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.
Roadmaster is a collection of various Gene Clark recordings after leaving The Byrds, all the original Byrds are present on three tracks.

Q (6/91) - 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." Gene Clark Roadmaster Songs | 1. | She's the Kind of Girl | |

Roadmaster Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   It does get better......
My opinion of Gene Clark's post-Byrds work (whether it be solo or w/ Dillard & Clark), is that the best songs sound most like the Byrds (melody-wise). I know this sound simplistic, but listen to Roadmaster. The first 2 songs are great (and most Byrds-like), but then it's somewhat downhill form there. Nothing awful...but nothing transcendent (that's what some of his fans say). The reworking of She Don't Care About Time is kinda pointless.

Long Lost Byrds
This is an excellent, long lost Byrds album. The first two songs feature the original quintet in classic form. Track 3 features an excellent Flying Burrito Brothers (with Hillman, Clarke, & Sneaky Pete) backing. The rest was recorded with Hillman, Clarke, Clarence White, Sneaky Pete, and Byron Berline. Far superior to the 73' Byrds reunion album. In fact, one of the Byrds' absolute best.

This is truly staggering music. You can have yer Flying Burrito Bros. if you want, but to my mind this stuff outclasses it. Check out "One In a Hundred," featuring all five original Byrds--one of the most beautiful things you could ever want to hear.

| | Harold Mabern Few Miles From Memphis CD (1968)
Roadmaster songs
$14.15
On A Few Miles from Memphis, recorded by pianist Harold Mabern in 1968, he's joined by tenors George Coleman and Buddy Terry, bassist Bill Lee, and drummer Walter Perkins for a bluesy, rhythm-filled set featuring familiar fare like "A Treat for Bea" and fun originals like "Walkin' Back." There's also the odd inclusion of "There's a Kind of Hush," a pop song that comes out sounding like an old standard here. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.
When record labels like Prestige release two albums on one CD, it's a great bargain for music fans. A Few Miles from Memphis combines the album of the same name and Rakin' and Scrapin', both recorded by pianist Harold Mabern in 1968. On the first set ...

Raven's 2006 two-fer Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good combines two of Ike & Tina Turner's last albums together and adds five bonus tracks, three of which were taken from other Ike & Tina albums from the early '70s, one taken from a Tina solo record, and one disco mix of "Nutbush City Limits." The album that arrives first on this two-fer was actually the last of these two to be released: Nutbush City Limits appeared in 1973, a year after Feel Good, but its title track is one ...

| | Donovan's Brain Great Leap Forward CD (2003)
Roadmaster album
$12.85
Tiny Crustacean Light Show was a rock & roll album gone psychedelic. The Great Leap Forward works the other way around, but still focuses on tightly written songs. Still a large family, this time around the core of Donovan's Brain consists of Ron Sanchez (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Colter Langan (guitar, vocals), David Walker (vocals), and two newcomers: bassist Jeffrey Arntsen and drummer Ron Craighead. Guitarist Richard Treece and drummer Seth Lyon, two pillars of previous incarnations of the Brain, are heard on four cuts. Compared to the previous three CDs, this one feels like a genuine group effort. Songwriting credits are split among Sanchez, Langan, and Arntsen, but more importantly the music has the polish of careful compromise and the pooling of many points of views. The album kicks off with two mischievous winks. "Neuro Psych Trail Head" heads dangerously into the Rolling Stones' "Let's Spend the Night Together" while developing its own tune. "Crystal Palace" begins with a direct quote from the Beatles' "And I Love Her." Now that the two giants have been acknowledged, Donovan's Brain can tread its own path. "Cloud Maker" is a very nice psych rocker the likes of the Bevis Frond or Ebeling Hughes. The collective improvisation "Loving Indifference" wraps up the first half. The second half is somewhat dreamier, "The Known Sea" and "Ocean of Storms" providing moments of slow-tempo bliss -- in the latter, Walker adopts Richie Havens' low crooning voice. Less punchy and immediately likable than the previous album, this one requires more of an effort from the listener without providing more rewards, but it remains a good entry in the group's discography. ~ François Couture
Career Records is very pleased to announce the release of the fourth and most demanding album from the startling musical collective Donovan's Brain. Appropriately titled "The Great Leap Forward", the gravity of the new songs was strong enough to affect the album that proceeded it and the one that will follow. One of the first songs recorded for the album, "Nuro Psych Trail Head" is an invitation to the listener and the members of the band to prepare for the journey that lies ahead. The album quickly takes a darker tone on "Crystal Palace" a song appropriated from bassist Jeff Arntsen's band Racket Ship. Megan Pickerel (ex-Swoon 23) duets with Jeff and adds the e-bow textures. Colter Langan's compositions on this ...
