Emitt Rhodes [VINYL]

‘Emitt Rhodes’ is the second album by Emitt Rhodes, released in 1970. Rhodes recorded the album in his home studio. Rhodes wanted to call the album ‘Homecooking’, but the record label, Dunhill, decided to title it ‘Emitt Rhodes’. Rhodes recorded the instruments on a four-track recorder and then approached Dunhill, who gave him a contract. He transferred the four-track instrumental recordings to an eight-track recorder to add the vocals on the four additional channels (and using a better microphone). The album reached Number 29 on the Billboard album chart. The single ‘Fresh as a Daisy’ reached Number 54 on the Hot 100. Billboard later called the album one of the "best albums of the decade." The song ‘Lullabye’ was featured in the film ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’.
