What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



First heard this guy and could have swore I was listening to Mac. And the music even sounded
just like post-Beatles Paul. Emitt Rhodes is from Illinois and started with a group called The
Merry Go Rounds in the late 60's, and had a contract with A&M Records. Doesn't say how that
came about. Had minor success with his debut album, and this is the rushed follow up, which is
not as good. The man only lasted for four albums before switching to the studio technical side
of the industry. On both his debut, and this album, Emitt plays all instruments and does all
vocals. And it's a full band sound, so the guy had to have been fast, to get around to all the
instruments. Maybe he just got tired after four albums.
