Search - Gene Parsons :: Kindling

With this exclusive release, we add Gene Parsons to the list of ex-Byrds (Gene Clark and Skip Battin being the others) whose solo work we ve reissued, and this might be the most Byrds-ian of the roost, for joining Gene on almost every track is the unmistakable guitar work of Mr. Clarence White! But that s not the only rootsrock bona fide Kindling has going for it; joining Gene and Clarence on this album are none other than Ralph Stanley, Gib Guilbeau and Vassar Clements (plus a bizarre cameo appearance by Red Callender on tuba). The result is, as Eugene Chadbourne writes on All-Music Guide, that The best parts of this Gene Parsons album have that clear taste of a mountain stream. So drink deep of this 1974 album; it appears on CD here for the first time, with new notes by Richie Unterberger and our customary sparkling remastering job. A Collectors Choice Music exclusive!
