Our Take

In the hazy, whiskey-soaked world of folk rock, Gene Clark’s 'White Light' shines like a beacon of musical genius. With a voice that could melt butter and lyrics that cut straight to the heart, Clark weaves a tapestry of emotion that is both haunting and exhilarating.

From the opening track, 'The Virgin', Clark’s delicate guitar work and soulful vocals transport the listener to a smoky barroom in the heart of the American south. Each song is a mini masterpiece, filled with poetic imagery and raw emotion that will leave you breathless.

But it’s not just Clark’s voice that steals the show. The musicianship on 'White Light' is top-notch, with lush arrangements and expertly crafted melodies that will stick in your head for days. The album’s production is clean and crisp, allowing every note to shine through.

Standout tracks include the achingly beautiful 'With Tomorrow', the rollicking 'Because of You', and the haunting 'One in a Hundred'. But honestly, there isn’t a bad track on this album. Each song is a gem in its own right, showcasing Clark’s incredible talent as a songwriter and performer.

In a world filled with cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured bands, Gene Clark stands out as a true original. 'White Light' is a timeless classic that deserves a place in every music lover’s collection. Trust me, you won’t regret giving this album a listen.
