Original Byrd and legendary singer-songwriter who crafted highly poetic folk and country-rock.

Gene Clark will always be best remembered for his two-year stint

as a vocalist with the Byrds between 1964 and 1966. 

A fine legacy to be sure, but the shame of it is that there was far more to Clark's body of work than that; 

he was a superb songwriter, one of the founding fathers of country-rock, 

and recorded a number of fine albums with an impressive array of collaborators 

whose quality far outstripped their modest sales figures

SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)

 A solidly visionary recording that decided to use every available means to illustrate Gene Clark's razor-sharp 

songwriting that lent itself to open-ended performance and production -- often in the same song 

(one listen to the title track bears this out in spades). Clark and producer Thomas Jefferson Kaye 

entered Village Recorders in L.A. having assembled a cast of players that included Clark veterans 

such as Michael Utley and Jesse Ed Davis, the Allman Brothers' Butch Trucks, Lee Sklar, Russ Kunkel, 

Joe Lala, Chris Hillman, Danny "Kooch" Kortchmar, Howard Buzzy Feiten, and Stephen Bruton. 

Backing vocalists such as Clydie King, Venetta Field, and Shirley Matthews -- who would appear 

on Bob Dylan's Street Legal two years later -- and including Cindy Bullens, Carlena Williams, 

Ronnie Barron, Claudia Lennear, and the Eagles' Timothy B. Schmidt were also in the house. 

What it adds up to is a sprawling, ambitious work that brought elements of country, folk, 

jazzed-out gospel, blues, and trippy rock to bear on a song cycle that reflects the mid-'70s better 

than anything from that time, yet sounds hauntingly timely even now. 

There are no edges on No Other, even in its rockier tracks such as "Strength of Strings," which 

echoes Neil Young's "Cowgirl in the Sand" melodically, but its bridge is pure mystic Eastern harmony, 

complete with slide guitar wizardry. The shimmering dark textures of "Silver Raven," 

where Clark's falsetto vocal is kissed by synth and muted basslines and extended 

by a chorus that could have come off CSNY's Déjà Vu, is one of the most heartbreakingly 

blissed-out country-folk songs in recorded music history. "From a Silver Phial," as 

haunting and beautiful as it is, is one of the strangest songs Clark ever wrote, 

given its anti-drug references (especially considering this is one of the more coked-out 

records to come from L.A. during the era). The final two cuts, "The True One" and "Lady of the North" 

(co-written with Doug Dillard), are the only two pieces on the disc 

that mirror back with accuracy where Clark had come from...(AllMusic)
