Idiot MysticHOST
And a scene calling itself love doesn't mean everyone inside it knows how to love.
Idiot MysticHOST
In the next episode, or, well, the next one in this series, whenever I end up getting to it, we move into Gram Parsons, Gene Clark, Steppenwolf, Country Rock, outlaw mythology, and the hangover after the flowers.
Idiot MysticHOST
This is where the dream stops floating and starts looking for a way out.
Idiot MysticHOST
The canyon gets dustier, and the music gets more haunted.
RhettHOST
It's kinda like The, The Birds when they reunited in the 19- 1973, '74.
RhettHOST
Uh, the or- the original five guys, um, got together to, to do a reunion album, and, uh, only Gene Clark showed up with any good songs.
RhettHOST
They were all brand new.
RhettHOST
They were all really good, and the rest of the guys just didn't show up with anything.
DarrenHOST
Mm.
RhettHOST
And so the, the album is like half Gene Clark greatness and then half just like, "Here we are cashing checks," you know? But anyway, I'm-
DarrenHOST
Well-
RhettHOST
... not saying that's the same here, but I did note that Willie brought two songs that make their first appearance on Highwaymen 2.
Charles AustinHOST
Yeah.
Alex NicholsHOST
Like, what is Gene Clark gonna do?
Charles AustinHOST
That song Eight Miles High was about getting thrown off the roof by The Beatles at their rooftop concert.
Alex NicholsHOST
Yeah, people said it was about LSD, but no.
speaker_0HOST
This was before they changed their name to The Byrds and then became famous.
speaker_0HOST
So Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, and David Crosby released this early folk rock single under the Beefeaters.
speaker_0HOST
It was issued by Elektra Records and it didn't actually do anything on the charts.
speaker_0HOST
But it was a song they released before they changed their name and then made history.
BrennanHOST
Before joining Delaney & Bonnie on the road, Gordon was one of the busiest session drummers in the game.
BrennanHOST
During the day, he would drum for Gene Clark and then, like, people like that, like, uh, uh, The Burrito Brothers, all those fucking dudes, and then he would fly to Las Vegas at night to play drums in Wayne Newton's backing band or some other big Las Vegas name, I don't know.
BrennanHOST
And then, like Whitlock and Radle, Jim Gordon was choice selected by Eric Clapton to have his life absolutely ruined.
BrennanHOST
It's not a good end for, uh, Radle and Gordon.
SpinnerHOST
This song was written by Steven Bruton, who came from Texas and has played with many great artists in the music business.
SpinnerHOST
T-Bone Burnett, Bonnie Raitt, Gene Clark, Rita Coolidge, Devil McClinton, Sonny Landreth, Carly Simon, just to name a few.
SpinnerHOST
He died of complications of throat cancer in May of 2009, only 60 years old.
SpinnerHOST
But after he was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, some of his amigos de música suggested that spending time in the studio might be a welcome distraction.
Joe CrowleyGUEST
Yeah, Mickey was booking like Meatloaf and Bo Diddley and some really cool acts.
Joe CrowleyGUEST
I think he booked Gene Clark and the Birds back at the Jumbo, which was pretty interesting to see.
Joe CrowleyGUEST
I didn't know who the hell Gene Clark was.
Joe CrowleyGUEST
And then they started singing Birds tunes.
Joe CrowleyGUEST
I think he played with Matty Indies, whose brother was in Heart, one of the Indies brothers.
DaveHOST
Uh, because, you know, I mean, obviously you know they're good songs because This Mortal Coil b- sing them so well, but a lot of them, uh, kind of do sound different, and it's, and it's a great introduction to some, to some obscure, um, music you never heard of.
DaveHOST
You know, I mean, like Gene Clark-
JakeHOST
Mm
DaveHOST
... uh, formerly of The Byrds.
Beki Brindle-ScalaGUEST
We have, yeah.
Beki Brindle-ScalaGUEST
We did a show with a band called The Grip Weeds and some other people who had played with Gene Clark of The Byrds.
Beki Brindle-ScalaGUEST
He was the main writer of "Eight Miles High," one of the biggest Byrds songs.
Beki Brindle-ScalaGUEST
So we did that together.
Lisa DavisSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
His wife beside him on the road, and in the town they went.
Ryan WenGUEST
He really brings that out in this, a re-imagination of it in a way that kinda reminds me of Gene Clark that, uh, wasn't with The Byrds in 1968, but nonetheless, he seems to be, like, carrying the spirit of Gene Clark in this one, and I really, really dig it.
Jerry QuijanoHOST
Very cool.
Jerry QuijanoHOST
Okay, uh, the next artist on your list is named Bruce, all caps.
