Jess Roden (born 28 December 1947) is an English rock singer, songwriter and guitarist.
Roden's first band was The Raiders followed by The Shakedown Sound which also included the guitarist Kevyn Gammond.[1] He remained with the Alan Bown through the late 1960s, but left after recording the album The Alan Bown! His vocals were re-recorded by his replacement Robert Palmer for the UK release of the album, although Roden's original vocals remained on the US release.[2]
During the winter of 2009, deep archive research began into a full-scale anthology – designed to encompass Roden's entire musical career. During this process, well over 800 pieces of music were logged (and in the vast majority of instances, digitised for the first time) from which a career-defining anthology has been compiled. The set, Hidden Masters: The Jess Roden Anthology – which includes over 50% of previously unheard material – was issued as a limited edition, first pressing of 950 copies, 6-CD set by Hidden Masters in 2013.[3]
