Greatness under the radar

Emitt Rhodes – “Promises I’ve Made” (YouTube)

This is the song we’re doing for the tribute album, and this man has such a large collection of classic songs it’s ridiculous that he’s not a superstar.

The McCartney vibe is good enough to ignore, and the songs are great as they are, and even more impressive is that he played it all himself. I really hope that this album sets some light on Mr Rhodes.

If you’re equipped with Spotify you can listen to a sort of greatest hits album: “The Emitt Rhodes Recordings (1969-1973)“.
