Einarson gives background on the musicians who, with Clark, would form The Byrds, focusing on their influences and the Folk music scene that brought them together. What emerges is a portrait of a talented, troubled man who was underappreciated as an artist, which Einarson attempts to remedy by stressing Clark's songwriting achievements. The tale spins on through Clark's recording of "Blue Ribbons" at the age of 14 to his move to California in 1963, when he joined the New Christy Minstrels. Einarson devotes several pages to exploring Clark's gene pool, dwelling on the singer's Native American blood. The chatty prose is easy to read, and much of the book is quoted material from interviews with Clark's friends and relatives, who gave detailed accounts of personal relationships and contributed previously unpublished photographs. .

Finally a (terrific) biography of Gene Clark While I was listening to the radio a week ago, I heard the Byrd's, I'm Going to Feel a Whole Lot Better." It was a totally Proustian moment for me, and I was suddenly transported back years to when I first heard that wonderful song. I thought about the handsome singer/ writer who wrote it, and suddenly wanted to find what I could about him, and the Byrds. I found this wonderful book, and read it in one sitting.Gene Clark wrote that tune, and many, many others. He was one of the founding 5 members of the Byrds, a group that was often referred to as the "American Beatles" w. "Don't read this review - read the book." according to Brad Averill. I notice that, as of the time I write this short review, John's biography of Gene Clark gets 5 stars from 6 of 7 reviewers and 1 star from 1 reviewer. Don't let the 1-star review mislead you. He is not really disappointed by the book. He is disappointed by the reality of Gene Clark's life. And that is what this book does an excellent job of conveying. John Einarson goes into the minute details of Gene Clark's life. It wasn't pretty, but the story is compelling. John does not glamourize the rock star life. He doesn't editorialize nor hyperbolize. He simply tells the story.. White Light Gene Clark seemed like a lost soul. One of the guiding lights of The Byrds and the best songwriter/singer in the band, Clark left the band due to ego, conflicts and infighting. Unfortunately, after his soaring success with The Byrds his solo career and later bands never quite took off. John Einarson's terrific biography of Gene features vintage interviews with Clark (he died in 1991), new interviews with his former bandmates, family members and managers to create a picture of a restless creative spirit who clearly wasn't comfortable with the trappings of fame or his own s
