The latest track to be streamed from the 'Hidden Masters' anthology is a Jim Capaldi/Steve Winwood composition that was recorded by Jess Roden in June 1974. The song is called 'Let Me Make Something in Your Life' and according to Jess himself, it was recorded at Muscle Shoals with the resident musicians providing the backing. Collectively they were known as 'The Swampers' but individually were Roger Hawkins - drums, Barry Beckett - piano, Jimmy Johnson - guitar, Spooner Oldham - Hammond organ, Pete Carr - guitar, Ronnie Eades - baritone sax, Charlie Rose - trombone, Harrison Callowa - trumpet, Harvey Thompson - sax and David Hood - bass.
Incidentally it is pure coincidence that a few posts back I should have been talking about Patterson Hood of the Drive-By Truckers, because his dad is David Hood from the above session.
While this song was recorded by Jim Capaldi and featured on the first solo album by Steve Winwood, this particular version by Jess never saw the light of day - until now of course, as it will feature in the forthcoming anthology.
For more on the Jess Roden 6 CD anthology see previous posts from 31 October, 12 November and 23 November.
More on this subject in due course.
