Ex-Byrd Gene Clark's early-'70s solo efforts, which rank alongside the recordings of the Flying Burrito Brothers and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young in terms of quality, vision, and appeal, have been unjustly overlooked. This is particularly true of NO OTHER, Clark's 1974 coup de grace. While the focus of NO OTHER's excellent predecessors WHITE LIGHT and ROADMASTER was on stripped down, passionate country-rock, NO OTHER pushes Clark's aesthetic to another level entirely. A cadre of female backing vocalists lend gospel-drenched color to the album, taking Clark's excellent compositions to church, and giving the whole a sanctified feel.
Amid the strummed acoustics and weeping pedal steel of songs like "Life's Greatest Fool" and "The True One," there is also the expansive, orchestral feel of "Strength of Strings" which sounds like the Moody Blues by way of the Delta, and the exceptional title track, which encompasses sinuous blues, a light, synthesizer-touched groove, and gospel dreaminess. An unbeatable team of session musicians gives the record a solid backbone, while producer Thomas Jefferson Kaye adds a high gloss that puts NO OTHER with best of radio-ready '70s rock. Still, it is ultimately Clark's unique, superior songwriting and reflective lyrics that make NO OTHER a treasure worth seeking out.

Original artwork with updated liner notes. Warner.Entertainment Weekly (3/14/03, p.67) - "...A missing link between '60s folkie Fred Neil and Beck's SEA CHANGE..." - Rating: A-
Q (11/03, p.127) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...A long-lost gem, this 1974 affair mixes loping rhythms with gospel and funk tinges, innovative studio effects and tastefully extended playing..."

Possibly the best rock album ever. Every song is terrific. Country-rock zen.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 2 of 2 found this helpful. The Best Album Ever? (+++++++)
The bonus tracks on this import make this a much better buy than the domestic (or original) album. Whereas the original album may be among the very best albums ever released, some (apparently including the record label owner, David Geffen)have considered it to be considerably overproduced. But the bonus tracks present an almost complete alternative album, with a much more basic production. The raw, alternate tracks clearly show that the power of the album is in the songs, not in the production. Great album, whichever version you prefer.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Genuine Classic.
This is a truely wonderful album- so sad to think that Gene did not get the aclaim he was due. You can hear the influence in any number of Americana albums since. It was separate from the pack on release, and still sounds timeless. One to keep forever.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No No Other Version Will Do
Buying this import as opposed to the inferior domestic version is money well spent. The alternate takes here are interesting if only to confirm that those who suggest the music was "over-produced" were absolutely wrong. The re-mastering is supurb. If you have not heard this record please be carefull not to judge it by short song samples.
It is truely one of the finest records of all time. Don't miss it.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Amazing album, Gene's best, plus 7 unreleased tracks!
This 1974 album was a complete departure for Gene Clark and it stands as his best album. This import reissue has the best sound, the complete story on the making of this album, 6 completely previously unreleased versions, and, amazingly, a 1974 remake of "Train Leaves Here This Morning", which was on the first Dillard & Clark album! Anyone who loved The Byrds, Gene Clark, or classic 1970's music will love this CD!

No Other CD music
$8.99  
After working his way through loss and chaos on the brilliant TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (recorded in 1973, but not released until 1975), Neil Young deftly exorcised any lingering demons with 1974's ON THE BEACH. The album opens with the saunter of the aptly titled "Walk On," followed by the utterly gorgeous, Wurlitzer-tinged "See the Sky about to Rain."
The set also features a trio of scathing songs--"Revolution Blues," "Vampire Blues," and "Ambulance Blues"--that address issues important to Young, both social and personal. It is good to hear Young back with such bite and vitriol, especially after the broken desperation of TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT. But while ON THE BEACH is edgy and deeply felt, it also manages to sound liberating and relaxed, with ...
| | Gene Clark So Rebellious A Lover CD (1987) Bonus Tracks
No Other music CDs
$13.75 
An exquisite pairing of talent, the duo of Carla Olson and Gene Clark apparently came out of casual living room sessions while Clark was preparing for another project. The feeling of spontaneity and closeness of spirit engulfs all of the cuts here. Olson's strident and powerful vocals mesh beautifully with Clark's slightly world-weary, soulful performances. As for the material, both songwriters obviously put their best foot forward here. Olson's "The Drifter" and "Are We Still Making Love" are excellent country-folk outings. Clark contributes one of his finest later compositions, "Gypsy Rider," a multi-leveled song that can easily be viewed as autobiographical. Excellent support is provided by an array of backing musicians, especially Stephen McCarthy (lap steel and dobro) and guest Chris Hillman (mandolin). Chemistry is the operative word here. The only sad thing is that So Rebellious a Lover was to be the only studio effort by the duo before Clark passed away in 1991. This record is important not only for what it is, but for what it could have become. ~ Matthew ...
| | Faces Five Guys Walk Into A Bar CDs (2004) Remastered; Box Set
No Other songs
$40.19
Released at a time when lead singer Rod Stewart was exploring the Great American Songbook, the music presented on FIVE GUYS WALK INTO A BAR... reinforces the argument that the Faces were one of rock's great overlooked bands. The quintet's ease around a bar never diminished the organic musicianship that found them easily melding their love of rock & roll, blues, and soul.
Fueled by Ron Wood's stellar guitar work, Ian McLagan's fluid keyboard playing, and the rock-solid rhythm section of Ronnie Lane and Kenney Jones, the Faces shared space with Stewart's burgeoning solo career, but still managed to crank out four excellent studio albums in less than six years. Not only are these records all included in their entirety in this four-disc ...

$9.09
Building on the out-of-left-field success of her debut THE CAPTAIN, Kasey Chambers kicks any thought of a sophomore jinx square in the teeth with BARRICADES & BRICKWALLS, yet another fine batch of songs steeped in the sounds of American roots music. The trappings of newfound fame and fortune find the twenty-something Aussie examining it from the inside out (the heartfelt "This Mountain") as well as taking a wistful look back at an innocent childhood spent in the rural Australian outback ("Nullabor Song"). Complementing her introspective lyrics is a raspy twang that falls somewhere between Lucinda Williams (who appears on the high lonesome outing "On A Bad Day") and Iris Dement. All the better for Chambers to yodel her way through the jaunty, Hank Williams-inspired "I'm A Little Bit Lonesome" (featuring Buddy Miller's harmonies) and deliver a spot-on cover of Gram Parsons' "Still Feeling Blue."

No Other album
$17.75
If you never heard Andrea's music this collection of tracks is perfect as a first approach: 14 hot tracks exploring in 72 minutes all his main music styles, offering 3 preview tracks (from the next album "No Ordinary Human TIS").This album is his 6th official work and perhaps represents just a little window over his past.Andrea Priora is a keyboard player, music composer and producer from Italy. With a combination of deep and vibrant melodies, acoustic and synth sounds, powerful rhythms and "mind voyaging" soundscapes he tries to transform his sensations, emotions and dreams into music of various genres: Nu-Ambient, New Age, Electronica, Soundtrack, Dream and Trance.Not bond to one style only, Andrea isn't tipically mainstream, trying to build something deep in music that goes beyond the fashion of the moment.Perhaps Andrea's music is not at all what you can call an "easy listening", but most of people who listen to his music told they have like the sensation of being able to "touch" his music, due to his emotional approach. He has his personal distinctive sound and touch: his main influences can be found among Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, ...
