He is joined by former "Merry-Go-Round" drummer Joel Larson, Co-founder & former bassist for "Counting Crows" Matt Malley and guitarists Jim Rolfe & Dan Mayer, from "Cody Road"."MJConroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372576965208949072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-50487605152245841222009-06-15T09:59:51.659-04:002009-06-15T09:59:51.659-04:00I'm thrilled to see his old stuff back in prin...I'm thrilled to see his old stuff back in print. I may have to get a copy of this (still have my vinyl copies, though). Poor Emitt got an infamously raw deal from ABC/Dunhill, and has had a rough time of things ever since. I hope this is the first step toward getting him up and recording again.stevesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-52745009934576487672009-06-14T22:52:27.509-04:002009-06-14T22:52:27.509-04:00This set is fantastic.
