FI welcomes Obscure Pop Sleuth and all around swell guy David Singer for a guest post today, as a follow-up to yesterday's Beatles post
Listen to this song. Would you believe that it isn't Paul McCartney? It's actually Decatur, IL's favorite son Emitt Rhodes, who had a couple of minor hits and then disappeared. The long and interesting story is here.
Luke Singer hipped me to his stuff, and I've managed to BitTorrent his second record, 1971's The American Dream. Great songs, amazing arrangement. He had a song on the soundtrack of The Royal Tenenbaums too - Wes Anderson is cooler than all of us.
The internet hasn't just leveled the playing field between majors and indies, but also between new music and old music - 10 years ago, I never would have been able to find this.....
Emitt Rhodes - "Holly Park"
