Bodine - Bodine

All Music Guide

Bodine's good-time rock roll debut is a combination of the Rockets (pre-Crazy Horse) and a heavy dose of Poco. Produced by Bill Cowsill of all people, the sound of the record veers from slightly squeaky-clean country-rock to some of the heavier rock sounds of the early '70s. The group itself is a fine little rock band, and the songwriting is also more than adequate. Where they fall short, however, is in the area of vocals. They occasionally tend to try to do some "big" country harmonies, with mixed results. In the end, though, it certainly is a promising debut album, and makes you wonder what happened to them after this.
