American singer-songwriter and founding member of the folk rock band The Byrds, Gene Clark’s ‘White Light’ is considered as one of the greatest singer/songwriter albums ever made. Clark’s writing, as evidenced on “The Virgin,” the title cut, “For a Spanish Guitar,” “One in a Hundred,” and “With Tomorrow,” reveals a harsh kind of humility in his lines. The focus on the tracks is intense, they are taut and reflect his growing obsession with country music. He shows us the power of one man, one guitar and one harmonica: the essence of American roots music raised to levels that very few reach.
