DILLARD DOUG & GENE CLAR - VINYL 7-WHY NOT YOUR BABY -LTD- [VINYL]

Popis - 7-WHY NOT YOUR BABY -LTD- [VINYL]:
LIMITED EDITION RECORD STORE DAY RELEASE! Both tracks originally NON-LP sides-together here for the first time as a single! Following the '68 release of the groundbreaking album The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark, Gene Clark and Doug Dillard returned to the studio in early '69 to record a new single for A&M. Country-rock was still in its formative stage and was certainly considered a commercial risk. The result was stunning. 'Lyin' Down the Middle' unveiled itself as an infectious, uptempo country rocker, featuring one of Gene Clark's most inspired vocals and further enhanced by future-Eagle Bernie Leadon's supremely tasteful guitar-picking. For a follow-up single release just a few short months later, Dillard & Clark cut the lushly orchestrated Clark composition 'Why Not Your Baby.' Boasting gorgeous harmonies and soaring strings, the recording remains one of the strongest in Clark's repertoire, and one of the finest examples of the sound of country meeting rock. Remarkably, both 'Lyin' Down the Middle' and 'Why Not Your Baby' were issued ONLY as single sides at the time by A&M; they were not included on any original Dillard & Clark album. Proudly presented here from the original A&M mono masters, this re-imagined single reveals Dillard & Clark sailing forefront of the nascent California country-rock movement.
