This new topic is for Illmatic, who has apparently discovered just how great the criminally overlooked output of Gene Clark is.
I went on a little Byrds jag recently, and after hearing the Clark penned "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better" for years and years, I suddenly realized what a fucking great song it was. It led me to check out a double disk compilation of Clark's solo recordings called Flying High, and then from there to purchase Echoes, White Light, and the Fantastic Expedition of Dillard and Clark in rapid succession. Man oh man what great records! I put Echoes on repeat and listened to it exclusively for about three weeks straight.
More in-depth praise to come.... |
