Sellout's Steal of the Week: Emitt Rhodes


A few years ago I read about Emitt Rhodes in TapeOp. It seems Mr. Rhodes released a solo record in 1970 that was rumored, at the time, to be a certain Macca's debut solo record. Anyway, reading about made me curious to hear it, so I ventured out to Anthro-pop to see about ordering a Japanese import or whatever was available.

While waiting for Rod, I flipped through the "new arrivals" bin, and discovered two (2!) LPs by the man himself... Synchronicity? Divine Providence? Mere Coincidence?

Who knows. In any case, I bought both records for $10, and promptly listened to the first many many times. Then I had Red Chuck transfer the album to CD. Here, for your listening pleasure, is track one.

dig it. you can record with him. Albeit to ADAT, and with his beloved Takamine, which he claims is much better than his old Martin (which he sold).

Studio info is here.

I picked up still-wrapped copy of Mirror when I was in Nashville last month. At that store that has nothing in stock after 1989. I also have American Dream; still haven't found the self-titled yet. Bought American Dream from Rod, too.

What an amazingly low profile for such a horribly talented artist.
