Late at night, when it's all quiet, the lights are low, cocktail in hand, nothing hits the spot like old organ records - cool, creepy, atmospheric...wistfully nostalgic and romantic, but with a darkness. Best played low in the background. Aaah...This album sounds like the way it's '40s-ish noir album cover looks, only it was recorded in the late '60s/early '70s. Mr. Rhodes was clearly way out of step with the psychedelic generation, which isn't too surprising: according to his bio (the only thing on the 'net I could find about the guy) he went on to play with Lawrence Welk and made Christian records with his wife.

I featured other occult organs on my "Strange Interludes" collection.
This has been another fine windbag contribution.

yer velcome. I kept his C&W organ album AND IT SUCKS--tombstone cover art, too! One might also try a Columbia Lp, circa 1963, by Hank Turner (C&W skating rink organ album). Windy
Country/western organ music? had no idea such a thing even existed...
Wow, Mediafire links are killing me! Your Strange Interludes is fatastic and I'm sure this is perfect too!
