They Called Him the One Man Beatles. He Was Just Emitt Rhodes.

This week on Pop Rocks Radio, we're featuring the music of Emitt Rhodes, a man who recorded his solo albums entirely by himself, in his home, before anyone knew what that meant. Dubbed the secret alter ego of Paul McCartney. Sued by his own label. Holed up for decades. And absolutely worth your time.Also, great new music from The Rallies, Julez and the Rollerz, and 2nd Grade, plus classics from The Jam and The Keys — and The Merry-Go-Round, Emitt's band before he went solo.Movie of the Week: The One Man Beatles (2009). An Italian director crosses the ocean to find a forgotten American genius. What he finds is complicated, heartbreaking, and completely fascinating.Today's Tracks:The Morning Line- AnhedoniaThe Merry-Go-Round- Gonna Leave You Alone2nd Grade- Cellophane GirlsJoel Cusumano- Buying TimeBleu- I Won't Go HollywoodJulez and the Rollerz- TimeThe Rallies- Comes And GoesUrge Overkill- Take MeTokyo Rose- Phoenician FireTelejet- Here Come the FaeriesEmitt Rhodes- With My Face on the FloorEmitt Rhodes- Really Wanted YouEmitt Rhodes- Live Till You DieTrash Man- Cool Until It's NotGooey Cookie- Gimme The GooGrass Show- AliceSpace Jaguar- Unstack In StaticThe Jam- All Around the WorldThe Keys- I Don't Wanna CryEmitt Rhodes- Dog On A Chain
