As co-founder of 60s counter-culture voyagers The Byrds, Gene Clark helped psychedelic pop soar “Eight Miles High” in charts the world over. But his stint with the band was brief, and he would soon take his songwriting skills in novel directions. Country and folk-tinged rock numbers line the route to lush, baroque compositions with gospel spirit. Indeed, the songs of Clark (who died in 1991) span the breadth of American popular music. They’ve also served as inspiration to a wealth of jangle-pop disciples. Decades may have passed, yet Clark’s oeuvre still sounds like no other.
