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.
