The 1980's victimize yet another rock legend

"When one thinks of Gene Clark, the word "organic" comes to mind. This disc was produced at the moment when analog was about to cede to digital and record companies were no longer concentrating on artist development. It's decidedly not organic. While the songs were not up to his usual standard, the production doesn't help this set either. There are no drum machines and synthesizers clogging the tracks, but the production is still dated in that indescribable "on the cusp of the Emulator" fashion. I would have preferred two brand new original tunes over remakes of "Mr. Tambourine Man" (with complete lyrics) or "Set You Free This Time". Recommended for Clark completists only. For beginners, see "Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers", a fine stepping stone from his Byrds era to his singer-songwriter period."
