Jim Rodford played bass guitar and sang harmony vocals for many top acts from the 1960's onwards. He was known for his personal modesty and for his outstanding musicianship - a classic 'sideman'.

JPGR&B SUBS 18th Aug 2021		Review Review on Amazon by Mike Southon, 17 August 2021. I was thrilled to be the editor on this book, bringing Jim Rodford’s story to life. Jim was one of the most respected and best loved bass players in the world - his credits cover Argent, The Kinks, The Zombies and 100 other bands For this project, I was able to interview many of his colleagues from the 60s in The Mike Cotton Sound. Jim’s almost first gig with the band was in The Beatles Christmas Show of 1964, which also included The Yardbirds, Freddie and the Dreamers and Elkie Brooks. From his band members I heard tales of gigging seven days a week in an era before mobile phones or motorways - we will never see times like that again! This is a beautifully printed book with many colour pictures, bringing to life Jim’s life and times, and is an essential read for lovers of good music 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
