Song of the Day 5/27: Emitt Rhodes, “You Should Be Ashamed”

This one’s for all the people who think that gun violence can be curtailed by doing anything other than restricting access to guns.

The song, released on Rhodes’ eponymous 1970 LP, is a good example of why people thought this was actually Paul McCartney recording incognito. Rhodes’ three early ’70s albums made him a cult figure, as did his retreat to producing after his label sued him over his slow(!) one-LP-per-year output, which was rather incredible considering Rhodes did everything — writing, producing, playing all instruments — by hiimself.
