Emitt Rhodes - Emitt Rhodes Recordings 1969-1973

Two CDs. Emitt Rhodes first came to prominence with the US sixties group The Merry-Go-Round who made one self-titled album for A&M Records in 1967. To the extent that he is known at all, Emitt is usually described as a "lost" treasure for fans of beautifully-crafted, melodic pop. This set features American Dream, his debut solo album eponymously titled Emitt Rhodes, Mirror, Farewell To Paradise plus the non-album single "Tame The Lion". Billboard called Emitt one of the finest artists on the music scene and his 1969 debut as one of the "best albums of the decade". This collection is so gorgeous, well written and well performed and produced that it is hard to believe how obscure stayed since it's creation.
