Episode 23.15: The Many Traveled Rhodes

from Out of the Main · host Tom Nixon and John Nixon

What would yacht rock be without the Rhodes electric piano? Or, put another way, what would the Rhodes be without yacht rock? John and Tom examine the history, the technology, the evolution and the allure of the Fender Rhodes — a hallmark of the West Coast sound. We compare and contrast with the Wurlitzer and the Yamaha DX7 that, by all accounts, replaced the Rhodes for a bit.
