Gene Clark - No Other 

Oof. This one still hits. 

I had a Gene Clark and the Byrds CD that I use to thrash in my car, particularly on long drives to uni and back when we had moved to the country in the hills. Sounds idyllic but it was a truly miserable time. I found comfort in singing along with Gene. 

Skip forward to the years of internet streaming and I went to see what happened after his short stint with the Byrds. When I heard this album I was absolutely floored. It's hard to believe it tanked at the time leading to Clark spiralling. Think Neil Young but opulence with a gospel choir, if one can imagine. 

Strength of Strings and Some Misunderstanding still completely overwhelm me. I need a second coffee after that.
