"Tried So Hard"

"Tried So Hard"
Explored! Thank you very much :-)

If I can find a tenuous link, any tenuous link, to use with a Gene Clark track I will :-)))

So, when Helen and I were in Stowe Landscape Gardens on 6 November I thought I would 'try so hard' not to take another photo of the Palladian Bridge and the Gothic Temple. But, temptation got the better of me and I can now link my photo to "Tried So Hard" written by Gene Clark. It features on the 1967 album "Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers". The lead guitar player on this track is the late, great Clarence White.

I would fully recommend the 2013 'Four Suns Productions' feature length documentary, 'The Byrd Who Flew Alone' exploring the life and work of Gene Clark. In my opinion it is absolutely the best ever music documentary.

Nouchetdu38, Claudine Gaulier-Denis, Helena Ferreira, Roger (Grisly) and 12 other people have particularly liked this photo

Lol. You sure are good at these "tenuous" links, Roger. :)

What a splendid image you almost wound up not taking. ;-) I love how my eye is just drawn right up the hill past the little sheep. Really wonderful!

I am liking this song but I am not surprised at all. Thanks for another "Gem from Gene." :)

...and that sounds like a great documentary. I'll have to see if I can find it on Netflix.

Thanks so very much, Karen :-) Hope you can find Gene's documentary on Netflix. It is such a rollercoaster of happiness, sadness and I shed quite a few tears.
I don't use Netflix so I bought the DVD direct from the filmmakers -

Unfortunately I can't find it to watch anywhere so I appreciate that link, Roger. I watched all the clips and I'm hooked now. Maybe Santa can bring it for Christmas. ;-)
