Album Description
The 1968 debut, originally released on A&M, from one of the first and finest L.A. country-rock outfits. Comprised of Gene Clark, hot on the heels of his departure from the Byrds and his debut solo release (with the Gosdin Bros.), and Doug Dillard, the virtuosic banjoist/guitarist of the Dillards. Gene Clark is perhaps the most underrated songwriter of the 1960s and this could very well be his finest post-Byrds moment. Featuring help from fellow Byrd Chris Hillman, future Burrito Brother 'Sneaky' Pete Kleinow, and future Burrito/Eagle Bernie Leadon, this is an absolutely essential piece of L.A. country-rock history, not to mention an out and out masterpiece.

Even Better May 19, 2007

I can't add that much to the accolades below - this genre defying work of art is truly one of the great albums of all time. But be aware that the bonus tracks on this import version (12 tracks rather than 9) are some of the best, and add significantly to the irresistable pleasure of hearing this again and again.
This Album Invents Country Rock April 13, 2002
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
It's not surprising this album didn't sell, after all, do any albums worth owning break any sales records? The answer? No. Of the 9 songs there is not one bad one. It's bluegrass,country,folk,gospel and even almost soul (see the opening track "Out on the Side"), sometimes all at the same time. Without an album like this country nor rock would have come this far. Maybe one day it will be discovered by a mass audience and have the 'comeback' it never had. A real gem.
Buying another copy.... December 25, 2000
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
My vinyl record wore out, then the CD, and now have to buy it again. One of those albums that is necessary in any collection, and is actually listened to periodically with the same mix of joy, sadness, and sing-a-long as the first time i ever listened. (its like readers pay the short story writer Saki the ultimate compliment... they buy his books and read them...) I am mostly a rock n roller, but this cross over, if it could be pigeonholed, is a must have. Can't wait til it gets here in the mail and I can let Laura listen....
God bless Gene Clark! March 30, 1999

I cried when Gene Clark died. The original lead singer for The Byrds, he wrote and sang the most timelessly beautiful songs of any of their alumni. Just listen to "Here Without You" from the first Byrds album if you don't believe me. Check out this record and see. You'll play it incessantly, just like all the rest of us that have taken the time to review it. Then get all the rest of his stuff. What a shame that he passed. What a shame that so few knew what a treasure this man was. He deserved better.
Some of the greatest Down Home American music ever recorded January 20, 1999

Read all the other reviews of this timeless record then stop wasting time and order it. My original copy saw so much play it sounds like a waterfall. This record blends clever hooks with traditional Appalacian Bluegrass to create the first true Cross-Over piece of its genre. The fine tuned harmonies and sense of musical joy delivered on this record leave you with a lasting smile. Enjoy...
