Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark by Gene Clark / Dillard & Clark / Doug Dillard
(0 Ratings)
Album Favorite

"This well known 1968 album is a pun on the fantastic expedition of Lewis and Clark, the famous leaders of the USA's 'Corps of Discovery' who were the first east coast Americans to successfully negotiate the north west passage to the Pacific Ocean in the early 19th century. Of course this ties in beautifully to the John Evans story featured in American Interior - Lewis and Clark used the maps he created between 1795-7 (whilst searching for a mythical tribe of Welsh speaking First Nation Americans) for the first year of their expedition. There's a keen sense of the rhythm of exploration on this fantastic record. Dillard's peerless banjo picking could easily power a steam boat up the Missouri River and Clark's melancholic musings on songs like 'Train Leaves Here This Morning' give a clear sense of long distance travel and loss. Meanwhile a team of proto Country Rock greats including Bernie Leadon, Sneaky Pete and Chris Hillman play away busily in the background, setting the benchmark for the mellow mountain sound that would dominate the airwaves the world over in the following years."

does what its supposed to!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

10 erotic-themed stories including BDSM, cuckold, threesomes and infidelity.

That is what the blurb says, and that is what you get!

These stories are short and steamy and sexy and they all come with a bit of a twist. I didn't see them coming with the first few but after that, I took to seeing what that twist would be and mostly? I was wrong!

The only thing is, I know they were short, it says the book is 60 odd pages and for ten stories in those 60 odd pages, they have got to be short. And for ME, they were just a tad TOO short, you know? I was just getting into the tale, and boom, its done.

I found them steamy enough, without being too over the top. The steam level I would put at 4 out 5.

BUT!

For delivering exactly what it says on the tin, and giving me a delightful, sexy read between 2 much longer, heavier books...

TAKING KINSLEY is about two best friends who have been attracted to each other for over a decade and yet have never made a move.

This is a long book and, as such, it seems to take quite some time for anything to happen with any part of the story. Personally, I feel this should be tightened up as it did seem to drag in places. When Kinsley and Luke are actually together, the steam is high, but the constant mis- or non-communication makes it a little stagnant.

Told mainly from Luke's point of view, you nevertheless have Kinsley butting in for a paragraph or two before it reverting back to Luke with no clear way of seeing who it is actually speaking.

On the whole, this was a good story but is in need of editing to tighten it up and sort out those pesky spelling errors.
