Late Flight For A Great Byrd

Geneclark Collectors’ Choice has ventured into the vaults of the underrecognized heart and soul of the Byrds and a founder of country rock, Gene Clark. Label will release on Oct. 30, a collection of ‘80s and ‘90s recordings titled "Gene Clark With Carla Olson: In Concert."
The first disc in the two-disc package contains seven unreleased tracks from a Clark solo concert recorded for the public radio show "Mountain Stage" and three live tracks from Clark and Carla Olson’s studio album, "So Rebellious a Lover," recorded in Los Angeles and issued in 1986 on Rhino Records.
Second disc the entire Clark and Olson Feb. 3, 1990 performance at McCabe’s Guitar Shop in Santa Monica. It was released overseas on Demon but never in the U.S. Clark and Olson were backed by Duane Jarvis on guitar and David Provost on bass.
Many of the McCabe’s songs were intended for a follow-up studio album that was never to be. Clark and Olson would appear together at the Palomino in North Hollywood, and at the Cinegrill in Hollywood a month before his death in 1991.
As solo artist, Clark created one of the greatest SoCal singer-songwriter albums ever, "White Light."
