The Clark Family Experience is the self-titled debut album of the American country music band The Clark Family Experience. Released in 2002, it is also their only album, as they filed for bankruptcy later in 2002 and disbanded soon afterward. The album's lead-off single "Meanwhile Back at the Ranch" was a Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts in 2001. Also released from this album were "Standin' Still", "To Quote Shakespeare", and "Going Away", all of which charted on the country charts as well.
