why don't you all do yourselves a favor and download Gene Clark's Tried So Hard. It's Kevin'x Trax Pix of 2006, not because it was released then but because i heard it then and it fucking rules. I burned the whole album to a cd, but I can't usually get past this song because I have to keep replaying it. If anything, you've heard Yo La Tengo's cover of this song on Fakebook, which I'd known about for years, but it was not until last year that I discovered the majesty of the original.

For your information, Gene Clark was in the Byrds from '65 to mid '66, when he quit because he was afraid to fly in a plane. Apparently the split was friendly enough, because he drafted most of the group, in addition to the Gosdin Brothers, to record his first solo album, which is better a million than anything that either the Gosdins or the Byrds recorded. Do it.
