Album Notes & Community Reviews

After departing the Flying Burrito Brothers and Dillard & Clark, the legendary country-rock pioneer delivered an incredibly stripped-down, beautifully intimate acoustic masterpiece. 'White Light' is wonderfully mellow and profoundly poetic, showcasing Gene Clark's intensely introspective songwriting amidst deeply bittersweet, highly melodic, and wonderfully pastoral folk-rock arrangements.
