Dillard & Clark - The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark (1968) Byrds man Gene Clark pairs up with Doug Dillard of The Dillards (a band I’ve admittedly never listened to) for an excellent bluegrassy country rock album. And I don’t even like banjos! But damn it Gene Clark can write a tune—and sing like No Other. • #dillardandclark #geneclark #dougdillard #thefantasticexpeditionofdillardandclark #AandMrecords #nowplaying #nowspinning #nowlistening #vinyl #vinyligclub #instavinyl #vinylporn #vinylgram #vinylcollection #LP #recordcollection #musiccollection #vinylcommunity #ontheturntable #onmyturntable #albumcover #album #albumart #countryrock #bluegrass #folkrock #1968 #60s https://www.instagram.com/p/BtyyLLOgtfh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mth56bknhwk4

The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard and Clark, 1968 A&M records On Gene's follow up to Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers, he teams up with banjo player Doug Dillard, future Eagle Bernie Leadon, David Jackson, Don Beck and Joel Larson. Chris Hillman provides the mandolin on some tracks I've always thought of this as what a country album would have sounded like if The Beatles had done one. Beautiful songs, harmonies and an interesting and unique blend of instruments. #GeneClark #GetGeneIn #GeneClark50 #singersongwriter #SongwritersHoF #countryrock #folkrock #bluegrass #DillardandClark #discography #1968 #album #vinyl #dougdillard #bernieleadon

Though The Morning Through The Night, Dillard and Clark, 1969 A&M The follow up album to The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard and Clark had a different feel to it due to some personnel changes. Most notably the addition of singer Donna Washburn and fiddle player Byron Berline. The album took on more of a bluegrass feel and lost some of the uniqueness of the previous one. There were also more cover songs on this album, but two of Gene's originals, 'Polly' and the title track 'Through The Morning Through The Night' are among some of his finest. These songs were also covered by Robert Plant & Alison Krauss on their 2007 Grammy Award winning album Raising Sand. #GeneClark #GetGeneIn #GeneClark50 #singersongwriter #SongwritersHoF #countryrock #folkrock #bluegrass #DillardandClark #discography #album #vinyl #1969
