Emitt Rhodes: The One Man Beatles

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.

He used to pass long periods daydreaming, sometimes of his future exploits to win the heart of one of the noblest women in Spain, and sometimes of repeating the heroic actions of the great saints. He realised that these different thoughts gave rise to different feelings:  while the former often turned to a sense of dissatisfaction, the positive feelings experienced when he imagined performing big exploits for God stayed with him for a long time.

He says that this…
