GENE CLARK
White Light
2023 Spain Ltd. Edition reissue

A phenomenal note-perfect songwriting masterpiece for a fine Saturday afternoon.

It baffles my mind that this album was only a commercial success in the Netherlands when it came out in ‘71.

Sure.
NOW it’s recognized as the stroke of genius that it is, but how could have people missed it back then?

More than anything else, White Light shows that Clark was the true heartbeat of The Byrds.
The lyrics are poetry, the music absolutely sublime. Incredible countrified melodies. Just amazing on all fronts.

Listen to his take on “Tears Of Rage” and tell me his isn’t the best version.

I dare you.
