From 1970, and what ultimately became the Gene Clark album Roadmaster, please enjoy all five members of the original Byrds and a single that should have been huge -- "One in a Hundred."
Okay, that's sort of my definition of gorgeous. And it's no secret that I've spent most of my adult life as an attempted artist trying to chase that sound.
Kind of like a punk twit from New Jersey version of Moby Dick, now that I think of it. 😎
Sounds exactly like a track from the first two Byrds albums. A very, very good track from the first two Byrds albums.

I have No Other and play it often, but not Roadmaster. That needs to be corrected based on this lovely track.

Roadmaster is wonderful. If memory serves, it also has another track with all five original Byrds, which is as good as the above. The title escapes me, however.
Deletethis was new to me, and a great pleasure to listen to - the title is a bit mysterious to me - the closest the lyrics get to it is "you can see that you can be more than one"
ReplyDeletethe song suggested something to me, which reading gene clark's Wikipedia bio confirmed - speaking as someone with depressive tendencies, with periods in my past life of excessive self-medication, I see some similarities between myself and him - through a combination of chance and circumstance, and quite a bit of help, i've made it to "old", unlike gene - may peace be with him and those who loved him - his music remains among us
Steve - The other ROADMASTER track featuring the five original Byrds is "She's The Kind Of Girl".
ReplyDeleteYes!!! Thank you.
DeleteGene Clark is my favorite Byrd next to Chris Hillman. Saw them onstage with Roger in 1978.
ReplyDeleteI prefer Gene's solo version:

thanks for posting
ReplyDeleteThe five original Byrds also appear on a (jazzy) track called "My New Woman" on Roger McGuinn's self-titled first solo album, released in 1973.
ReplyDeleteOkay, that one I had no idea about. Wow.
DeleteWell, did a Clark discography -
ReplyDeleteHonestly this song didn't ring for me.
I did hear some of his work with Dillard & Clark - an amalgam of Burrito's and Country.
One thing I was surprised to read, he sang backup vocals for "Cowgirl in the Sand"
