Great Emitt Rhodes album, @bslon! Emitt wrote, played, and sang every note on his debut, a perfect album. I was in the band hand-picked to back Emitt when in 1997 he played his first live show in a quarter century. We performed only six songs, including "Live Till You Die" off the debut. I suggested "Fresh As A Daisy" (a glorious Pop masterpiece of a song, easily the equal of anything by Lennon & McCartney, approaching Brian Wilson quality), but Emitt felt it didn't fit the set. |
@bdp24 I agree on your perfect album comment, there isn’t a bad song on it. I also agree with your comparison of him to McCartney, especially regarding this recording. Very cool you performed with him, what an experience! |
I too have the Emitt Rhodes album, having purchased it when it first released. I don't know anyone who even heard of him other than from this group of music lovers. Very cool that bdp24 played with Emitt, live on stage. Good for you! Manfred Mann - The Roaring Silence I sure wish it was done in audiophile SQ. But still, very good, nonetheless. Procol Harum - Broken Barricades I just love this album. |
Today I listened to... Manfred Mann - Watch This album has a better SQ than my copy of Roaring Silence. Both are excellent music. Frank Zappa - Over-Nite Sensation I bought this new in 1973 and it is still in perfect condition. Great music and a great recording. Love it!
