S6 – Ep 32 | 1970 Classics, Emitt Rhodes, Cactus & Kevin's Either/Or Gauntlet

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! Craig and Kevin dig deep into 1970 for this week's picks. Craig spotlights the self-titled solo debut from Emitt Rhodes — a home-recorded, one-man-band pop masterpiece so Beatles/McCartney-adjacent in sound and timing that it remains one of the era's great lost gems. Kevin counters with Cactus, the self-titled debut from the blues-rock supergroup built out of Vanilla Fudge's rhythm section, Amboy Dukes' Rusty Day, and Detroit Wheels guitarist Jim McCarty — a heavy, hard-charging record often cited as a missing link between Cream and early Zeppelin. From there, the guys widen the lens, running through other notable 1970 releases — a year stacked with albums now considered absolute classics. They wrap things up with an improvised round of Either/Or from Kevin, starting with some off-the-cuff topics before diving into a run of classic-album matchups. 📱 Subscribe and/or follow us on your favorite streaming platform.  📩 Got a 1970 favorite we should've mentioned, or an Either/Or matchup you'd love to hear debated?
