Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Hot on the heels of the Gram Parsons compilation, comes this latest collection from Raven Records. Gene Clark was undoubtedly one of the most underrated talents of his generation. This 24-track, 75-minute collection is the perfect companion to Columbia's excellent Byrds' boxed set. It includes the pick of his back catalogue, and draws not only on his premier solo recordings, but also his collaborations with Doug Dillard, the Flying Burritos and the Gosdin Brothers. Impressively packaged and illustrated, this CD emphasizes the man's superb songwriting craft and includes his original versions of songs recorded by the Eagles, Tom Petty and others. An added bonus is the original, previously unreleased mix of 'Full Circle' from the Roadmaster sessions. 1992.

5.0 out of 5 stars What Was and What Might Have Been, May 16, 2000
By Frank Lemire (Montclair, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Gene Clark's American Dreamer is a must have for any fan, and a thoughtful compilation that will satisfy any lover of well crafted words and music. The treasure here is in getting both previously unreleased material and material that is no longer in production. It is in the newly released material that I find the greatest joy and sorrow. The included version of "One In A Hundred" is a revalation. Gene Clark backed by Roger McGuinn's 12 string is a joy to behold and vastly superior to the version released on the "White Light" album. Thats not to say that the "White Light" version is bad because it is in fact very, very good. But there is a particular magic when Clark's voice and lyrics are paired with McGuinn's musicianship and production. One cannot help but wonder how other of Clark's songs would have sounded with Roger at his side. The CD is worth having for that one song alone. Thats the "what might have been". The "what was" is good enough to stand on its own. "She Don't Care About Time","Spanish Guitar" and the rest form a body of work that most people will find "what if" proof. As a fan I find myself second guessing some of the selections. Why two versions of "Full Circle" and so much from Dillard & Clark (but omitting "Kansas City Southern") and so little from the "No Other" album (namely omitting my personal favorite "The True One")? As compilations go the CD along with the liner notes are first rate. As a fan I can only hope that Gene's solo albums get put on CD or that Roger McGuinn or someone else has some more Clark & McGuinn demos in the vault.

5.0 out of 5 stars worth it for just one song, July 11, 2003
By Micheal Yates (lexington, ky United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this will be short. this is a great cd but for me, a dj once upon a time, it's worth the money just for the cut "here tonight" done with the flying burrito brothers. we used to play this frequently from the burrito brothers lp and when i saw it was on this disc i ponied up the bucks immediately.

if you haven't heard this beautiful, sweet country love song with its pedal steel buy this and enjoy

4.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to Clark, February 22, 2000
By Jules (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
This is a fine introduction to the songs of one-time Byrd Gene Clark - especially if you can't bring yourself to fork out for the 2-CD import FLYING HIGH. There are a few notable omissions: Dillard & Clark's "Polly" and "Why Not Your Baby"; and "The True One" from NO OTHER. But there's also some inspired inclusions: 2 wonderful tracks from 1970/1 with the reunited Byrds - "She's The Kind Of Girl" and "One In A Hundred"; "Here Tonight" recorded with The Flying Burrito Bros; and the masterpiece that is "Spanish Guitar". You'll end up coming back for more...
