Gene Clark S/D, C/D

I referred to this one in passing, on my Nashvlle Scene ballot re '08: (Clark's Silverado Live... is pretty decent West Coast country rock etc, pretty spare musically, tho couple of songs have some kind of purple rants in their baggy pants)(also a couple of co-writes with founding Flying Burrito/Eagle Bernie Leadon, from when the Eagles were better).
2018 ballot let notebook scribbles stand:
girlfriend fleeing a guy “knows next time he’ll do what
he’s said he will”,
“sometimes I see her face”: for series of sessions
just now released
as Gene Clark Sings For You, he hired good musos,
but yeesh intensely broody verbose sub-D ritualistic “folk”
/folk-rock. No a few might work in another context,
one w out so much autodepresso drone of self-absorption and terrible lines
(people lookin for a place called Somewhere, fake tributes to a
strong woman when he’s really just into his own depression-
rejection etc.) But “Yesterday Am I Right” with some lyric edits
and maybe a few others toward the end incl. levels of proficiency going to
waste and kinda making the bad stuff worse by carrying it
along pushing in some cases

I find Clark's lyrics so vague and hard to parse that they wouldn't be the criterion I'd use to reject one of his songs. I thought Sings For You was exceptionally strong for a left-over set of demoes.

I mean it was genuinely good, and EXCEPTIONALLY good for a bunch of leftovers.

lyrics of “strength of strings” are bizarre and awesome

And allude to Dylan
