BODINE - Bodine (1969) http://bp2.blogger.com/_7pi2v28KCmI/R7mbPvDB4HI/AAAAAAAAANY/Y87jzjqhaOQ/s400/FRONT.jpg
With so much garbage on CD, the fact that this album has not been re-released is a shame. Bodine were a bunch of no-names with skill, but after this album I can't find record of the members doing much. As for this album, it is a good mix of rock, scratchy guitars, country-rock and songwriting talent. The most obvious comparison is Buffalo Springfield, but I've never been able to find their records. That being said, there's only about half an excellent album on here, but man it's a great half. For example, their take on country-rock is pretty good, with the opener "Short-Time Woman" chugging along with strong rhythm guitars. In fact, one thing I can say about this group is that they can lay down a monster beat sometimes. Just listen to "Easy to See", which has to be the best song on here. It just draws you in, and you feel the fun they had in the studio. Otherwise, there are some fine attempts at regular rock ("Into My Life", and the 60s epitaph "Oakland"). "It's Just My Way" is a decent acoustic ballad (with a ridiculous organ solo), and goes on a bit long, but still merits mention. The back side is less strong, with only "Keep Lookin Through Your Window" and its awesome bass line standing out. They even go so far as to do one of those Dylan-impersonation songs ("Disaster"), but it avoids living up to its name. Most of the songs were written by guitarists Steve Lalor and Eric Karl, but you wouldn't know that looking at the album. The group declined to give their last names on the inside photos, as well as which instruments they played. Bassist Kerry Magness used to be in the Kingsmen (y'know "Louie, Louie", but not original lineup) and did session work for the Doors. The other members of were David Brooks on keys (largely superfluous) and Jon Keliehor on drums (partially responsible for the monster beat). Produced by Bill Cowsill, Jr. (of the Cowsills for Pete's sake.) (www.theregents.net/bodine.html) 1. Short Time Woman 2. Oakland 3. Into My Life 4. Travelogue 5. It's Just My Way 6. Easy To See 7.
