 Mixed bag of some historical interest November 20, 2008

My exploration of pre-Eagles country rock was bound to lead me to this CD given the previous reviews. It may be as relevant to music history as everybody says but it probably won't get much repeat play from me. It's burdened with a persistent melancholy that I find too much in contrast to the fun that country rock should be. On the 6 star "The Gilded Palace of Sin" Gram Parsons and his Burrito collaborators sing of dead hippies and burning rain but with a touch of irony and a soulful attitude. To make things worse, the better of the two albums contained here is interspersed with some singles sides that really could have been relegated to the back. For 1969 the Fantastic Expedition is a brilliant production with excellent instrumental work, no doubt about that. Bernie Leadon brought a great song (Train Leaves Here This Mornin') along for the Eagles debut. I'd say the original here is clearly better. But expect to find such quality only among an equal amount of ho-hum.
 Dillard & Clark - Timeless November 16, 2008

Anything with Gene Clark present is worth investigating, this complete collection of all the Dillard & Clark back tracks is a perfect example of this.
The music shows the commercial birth of Bluegrass tinged country rock and mildly rocking country rock. Alison Krauss must have listened to these recordings many times!
Although the musical content is great the liner notes are not too helpful. There are no clear song writing credits anywhere and no mention of the female singer on the first album...who was she? Donna Washburn is present on the second album tracks, was she there on the first as well?
To summerise - a great bunch of historic recordings (with some mild filler tracks, as expected) but poor specific player/writing credit information, hence a star dropped. Looks like a trawl through the web is required...

Gene Clark and the Byrds were really the catalyst for country music being taken more seriously than it had during the 60a.His first solo album was made with the Gosdin Brothers-who were not to see any chart action until Vern Gosdin in the next decade.
With Sweetheart of the Rodeo the Byrds went headlong into country music and probably invented country rock as urban met rural
The 2 albums as Dillard & Clark were not among the biggest sellers but are always going to sound better than the Eagles who are more a rock band.
This is the real deal

Doug Dillard and Gene Clark recorded two albums together and they are combined in this bargain CD. Clark's wonderfully expressive voice is backed up by Dillard's more jokey delivery. The music is played with gusto - listen out for mandolin, banjo and fiddle playing in an obviously cheerful atmosphere. Really refreshing, especially for anyone who has always thought country was nothing but 'Dyin' Dog Music'. If this doesn't change your mind, nothing will!

Gene Clark and Doug Dillard made two albums together, and this bargain priced disc combines them. Imagine the Beatles' Don't Let Me Down done bluegrass. The singing and playing are superb - helping to undo much of the lingering prejudice about country music being dull. This is a delight.
