The New
Kentucky Colonels’ famous 1973 concert at The Turfschip, Breda (The Netherlands),
which was, until now, only available as an unofficial CDR, has been
released officially by Roland White Music.
For this European tour, The New
Kentucky Colonels were Roland White, Eric White Jr, Clarence
White and Herb Pedersen.
Gene Clark’s
album from 1977 TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY has been re-released at long last,
after years of speculations and broken promises.
This authorized
12”, 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP contains all the song from the original LP,
remastered from the analog master tapes.
It comes
with a full-color LP-sized book with many exclusive photos, an inner sleeve
with photos, lyrics and credits, a download card and an essay about Gene’s
career.
The label
(High Moon Records) plans to release a double CD with bonus tracks. The bonus
tracks are different from those which will be downloadable with the download card.

We've just been informed by one of Byrds Flyght's visitors that David Crosby appears on ex-Eagles DON FELDER's album ROAD TO FOREVER from October 2012.
Never before heard solo demos from the 1970-1971 White Light era!
The Byrds had been America’s answer to The Beatles and topped
the charts with their 1965 debut single, "Mr. Tambourine Man”.
They followed it with a string of folk, and country-influenced songs, many
of them from Gene Clark’s pen, including "I’ll Feel A Whole Lot
Better” covered by Tom Petty on his multi-platinum, classic, Full Moon
Fever. Finding the pressure that came with success too much Clark
suddenly left the Byrds in 1966 and withdrew from the public eye. His
attempt at a solo career later that year was hampered by a reluctance to
tour or fly (earning him the title of "The Byrd who wouldn’t fly”).
Teaming up with banjo demon Doug Dillard in 1968, the Fantastic
Expedition of Dillard & Clark bluegrass albums around Gene’s
well-crafted songs. By early 1970, he left the band, left L.A. for the
open spaces of Little River, Calif., near Mendocino, accompanied by his
girlfriend and soon to be wife, Carlie McCummings.
Away from the pressure of the music business and inspired by the
pastoral beauty of the area, Clark began to write songs that took on a
reflective, introspective direction. His songs became more folky and
stripped down as Clark swore he’d never again play electric guitar.
"There was no deadline”, says McCummings. "He wasn’t under any pressure.
And as a result, the songs just flowed out of him. The lyrics were so
pure. They don’t come out of any manufactured experience.”
Here Tonight: The White Light Demos, offers a glimpse into
the songwriting craft of Clark at the inception of the compositions that
would become his first ’70s solo album, White Light, for A&M Records, released in August of 1971.
Of the tracks, six ("White Light”, "For A Spanish Guitar”, "Where My
Love Lies Asleep”, "The Virgin”, "Because Of You” and "With Tomorrow”)
appeared in final form on White Light. Two ("Opening Day” and
"Winter In”) appeared in final form as bonus tracks on the 2002
A&M / Universal reissue of the album. One track (”Here Tonight”) is an
alternate version of a song that appeared on the Flying Burrito
Brothers compilation Close Up The Honky Tonks. And three songs ("For No
One”, "Please Mr. Freud” and "Jimmy Christ”) have never been issued
previously in any form.
CD Track List:
1. WHITE LIGHT
2. HERE TONIGHT
3. FOR NO ONE
4. FOR A SPANISH GUITAR

6. JIMMY CHRIST
7. WHERE MY LOVE LIES ASLEEP
