AUDIOPHILE: DIGITAL

摘要

If you have a penchant for cult artists, there's no box un-ticked by Gene Clark -ex-Byrd, pioneer of country rock, dead at 46, remembered for a half-dozen sublime albums. Every time I hear this plaintive release, shaking my fists at the gods for making Gram Parsons more celebrated, I despair. But that's a plea for you to discover him if you haven't already. Intervention has done a sensational job with this SACD edition of his 1971 release, his most celebrated. While I prefer his eponymous debut with The Gosdin Brothers, it ranks as among the best singer-songwriter albums of the era, its lone cover - Dylan's 'Tears of Rage' - worthy of The Band itself.
