New, Cool Music Playlist for Autumn 2019

Gene Clark No Other (1974 - Deluxe 3CD)

We've been hearing a lot for a couple of years now about The Byrds' co-founder Gene Clark's lost solo masterpiece No Other (1974), and how today's indie rockers have embraced it, although it hadn't found much of an audience when it was originally released in the 70s. 

After "Eight Miles High", Gene Clark left Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, and The Byrds for a solo career that never really took off, despite producing extraordinary work with Dillard & Clark, 1986's excellent So Rebellious A Lover with Carla Olson, as well as solo albums such as White Light, Roadmaster, and No Other. Clark died prematurely at 46 in 1991.

No Other features the extraordinary work of Native American guitar virtuoso Jesse Ed Davis, with whom Gene Clark shared a close relationship. This album is the fitting culmination of their years of work together.

Here's a chance to hear a three-disc version of No Other with different takes, including tracks newly remastered at London's Abbey Road by Sid Griffin and John Wood (great job, guys!)

Kanye West Jesus Is King. I listened to this album with open ears and I think it's garbage. The gospel and 70s soul stylings are nice, but a whole album of holy roller songs by one of our finest MAGA-loving meglomaniac sounds like just too much - and it is. Avoid.
