2003 - The Gosdins were no strangers to country-rock in 1968. The prior year the two contributed harmony vocals and guitar to Gene Clark’s exquisite masterpiece, Gene Clark and the Gosdin Brothers. They had also released some great singles that were caught between the earlier Byrdsian folk-rock sound and a new, emerging country-rock scene (check out THERE MUST BE SOMEONE or I’LL LIVE TODAY). With a rootsy style, hip songs, and harmonies of pure heartbreak, Vern and Rex Gosdin were unwitting country rock pioneers, as evidenced by their lone album, the fabulous "Sounds Of Goodbye". This, its first-ever reissue, compiles the duos 1966-68 sessions, including the country hit 'Hangin' On', rare folk-rock singles, and some stunning outtakes, upon which the Gosdins' are backed by the Byrds, and Clarence White and the Bakersfield International gang.
