Press Quotes

Subtitled 'A Progressive Country Anthology', this excellent set might be noteworthy solely for its brace of rootsy - and rare - 1969 cuts from The Everly Brothers. But the presence of four won't-find-'em-anywhere-else tracks from The Byrds' preternaturally talented guitarist Clarence White - recorded in June 1973, just two weeks before his death - have given Silver Meteor elevated status in country rock circles. After The Byrds' dissolution in late '72, White secured a solo deal with Warners, and set about pioneering a startling brand of bluegrass and rock with fiddler Byron Berline, guitarist Herb Pederson and mandolin ace (and brother) Roland White. The results - including 'Why You Been Gone So Long' with Ry Cooder on slide - are consistently astonishing, and hint all-too-briefly at the directions '70s country might have taken.
