Background notes

Archive material and source history

Emitt Rhodes was born in Decatur, Illinois in 1950. He formed his first band, The Emeralds, at age 14, and their homemade recordings got them signed to A&M Records in 1967. His self-titled debut album came out in 1970.

His song 'With My Face on the Floor' has a particular emotional weight that stuck with listeners. Other tracks like 'Fresh as a Daisy' and 'Promises I've Made' show his knack for melody. He recorded a few more albums in the early 1970s, including 'The American Dream' and 'Farewell to Paradise', before stepping back from the spotlight.

For a long time after that, his music was mostly known to collectors and a small group of fans. He worked as a session musician and producer. Compilations like 'Reflections' and 'The Lost Tapes' helped keep his songs in circulation.
