The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark - Classic Folk Rock Album | Vinyl & Digital Download | Perfect for Road Trips & Campfire Gatherings

I don't think it's a coincidence that there are no reviews of this album as of this date on Amazon that are less than five stars. This album is a gem, and definitely an underrated one. Great harmonies and songwriting, and excellent playing. Gene Clark in my opinion deserves a lot more credit than he gets for influencing the albums released later by Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Brothers, not to mention bands like Poco and the Eagles. It's a shame that Gene himself didn't see the profits from being such an innovator, but this album (and so many of Gene's others) are treasures left for us to listen to. Of all the routes that Gene Clark could have taken after leaving the Byrds, he ended up making his mark on American roots music with this album, and as much as I think it was a smart move in retrospect, it is clear from Gene's career that he did what he believed in regardless of the commercial gain. We as listeners should be thankful for that.
