About a year ago when lost musical treasure Emitt Rhodes was finally releasing new material, I tipped off Record Collector magazine. Great to see the feature finally appear here. Great to see the feature finally appear here. And here’s hoping it sparks an Emitt renaissance. If you don’t know, here’s the skinny. Four albums in four years that pre-date solo Macca or Nilsson. Vulnerable DIY pop with a fleshy beating heart that’s influenced everyone from Gruff Rhys to Brendan Benson to Jason Schwarzmann.
