byrds got there. Go look for “The Fantastic Adventures of Dillard and Clark. That may be his best album, along with “No Other”.

He died very young due to the effects of heavy drinking.
