Customer Reviews of Emitt Rhodes
Time for a Reality Check This is a fine album, especially for completists of 60s Pop Rock, but I think it's overpraised. Let's face it: it's derivative. Emitt Rhodes is very talented, yes, but more as a copyist than a genius. Musically, it's a lot of fun, but as a lyricist, he left a lot to be desired: "You been staying at home when you should be playing, you been dealing all alone when you should be praying" (??) The last minute and a half of "Face to the Floor" is a coda of music played exactly the same way, note for note. Do you think McCartney would do that? And the second half of the CD does not stand up to the first. Don't get me wrong, I like this record and it's well worth owning, but if you want the real unappreciated gem of the 60s, stick with Village Green Preservation Society. IMHO. Thanks.
Creme de la creme
I'm not sanguine about the prospects of Emitt Rhodes ever having become a pop star. He was too good. Labels tend to release singles that represent the lowest common denominator of the artist, to appeal to the widest possible market. What you get is often musical plankton.
I wouldn't care for some of my faviorite artists if all I heard of them was from airplay. Fleetwood Mac would be represented to me by, "Don't Stop" (Thinking about Tomorrow), or is it "Don't Stop" (Thinking about the Democrats)? Three Dog Night, a great pop/rock band, would be known to me only by "Joy to the World", a bubblegum jam. Emitt Rhodes has no such banal hooks. He couldn't stoop to conquer.
What blows my mind is how intelligent,and lyrical, Emitt's music is, especially for his age during the time he had recording contracts. The chorus of "Tame the Lion" has one of the most addictive hooks in pop. His self titled album is a complete gem. How I would like to hear a sampling of his unreleased self recordings from these past thirty years. He did it mostly himself anyway.
Did Paul McCartney ever listen to Emitt Rhodes in the dark? I hope he did.
A True classic!!! Five Stars!!! A+
This album is an absolute classic!!! This is pop music at it's very finest!!! Every song is great and many should have been top ten hits, but that did'nt happen, but who cares? This album is a true classic nonetheless!!! He played every single instrument himself!!! Just like Paul McCartney did!!!(And he sounds a bit like him too!)The song Lullabye from this album was featured in the film "The Royal Tenenbaums!!! A true seventies classic!!! Five Stars!!! A+
