over its runtime, gene clarks biggest strengths that he displays on this record ultimately become his weaknesses. its calm, stripped down, but also redundant and uneventful. its intimate, personal, but also mildly self-absorbed. its relaxing, soothing, but also boring. its interesting to see how his songwriting chops get lost amongs the simple instrumentals, considering its not a busy album at all. i still think theres some good songs here, some id even say are great, but i dont think this should be on this list.
