New Gene Clark Tribute CD planned

From Ben Meltzer:

I am initiating a Gene Clark tribute project and am looking for individual investors or labels that can help finance this endeavor. The album will consist of new recordings by established artists of classic songs by Gene Clark from his solo albums and his work with the Byrds and with Dillard & Clark. The tracks will be produced by three-time time Grammy winning producer John Chelew, who has produced four albums for the Blind Boys Of Alabama as well as John Hiatt’s iconic breakthrough album Bring The Family. He has also produced albums by Donovan, Richard Thompson, Vic Chestnut, and Charlie Musselwhite, among others. Anyone wanting information or to help can contact me for more information.
