321. Gene Clark - No Other

Release Date: 1974
Label: Asylum

Back in January, I confessed I wasn't too impressed with Gene Clark's first solo offering in this book; suggesting it had nothing new to offer amongst the other singer/songwriter albums of the time. As such I was apprehensive about this album - especially as I considered Gene Clark would be past his best by now. I was wrong, very wrong. This was such a discovery, and another one I knew from the first twenty seconds I'd like. I don't think there was a bad track on the album, and it's suprising that it was such as commerical/critical flop at the time of its release.

Rating: 10/10

236. Gene Clark - White Light

Release Date: 1971
Label: A&M

Gene Clark was the original vocalist for The Byrds, leaving after the release of their second album before they went country. This is his second solo album - released four years after the first - and is your standard singer/songwriter fare. It has everything you'd expect- acoustic guitars, harmonicas, nice tunes etc - but nothing to set it apart from the rest of the pack.

Rating: 6/10
