Jess Roden
Jess Roden (born 28 December 1947) is an English rock singer, songwriter and guitarist.
Biography
Roden's first band was The Raiders followed by The Shakedown Sound which also included the guitarist, Kevyn Gammond, and keyboard player August Eadon (aka Gus Yeadon).
In 1966, he joined The Alan Bown Set as their new lead singer. Although their records rarely charted, Roden and the band did pick up a considerable fan base in London, and belatedly became a minor star on the Northern soul scene, with the release of their single, "Emergency 999".
He remained with the Alan Bown through to the late 1960s, but left after recording the album The Alan Bown! His vocals were re-recorded by his replacement Robert Palmer for the UK release of the album, although Roden's original vocals remained on the US release. Roden later appeared as a backing vocalist to Palmer on his 1983 appearance on The Tube.
In 1970 Roden returned to Worcestershire and formed Bronco who toured extensively with Island Records' label-mates Traffic, Free, Mott The Hoople, Fotheringay and John Martyn but left after two albums to embark on a solo album. During this period, he also sang on Wildlife, the third Mott the Hoople album, and sang and played on albums by Carol Grimes, Jim Capaldi, Sandy Denny, and sang lead vocals on Keef Hartley's 1973 album Lancashire Hustler.

Drive All Night
by: Joss StoneJust when I thought I put you up
Silly old me, I called too many times
Thought you were about to (???) me up
Here I am getting all messed up by fucking fireside
CHORUS:
Then you drive all night saying what use is the night, when you can't sleep anyway
You might be tired, but the fact to the matter is you're standing right in front of my face
You saved me, saved me from hate, it's so close to love
No one's ever done anything like this for me before
No one's ever drove for miles to make me smile before
I started to worry, do I smell nice?
Like a fool I left my gum on the side
Than I go and kiss you and the follow up from that was whole bunch of nothing
Wondering where you're at
CHORUS
No one's ever done anything like this for me before
No one's ever drove for miles to make me smile before
I'm happy, always grown, at least I can sing a love song
There's no reason to believe the life outside the (???)
I'm glad that I was wrong, I can see that we're high
I can see that we're feeling
