The Spar Record Company of Nashville, Tennessee was founded in 1961 by veteran record men William Beasley, Alan Bubis and Reynold Bubis. They launched the Spar imprint as a standard independent label that would be serviced to radio stations and would strive to have hit records. Texan native Johnny Elgin was brought in to run the Country sessions, soon became a songwriter along with A&R man Jerry Foster and formed the prolific Nasville Country Jamboree in the mid-sixties. The Nashville Country Jamboree featured the cream of the crop of Nashville's studio musicians of the day (many would go on to become country-rock legends with the Area Code 615 Band and Barefoot Jerry) and the singers, songs and performances were all top notch. This was the best that Nashville had to offer, and it's high time that The Nashville Country Jamboree was recognized for their contribution to the musical genre that would come to be known as Country-Rock.Read all about this album here:

BONUS-
GENE CLARK - White Light (1971) (2002 Bonus Edition w/Extra Tracks)
http://www70.zippyshare.com/v/7165108/file.html
Gene Clark's 1971 platter, with its stark black cover featuring his silhouette illuminated by the sun, was dubbed White Light -- though the words never appear on the cover -- and if ever a title fit a record, it's this one. Over its nine original tracks, it has established itself as one of the greatest singer/songwriter albums ever made. After leaving the Byrds in 1966, recording with the Gosdin Brothers, and breaking up the Dillard & Clark group that was a pioneering country-rock outfit, Clark took time to hone his songwriting to its barest essentials. The focus on these tracks is intense, they are taut and reflect his growing obsession with country music. Produced by the late guitarist Jesse Ed Davis (who also worked with Taj Mahal, Leon Russell, Link Wray, and poet John Trudell, among others), Clark took his songs to his new label with confidence and they supported him. The band is comprised of Flying Burrito Brothers' bassist Chris Ethridge, the then-Steve Miller Band-pianist (and future jazz great) Ben Sidran, organist Michael Utley, and drummer Gary Mallaber. Clark's writing, as evidenced on "The Virgin," the title cut, "For a Spanish Guitar," "One in a Hundred," and "With Tomorrow," reveals a stark kind of simplicity in his lines. Using melodies mutated out of country, and revealing that he was the original poet and architect of the Byrds' sound on White Light, Clark created a wide open set of tracks that are at once full of space, a rugged gentility, and are harrowingly intimate in places. His reading of Bob Dylan's "Tears of Rage," towards the end of the record rivals, if not eclipses, the Band's. Less wrecked and ravaged, Clark's song is more a bewildered tome of resignation to a present and future in the abyss. Now this is classic rock. (Thom Jurek, Allmusic)
What a treat! Never even heard of these guys as a group, but I know them all as "615" and many other projects. Thanks so much!
