Original Byrd and legendary singer-songwriter who crafted highly poetic folk and country-rock.
Gene Clark will always be best remembered for his two-year stint as a vocalist with the Byrds between 1964 and 1966.
A fine legacy to be sure, but the shame of it is that there was far more to Clark's body of work than that;
he was a superb songwriter, one of the founding fathers of country-rock,
and recorded a number of fine albums with an impressive array of collaborators
whose quality far outstripped their modest sales figures

The first album that Gene Clark released after his departure from the Byrds followed very closely
on the model of his earlier efforts on the Byrds' first two albums.
His backing musicians included ex-bandmates Chris Hillman andMichael Clarke, as well
as future Byrd Clarence White and Clark collaborator Doug Dillard, not to mention the Gosdin Brothers,
whose harmonies resembled a rockier Everly Brothers and brought the sound very close to that of the Byrds.
The album contains a number of fine pop-oriented tunes and stellar folk-rock/country-rock numbers
(a year before the Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo, which employed both White and Dillard) and established
Clark as a major songwriter, rivaling his old band and often coming close to the fabness of the Beatles.
Still, despite such solid songs and backing musicians, Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers failed to make much of an impact,
perhaps due to its being released in the same week as the Byrds' Younger Than Yesterday,
itself a tour de force that cemented their influence. However, in the realm of Clark's recorded output,
this album stands as the one of the best, if not the best, example of how powerful a singer, writer, and bandleader he was...(AllMusic)
