RhodeSongs liner notes:
In the early summer of '93, we produced HR5, a 5-song promotional disc for radio stations only. The idea was to spotlight a side of Happy Rhodes that programmers might not be familiar with. The response was phenomenal, especially to Happy's acoustic cover of the Bowie classic, "Ashes To Ashes", and her own "Tribute Version" of her hit "Feed The Fire." As the airplay of HR5 grew and grew, so did the demand for these songs to be relased commercially. Hence, "RhodeSongs".
The idea behind "RhodeSongs" is to give a retrospective glimpse of of Happy's recording history to the thousands of new listeners HR5 has created and to make available these unique acoustic versions and a few added surprises, to her long-standing legion of fans and supporters. Lastly, it must be noted that for the sake of continuity, all these selections depict the quieter side of an artist whose range is unbounded.....ENJOY!
