This album is a bit uneven; I found it pretty boring at first, with not-so-interesting country/folk, but then there are more progressive bits here and there that start to be blended in, and this is way better. Once again an album questionning the relevance of this list; what is so remarkable that it has to be there? Not sure.
Gene Clark was a founder member the Byrds, but left after various disputes in 1966, and spent the next decade or so in various collaborations and solo projects. This album from 1974 is a bit of a hodge podge of country, folk, soft rock, jazz and gospel, and the lyrics are similarly diverse (and very possibly drug inspired). Apparently it bombed at the time, and in retrospect it’s interesting rather than essential.
