Gene Clark (1977) Hear the Wind - LOST 70s GEMS

From 1977's Two Sides to Every Story, a latter day effort from tragic Byrds founder Gene Clark that was one of his deepest efforts. His sombre baritone delivers a slightly whimsical ballad draped in pedal steel and other hallmarks of country gospel ballads, his chorus of 'hearing the wind as it cries' is beautifully sung but the bridge of 'But if this world has redemption is soulful with the backing falsetto oohs making it sound so strong. Also the lyric line about 'Put your head on my shoulder dry the tears from your eye' is another such soft sentiment that he delivers with such intent that it sounds fresh.
