BODKIN were a
Scottish quintet that released a self-titled album in 1972. They made a
classic-sounding, rough-edged heavy progressive rock with the emphasis
on Doug Rome's Hammond organ and complimented by Mick Riddle's guitar,
Bill Anderson's bass, Dick Sneddon on drums and the cool wailing of Zeik
Hume.Somewhat more jam-oriented than contemporaries such as ATOMIC
ROOSTER or URIAH HEEP and not quite as hard-hitting, BODKIN nevertheless
delivered spirited rock music with energetic interplay between guitar
and organ, fine musicianship, and distractingly good compositions from
the 21 year-old Doug Rome. A very palatable blend of dark organ-rock and
dirty blues, Bodkin will surely please listeners interested in the
murky and mysterious early years of the Heavy Prog scene and anyone
seeking rare prog. Line-up / Musicians Mick Riddel/guitar Doug Rome/Hammond organ Dick Sneddon/drums Bill Anderson/bass Zeik Hume/vocals Discography Bodkin 1972
