About this album

Blowin' is a strong late-70s rock album from The Jess Roden Band, balancing Jess Roden’s soulful vocals with melodic pop songwriting and a hard-working band feel. Issued in 1977, it shows the group leaning into streamlined arrangements and a polished, radio-friendly sound without losing the earthy groove that marked Roden’s best work. The record moves between catchy hooks and tougher rock passages, with highlights such as the title track and The Ballad Of Big Sally underlining the band’s range. For listeners exploring British rock’s more soulful, underappreciated corners, it stands as a rewarding and well-crafted snapshot of the era.
