Thread Name: What Happened to...Emitt Rhodes?
Subject: What Happened to...Emitt Rhodes?
One guilty pleasure of my youth was an album called "Emitt Rhodes" by Emitt Rhodes. It came out in the middle of the "Paul McCartney is Dead" business, and there were rumours that this was an album of Paul's. One reason is that several of the songs are utterly like early Paul M., which is pretty good! As a Beatle obsessive, I was already addicted to those production values -- he was the only copier I ever liked (until the Rutles).
I had a vinyl copy of the record which wore out, and never saw another. And never heard of him again.
Someone told me they ran across an announcement that this guy was about to release a new album after 30 years! Does anyone have any idea who he was, where he went, etc.?
yours, Peter T.
