GENE'S FINAL ALBUM

S. F Gulvezan | Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan USA | 04/20/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Gene Clark was one of the century's greatest singer-songwriters. That he enjoyed his most popular public success at an early age (with The Byrds) reminds me a lot of Orson Welles. But, like Welles, he went on to do so much more. His albums, after he left The Byrds, such as FANTASTIC EXPEDITION, WHITE LIGHT, NO OTHER, and TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY, took him to new heights of musical greatness. This was the final album he recorded before his untimeley death at age 46. It is a great album, in which he partnered with the very talented Carla Olson. They made a great team. Too bad he didn't live to make a second album. As it is, this is a great CD, which includes a half dozen fine Clark-Olson tracks left off the original album. Anybody who loves folk/rock/country should buy this CD. Quite simply put, they are the best, period."

Wonderful folk and country

"This is a wonderful duet album between ex-Byrd Gene Clark and ex-Textone Carla Olson. The many highlights include Clark's haunting "Gypsy Rider" and his interpretation of the Flying Burrito Brothers' "Hot Burrito # 1".

I think Clark's version of "Hot Burrito" equals the Burritos. I also enjoyed the cover of John Fogerty's "Almost Saturday Night" by the duo. It's not something I would think Clark would cover, but it works.

Olson also contributes fine numbers such as "The Drifter" and "Every Angel in Heaven." Overall, just a great album for folk, folk-rock, and country fans. Even the bonus tracks are great, including their fantastic cover of Phil Ochs' "Changes" and several demos cut to get a record deal. Sadly, Clark passed away before another album could be made. Fans of Clark and the Byrds shouldn't miss this!"

Splended !!!

Talk about Chemistry!

""So Rebellious a Lover" is an album that comes along only a few times in a lifetime. It represents a true moment of inspiration for Gene Clark and Carla Olson. Clark was a founding member of The Byrds, whose career had been on the skids for several years when his manager suggested he team up with Olson, a little-known singer/musician/songwriter from the Textones. The resulting collaboration, "So Rebellious a Lover", is considered by some to be the genesis of the alt-country movement (along with Gram Parsons' two studio albums). If true, I can certainly understand the interest that this movement generated.

Clark and Olson's voices seem to merge and weave as if they've sung together together for a lifetime. Instrumental accompaniment is wisely kept to a minimum, allowing the voices and songs to shine.

And what songs they are. Highlights of this gem include: "Gypsy Rider", a slow, country-folk number, with a haunting Parsons vocal; "Fair & Tender Ladies", a traditional folk song turned inside-out, resulting in a light country number, with gorgeous harmonies from Olson; and "Deportee", a Woody Guthrie song, sung primarily by Olson, with Parsons shining on harmonies.

"So Rebellious a Lover" manages to avoid the pitfalls of many country-folk CDs. The album never sounds too traditional or too modern; rather, it occupies a comfortable middle-ground, allowing its quality and the chemistry between Gene Clark and Carla Olson to shine through."

"This is a "must have" for Gene Clark afficianados; Carla Olson is an acquired taste whose voice sometimes seems to clash with Gene's. There are some absolutely brilliant performances such as "Del Gato" and "All the Fair and Tender Ladies." For a real treat and an insight to Gene's genius, get a copy of "No Other" - easily one of the best albums of all time."
