	CMT.com : Gene Clark : Biography
		Gene Clark was born in Tipton, MO, in 1944.
		Clark's father was an amateur musician with a passion for country music which rubbed off on young Gene; he began learning the guitar at age nine and was soon picking out Hank Williams tunes, as well as material by early rockers such as Elvis Presley and the Everly Brothers.
		Clark left A&M just in time for the Byrds to cut a reunion album with their original lineup; Clark contributed a pair of fine songs to the project, "Full Circle" and "Changing Heart," but most of the album sounded uninspired and the reunion quickly splintered.

	Gene Clark, The Early Years: 1957-1964
		As a young boy, Clark enjoyed Hank Williams and other country musicians, but in his early teen years, he was, like McGuinn and Hillman, galvanized by Elvis Presley, the Everly Brothers, and other early rockers.
		Until recently, Gene Clark's tenure with the group was obscure, presumably because of the group's lack of street credibility with both the rock audience and the folk music purists who tend to make up the music press.
		Clark was unhappy with the group's pop approach to the its material.

		Gene's plaintive but lonely voice takes lead and the rest of the Byrds are to be found cooing sweet harmonies that create a special warm vibe that was not always around the five Byrds at this particular time.
		Gene was soon out on his own to embark on a critically acclaimed solo career and the rest of the album doesn't feature any of original Byrds and includes five more self penned tracks from the prolific writer.
		Clark wrote all but two of the songs on this album and it is only a small part of the man's hard to find back catalogue.

		Gene Clark's death, like his role in the first credible American rock band to counter the British invasion, slipped by almost unnoticed.
		Clark's roots were in the heartland - Missouri, to be exact; he paid his dues singing folk music - his first professional break was singing with the New Christy Minstrels in the dying days of the hootenanny craze.
		Clark became less and less visible, although renewed interest in the Byrds was sparking talk of a Clark comeback.

	Gene Clark
		However, Clark was terrified, they say, after the tornado of May 1957 that skipped to the south of the Clark home near Swope Park and burrowed through the Ruskin Heights district.
		If there was a moment in Gene Clark's life that was more important than others, it was when Randy Sparks, the entrepreneur behind the New Christy Minstrels, stopped off at the Castaways to hear the Surf Riders and hired all three members of the group.
		Clark's departure from the Byrds is an early example of a Los Angeles singer-songwriter leaving a triumphant band to pursue a successful solo career.

	* Dusted Features [ What Isn't There Is What You Want To Find: Gene Clark Considered ] *
		Gene Clark was to some degree a victim of his own creative integrity in the face of record industry marketing considerations, not to mention his addictions and insecurities, and paradoxically, his own big - but easily-bruised - ego.
		Gene Clark’s art was one of contrasts: the starkly honest innocence- meets- experience spiritual confessions of 1971’S White Light were followed in 1974 by one of the great forgotten masterpieces of L.A. studio rock, the dreamy, dense No Other.
		Clark’s difficulties in finding an audience for his solo work, in finding a marketing niche for his sound, in finding and holding onto money-- in finding a center and controlling his increasingly destructive alcohol and drug abuse- -are described with painstaking honesty in Einarson’s book.

	AFF's Brainwash :: Gene Healy :: Clark vs. Dean
		Dean, unlike Clark, was never in charge of a senseless, unjustified war against a country that never threatened us, which kinda helps when you're arguing against senseless, unjustified wars against countries that don't threaten us.
		Clark's Kosovo campaign was both inept (destroying only around 14 tanks in 78 days) and bloody (killing a whole mess more civilians than military);
		Dean, unlike Clark, is able to blink and doesn't have a creepy thousand-yard stare that makes him look like he's ready to either burst out incongrously into giggles or stab you in the eye with a pen.

	Adrian's Album Reviews : Gene Clark
		Gene Clark remains an underappreciated musician, and this album is definitely a lost gem.
		Gene's next move was to form the Dillard and Clark grouping, comprising of himself and Doug Dillard on backing vocals and banjo.
		Gene deserved to be as successful as Dylan, Lennon and Neil Young to name but a few of his contemporaries who were equally talented but acknowledged as great artists during their working lives.

	The Byrds
		Gene Clark, Roger McGuinn, and Gram Parsons recorded a small stack of solo records, and I have reviewed a few of those too (see below); Crosby's post-Byrds work is covered on the CSNY page.
		Clark quit just as the Byrds began work on their third album; it had little effect on their sound but pulled the rug out from under their gang of songwriters.
		Clark appropriated Hillman and Clarke as his rhythm section, tapped Vern and Rex Gosdin to add smooth, Crosby-esque harmonies, and got a fellow named Bill Rinehart to fill in on jangly McGuinn-influenced guitar.

	Gene Clark Tribute featuring Ol' Yeller - The Hexagon - Minneapolis - 5/21/05 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Tamborine Man,” and “Feel A Whole Lot Better,” Clark also had a long and influential solo career and influenced music from folk rock to psychedelic rock and is considered by many to be the father of country rock.
		Clark died at the age of 47 in 1991, but not before contributing much during his 3 decades of experimentation with musical genres.
		While somehow Clark’s name has not become as familiar over the years as say, Neil Young, Townes van Zandt or Gram Parsons, he was clearly a major contributor to a deep well of songwriting and influential style and rhythms.

	No Other (Remastered With Bonus Tracks) - Gene Clark - Buy @ SmokeCDs.com music cd store (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		In retrospect it is easy to call this album a classic, with ex-Byrd Gene Clark in complete creative control and providing a beautiful embodiment of country, rock and soul, all held together by excellent compositions and inspired playing and production.
		When Clark left that group in 1966 they were at the peak of their considerable powers, yet he was full of ambition and had a musical vision that matched his lyrics - a mix of the whimsical and morally conscious.
		Clark's moving voice sounds vulnerable and full of emotion with his lyricism at its finest, to quote the liner notes "coming across like a modern day Confucious".

		Two Sides was Gene Clark's last solo album for a major label.
		Clark's explorations into country music are much more at home on this album, as tracks such as "Mary Lou" and "Kansas City Southern" demonstrate.
		Oddly, one of the highlights of this record is a non-Clark composition, the traditional "In the Pines," which showcases Clark's brilliant (and underrated) vocal ability.

	Gene Clark: This Byrd Has Flown
		As a founding member of the Byrds, Clark was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991, a few months before his death.
		Clark wrote some of the best early Byrds songs, one of which, "Feel a Whole Lot Better," Tom Petty recorded in 1990.
		Clark was the first Byrd to fly in 1966, and his subsequent solo career flickered with moments of brilliance -- he was one of the seminal figures of folk-rock and country-rock.

	Gene Clark - No Other - Stylus Magazine
		It wasn’t an unreasonable proposition; though Clark’s solo career had hit something of a thud in terms of sales, the Byrds’ best songwriter was hitting his stride artistically at the dawn of the 70s.
		To boot, Clark would be the only one to come out with his dignity in tact on the Byrds’ flaccid reunion album, released by Asylum earlier in 1973.
		Here, credit must be given to producer Kaye, who was inspired to create a soundscape for Clark’s quirky, formally-complex songs that was largely grounded in country music (or what was passing for it at the time) but emblazoned with a massive grab bag of gospel choirs, psychedelic guitars, wah-wah violins and honky tonk piano.

		To say that Gene Clark was The Byrds would be a disservice to a talented group with four strong songwriters.
		That said, Clark was the heart of The Byrds; his vulnerable songs recall John Lennon and Bob Dylan at their best while remaining uniquely his own.
		Opening with "You Showed Me" (which Clark co-wrote and ultimately was covered by The Turtles), the CD moves sequentially through Clark's career with The Byrds (he appeared on three albums but departed during the recording of the band's third)moving through a handful of the band's classic Clark penned tracks.

		Echoes is a repackaging of Gene Clark's debut album, Gene Clark With the Gosdin Brothers.
		The Byrds comparison is really unavoidable: it's both Clark's best solo work and, not coincidentally, the one which resembles the Byrds most strongly.
		To be brutal, it doesn't measure up to Clark's best songs from his Byrds days, but it's fairly strong, melodic '60s folk-rock nonetheless, perhaps with a bit of a more countrified, laid-back, generic feel.

		Gene Clark was the golden voiced bard of a generation - this book deserves a place in the homes of all music fans and as an introduction for those who have yet to discover the genius, who was so much more than Mr Tambourine Man...
		The story of the Byrds' Gene Clark celebrates his unique talents as a singer and songwriter while revealing the emotional/chemical imbalances and addictions which somehow conspired to eventually destroy him.
		You feel immense pity for Clark, anger and grief at how he never could quite hold himself together yet also feel sheer admiration for how he always managed to produce beautiful songs and sing with such soul and skill.

		By 1970 Gene had departed from the Fantastic Expedition due to lack of critical acclaim and recorded She's The Kind Of Girl (backed by the Byrds, as was One In A Hundred), the first tune on Roadmaster which was only available as a Holland import unti now!
		The musical backgrounds colored by Gene and company seem a little dated 20 years down the road and sometimes the rock doesn't really roll, but there's enough fine singing on this to recommend it....
		Guy Clark's material has long been in need of reissuing, because his songs have gotten more credit than he has.

	Gene Expression: Clark 2004?
		In a luncheon speech to the Utah Democratic Party, Brazile said that General Clark would enter the campaign and that President Bush is vulnerable on domestic and foreign policy issues.
		Indeed, General Clark acts more and more like a candidate each day, as he lashed out at the Republican administration during a media tour that has included interviews with media outlets ranging from network morning shows to syndicated radio shows.
		As historian David Halberstam writes in War in a Time of Peace, Clark's critics "always believed he might be a little too political." Clark often frustrated subordinates and superiors alike with his micromanaging tendencies and political maneuvering.

	Gene Clark of the Byrds High School Picture
		If there is an interest in what Gene Clark was like in high school, I would like to convey my personal perception.
		Gene was a genuine, sincere guy who went to school full time and worked after school to earn a little money - and there was his ever-growing interest in music.
		His dream was to become a recording star and he cut a few demo's during that period.
