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.
