Recording information: 05/12/1970 - 06/13/1972. Although ROADMASTER has the feel of a completed album, it is actually a collection of top-quality outtakes. It was originally released only in Europe, where Clark's previous album, WHITE LIGHT, had been a critical success. ROADMASTER appeared seven years after Clark left the Byrds and has a laid-back, Sunday morning feel, characterized by Clark's chiming country rock. Beneath the languid rhythms, however, are several songs that rank with Clark's best compositions. Two songs here, "She's The Kind Of Girl" and the lovely "One In A Hundred," feature performances by the original Byrds, while another track, "Full Circle Song," was later included on the Byrds' reunion album. These tunes stand alongside the Byrds' best songs, which is reason enough to explore this excellent, unjustly overlooked album.
Editorial Reviews 3 Stars - Good - ...these melancholy, reflective tunes have a charming fragility and escape the cloying self-regard and heavy-handed production of LA singer-songwriters they prefigure. Q (06/01/1991)
