Very sad to hear about the passing of Emitt Rhodes. His 1970 self-titled LP is one of the greatest power pop albums ever. He was an American McCartney who never found the audience he deserved. But his work is ripe for rediscovery. https://t.co/6MFHEeDb0n

My heart goes out to any and all family and friends of Emitt Rhodes. Emitt was undoubtedly the best ‘one man band’ this world has ever known. I would have given anything to have had the chance to play drums for Emitt…like he wasn’t already one the greatest and most tasteful drummers in the world as well. I did try and had sent him some emails, but to no avail. My favorite song in the world was, and always will be, “Live”. I can’t thank Emitt enough for all the many years of musical enjoyment he has given to me and the world. Rest in peace, Emitt. You more than paid your dues.
Peace and love, eternal.
