Gene Clark- Silverado

Silverado

"Silverado '75 ~ Live & Unreleased" is an honest testament to one of the finest American singer/songwriter and performers of American popular music, well...ever. This is Gene, {on a good night} standing before a happy bunch playing some Byrd chestnuts: {"Here Without You","Set You Free This Time"} some good ol' traditional gems: {"Long Black Veil", "In The Pines'} and stipped-down versions of a few of his greatest compositions: {"Train Leaves Here This Morning", "She Darked The Sun"}.

With only two other players as support: Roger White -Guitars & Harmony Vocals and Duke Bardwell -Bass & Acoustic Guitars and Harmonies}. This is Gene's music performed without all the over-production that marred some of his studio recordings. Gene was a GREAT performer,and now we get to listen in and hear him at his very best: {listen for his great 'hillbilly' vocal tricks} and having heaps of fun. {Using a 'Dylan' voice between songs}.

To say that Gene Clark is about the most underrated of American music greats is in it's self an understatement. Here are twelve fantasic songs, and they are sung and played like no others can. Gene Clark, is presented here in all his wonder and glory...This is timeless music that shines like a mountian stream at dawn. Just give this one a listen, you won't be Sorry.

This is the Gene Clark that I remember from a stage in Norfolk, Va way back in 1985. He was amazing to watch and hear on that night, and on: "Silverado 75" all of the magic that I remember is presented all over again. This one is essential. Don't think of this as rock, folk of even country music. This is American storytelling by one of the finest we have ever had. Gene, didn't gain the notice that deserved him while he was alive. Here is another chance to enjoy nim, don't pass him by.
FIVE STARS!!!
