Gene Clark - White Light (1971)

"White Light", recorded in 1969 and released in 1971, was the first disc released under its own name. A fine blend of pop, folk and country-style pop music, with a magical voice, the album places its author somewhere between Gram Parsons and the early Tim Buckley folk. Some tracks, like the untouchable "With Tomorrow" or the subtle "For A Spanish Guitar" give the vertigo as they are sublime.

"White Light", enregistré en 1969 et sorti en 1971, fut le premier disque commercialisé sous son seul nom. Fin mélange d'écriture pop, folk et country  très acoustique et sans lourdeur, chanté d'une voix magique, l'album place son auteur quelque part entre Gram Parsons et le Tim Buckley folk des débuts . Quelques titres, comme l'intouchable "With Tomorrow" ou le subtil "For A Spanish Guitar" donnent le vertige tant ils sont sublimes.
