The SKYDIGGERS announce “HERE WITHOUT YOU – THE SONGS OF GENE CLARK”, iconic Toronto band interpret the work of the Byrds songwriter for a new tribute album, due out 13th May, via Latent Recordings “EIGHT MILES HIGH” On the Skydiggers’ latest album, one of Canada’s most treasured bands interprets the work of one of the world’s most treasured songwriters. An eight song collection which covers, and in some cases radically reinvents, such timeless Gene Clark compositions as The Byrds’ classics “Eight Miles High” and “Feel A Whole Lot Better” in the JUNO Award winning Skydiggers’ equally timeless folk pop style. Delivered in a stark, haunting manner, the intimate album was recorded by Michael Timmins (Cowboy Junkies), who serves as producer.
“It seems like we’ve been fans of the Byrds forever, so to say that we’ve just discovered Gene Clark’s songwriting contributions to the band makes it seem like he’s been hiding in plain sight all of these years. In this discovery we have made a connection to our roots; not just to the roots of folk rock and the Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, or Gene Clark.
