Everything Gene Clark does inevitably has something magical, and this is no accident when we consider that we are facing what would later become one of the most talented songwriters of all time. 'So Rebellious A Lover' was released in 1987, recorded during a controversial phase of his life when he still struggled to shake off that damned drug addiction. On the album, Gene Clark is accompanied by Carla Olson in a series of catchy songs and melodies with a typically country-folk sound and atmosphere, all played with that distinct 'taste' typical of Gene Clark, or, if you prefer, the Byrds. Critics seem to have received it without much enthusiasm, but in reality, we are looking at a little gem that is absolutely worth rediscovering.
