VINYL RELICS - Epysode 28: "Emitt Rhodes" by Emitt Rhodes

Epysode 28 "Emitt Rhodes". In this Epysode of Vinyl Relics, we take a deep dive into the 1971 self-titled album by Emitt Rhodes, an often-overlooked masterpiece of the singer-songwriter era. Known for its lush melodies, intricate arrangements and Rhodes' soulful lyrics, this album captures the essence of early '70s pop and folk rock. We’ll explore the stories behind each track, the challenges Emitt Rhodes faced during its creation and how this album remains a timeless example of musical craftsmanship. Join us for a journey into one of the most influential yet underappreciated records of the era. I hope you dig "Emitt Rhodes" as much as I do. -FJ ===LINKS=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting our independent show on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this linky-poo to follow us on Facebook--> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic ...and this one for Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinyl.relics.podcast/ ...and this one for TikTok--> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast ...and this one for BlueSky--> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social ...and find us on X here--> @VinylRelicsPod Email me here--> [e-mail] I used portions of this interview from 2010.
