Gene Clark - White Light

AVAILABLE ON NOVEMBER 17TH, 2023

LIMITED EDITION COUNTRY ROCK CLASSIC

180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL

The second solo album by Gene Clark, a former member of The Byrds, White Light [aka Gene Clark], in spite of its high musical quality, never made it into the US charts in its time, even if it achieved commercial success in the Netherlands, where rock critics also voted it album of the year. Clark's backing band included producer and guitarist Jesse Edwin Davis, bassist Chris Ethridge of the Flying Burrito Brothers, organist Michael Utley, along with pianist Ben Sidran and drummer Gary Mallaber, both of the Steve Miller Band.

According to AllMusic reviewer Thom Jurek, "Over its nine original tracks, White Light has established itself as one of the greatest singer/ songwriter albums ever made. The focus on these tracks is intense, they are taut and reflect his growing obsession with country music. Now this is classic rock."
