Flying High (CD)
Gene Clark
Amoeba Review
Tiffany Anders 08/02/2010
Former Byrds front man Gene Clark has an immense body of incredible songs that he penned both for The Byrds and during his solo career. This two-disc set features not only those solo songs but several recognizable Byrds songs that the listener may not be aware that he penned. The set for the most part is compiled in chronological order, culminating with tracks off his brilliant 1974 release, No Other. In addition to album tracks, there are also a few tracks never before released, like “Winter’s In” and “That’s Alright By Me.” The collection features fantastic liner notes by Sid Griffin and former Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers member Chris Hillman. There has since been other Gene Clark compilations released, but this by far is the best out of the lot for sheer content and insight alone.
