The Amazing Adventures of Dillard & Clark!!! The Rockets. Crazy Horse (their 1st LP).
I've got most every Gene Clark LP.....he was so ahead of his time....couldn't sell a record, but influenced so many!!!
(Gene Clark with the Gosdin Bros., White Light (album of the year in Holland! the Dutch know their music!!), No Other!!,
Two Sides to Every Story, Firebyrd..........Roadmaster's a good one but was only released in Netherlands.)
Gene Clark died at the age of 46........his headstone in Tipton, MO reads simply-- "Harold Eugene Clark--No Other".......

Ya, ed, Crazy Horse is a great one! Also, some of the most amazing picking & song writing on Dillard & Clark!
I think a steel guitar on a couple tracks from FC would have been excellent. Definitly would have worked on
Four Sail, rocker. Maybe a little mandolin? (Some people must be going, "my god, what are you guys trying to do to Love??!! HA!)
How about a little dobro via Rusty Young?? I've never heard anyone play like Rusty; he makes it sound like several different instruments at different times. Rocks like an organ or sings like a string section or just picks like a great steel.
Amazing!

lk, I think I must know you, and you must know all the musicians that I played with in Brunswick! You are definately ringing true to all the music we were into and enjoyed. I used to do a duet with a great performer by the name of Bill Call, back in the early '70s at the Bowdoin Steak House in Brunswick. And the fledging band I was in played the dorm parties up at Bowdoin College. A whole other lifetime ago!

Mine was growing up in NYC during the late 50's and 60's. The streets were always alive with music. There was the sound of WABC, WMCA and WINS eminating from transistor radios sitting on the stoops, there was the sound of Salsa from the speakers above the doors of stores and even the music from the Mr Softee truck. And if you went to Centtral Park in the summer you could witness history with hundreds of thousands of others listening to Barbara Streisand on a hot summer night or attending The Schaefer Music Festival. Or walking over to Tompkins Square Park and seeing the Fugs or Blues Project for free. Unfortunately, today we isolate ourselves with iPods and headphones and only share music within the sterile confines of my space or utube or itunes. At least with forums such as this we can share our opinons with similar impassioned folks.
My defining moment for Rock was seeing Jimmy James and The Blue Flames at The Cheetah in NYC in 1966 before Jimmy was whisked off to England by Chas Chandler. |

LeeRob,
I didn't move to Maine until 1982. I'm a graphic artist, but I was a drummer and played frats too, but at the U of Iowa where
I went to school in the late 60's & early 70's. But our musical experiences & tastes are so alike we could have been in the
same band & lighting up to same music.....1500 miles apart. My favorite tunes to drum (I sang them too) were "We Gotta
Get Out Of This Place" & "House of The Rising Sun." When I was 15 my fav to perform was 'Hang On Sloopy"!!

Did you ever get to see Fred Neil, bob? He's one of my all time favorites, & 'Bleaker & MacDougal' the most beautiful
Elektra cover.

yeah...i, too have most of Gene Clark's recordings, and love most of all , " Roadmaster". the Edsel Records cd. my faves are , "Here Tonight", and , "Full Circle Song". and, i, being a big fan of pedal steel , enjoy Sneeky Pete Kleinow here! i am always collecting as much pedal steel as possible! it is a requirement for me for country-western music. i've been obsessed with the multi-dimensional sound, and love that Bakersfield sound.
Jay Dee Maness' pedal steel guitar blesses The Byrds', "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo", and for me, i like it way up front, proudly in the mix, like on Chris Hillman/Herb Pedersen's , " Bakersfield Bound" cd!
p.s: r.i.p: Sneeky Pete.

cool to see some radio influences in there
A definate one being a british teenager in the ninties was John Peels staurday afternoon radio show on bbc radio 1 which was on at the same time as my shift in a shop
Pretty much every thing was played from punk to hip hop, including Mr Lee and his band who was apparently a personal favourite of Peel's
If you listen to the ****e music and retarded presenters that are on the station in the daytime nowerdays
Its shocking to think that Mr Peel and the tunes he played had such a primetime spot

Is the Roadmaster CD still in print, bob f ? I'd love to get the vinyl import, but not likely! I'll check some sources
for the CD (that's on the Edsel Records label?). The cover pic is one of my favorite of Gene in his classic Ferrari.

I grew up in Philly (born and raised) and currently live about 25 miles East of Philly today in Southern NJ. I had moved out of my home and was living on my own from early '68 on in the big city. There was lots of local talent back then...The Nazz, Woody's Truck Stop, Mandrake Memorial, American Dream, Crystal Mansion, Good News, Sweet Stavin Chain, and others. We had venues like The Electric Factory, the Main Point, and the 2nd Fret that brought groups in from all over. I used to go the Fillmore East often and saw some great gigs (Ten Years After, Incredible String Band, Mountain and others). First group I ever saw in Philly in '66 was The Velvet Underground. Those were great times...people flashing the peace sign always.
I always liked the Blues Project. One very memorable moment was seeing the Blues Project Reunion tour in '73 in Philly. Man, those guys were really good

I worked in Philly at WYSP FM in 1975 on weekends, we were Quad 104 The Quadfather. Did you listen to us or MMR?

Never saw Fred Neil, at the time I was into the heavier stuff. But I spent 2 or 3 nights a week in west village, I grew up walking dstance from the east and west village. Saw groups like Blue Magoos, Loving Spoonful, Fugs, Blue Project for the princely sum of $1.50 or 1 drink minimum.
