Description:The Americana Album That Started It All. Newly Remastered With 8 Bonus Tracks. 2 Tracks Never Before On CD. "It Is Generally Agreed That "So Rebellious A Lover" Was The First Americana Album. Before SRAL albums and artists were referred to as country rock, or acoustic or folk." All Music Guide "A sinewy and exquisitely polished jewel of folk/country that is driven by an abiding sense of care. A record for all times." New York Times. 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). 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. -
"SO Rebellious a Lover" is a remarkable collaborative album by Gene Clark and Carla Olson, now available in CD format from Sunset Blvd Records. This release captures the unique synergy between two influential figures of American music: Gene Clark, co-founder of The Byrds and pioneer of folk-rock, and Carla Olson, acclaimed singer-songwriter known for her work with The Textones. Originally released in 1987, the album blends heartfelt songwriting with rootsy Americana sounds, featuring standout tracks like "Gypsy Rider" and "Del Gato." Sunset Blvd Records is renowned for its dedication to preserving classic recordings and reissuing significant works from legendary artists across genres. With this edition, listeners can rediscover an essential piece of musical history that highlights both artists' enduring legacies.
