Gene Clark (1974) No Other

From his 1974 solo album this masterpiece reminds me if his 1967 work with the Gosdin brothers. It's got grand arrangements like Life's greatest fool a gospel song about how loneliness makes you age. But those the well produced title track with its heavy bass driven sound and prog rock melody driving it. At the centre is Gene Clark's dark melancholic singer songwriter angst. A vivid parable by the most underrated Byrd who always flew solo; there's no other you could mistake this for.
