I'm hearing things now I never heard before on the original. Andy Belling's electric harpsichord on \"The Radio Song\" occasionally sneaks out front from the mix on the original but here it weaves its way throughout the song and all of the various string instruments throughout are placed on the musical table so cleanly and clearly it's kind of like finally hearing for the first time after all of these years what all of the pickers are doing -not that the original is anything other than also really fine sounding...just not like this! The bass lines are cleaner and dig deeper and the vocal harmonies are laid out more cleanly than ever and with greater authority. If you are familiar with this record you'll be astonished.\" — Music = 10\/11; Sound = 9\/11 — Michael Fremer,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrackingAngle.com\u003c\/em\u003e. To read Fremer's full review, click\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/trackingangle.com\/music\/intervention-reissues-the-short-but-fantastic-expedition-of-dillard-and-clark\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Fantastic Expedition of Dillard \u0026amp; Clark\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis one of the first, inarguable classics of country rock ... a work rooted in tradition while reveling in freedom and new ideas and making the most of them all!\" —\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIntervention Records is thrilled to announce the latest addition to its (Re)Discover Series, a 180-gram LP of\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Fantastic Expedition of Dillard \u0026amp; Clark\u003c\/em\u003e, featuring singer-songwriter Gene Clark and banjo genius Doug Dillard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat a time 1968 was for the burgeoning country rock scene!
