Jodo was a short‑lived but powerful British Hard-Rock band from the early 70s with connections to Deep Purple, Green Bullfrog, Jasper, Killing Floor…
Featuring the ace guitar playing of Rod Alexander plus two lead singers – one white (Bill Kimber) – one black (Earl Jordan) – their music blended Heavy-Rock, Blues and proto-Metal.
In 1971 they released their sole self-titled album, produced in London by Derek Lawrence (Deep Purple, Wishbone Ash…) and engineered by Martin Birch (Black Sabbath, B.O.C…).
For some strange reason, the album never saw a UK release, being available only in the US and New Zealand and housed in a cryptic packaging — the cover shows a man with a bicycle, without band photos or band details.
