Book Reviews of Mr. Tambourine Man: The Life and Legacy of The Byrds' Gene Clark

Book Review: Revealing and heartbreaking - Gene Clark
Summary: 5 Stars

You will not read a more heartbreaking book this year. The story of the Byrds' Gene Clark celebrates his unique talents as a singer and songwriter while revealing the emotional/chemical imbalances and addictions which somehow conspired to eventually destroy him. Only 46 when he died, Clark left behind a wonderful and varied body of music. This book has been meticulously researched and written with care and honesty. You feel immense pity for Clark, anger and grief at how he never could quite hold himself together yet also feel sheer admiration for how he always managed to produce beautiful songs and sing with such soul and skill. A sad but gripping story of a troubled but wildly gifted musician and writer. And it makes you want to hear the music. God bless Gene.
