Steel guitariste
US né Orville J. Rhodes le 30 Décembre 1930 à Alton (Illinois).
Red Rhodes est décédé le 20 Août 1995 à Los Angeles (Californie).
Red Rhodes
was one of the most versatile steel guitarists in country music. Born Orville J.
Rhodes in East Alston, IL, his mother taught him to play the dobro when he was
only five; at 15, he switched to the lap steel guitar, using a homemade stand.
He played his first professional gig alongside his stepfather before moving to
L.A. in 1960 to do session work. Eight years later, he was one of the most in-demand
sessionmen on the West Coast and played with artists like the Byrds. Rhodes and
his band played at the Palomino in L.A. during the late '60s and worked on
various Michael Nesmith sessions, which led to occassional work as a steel
player for the Monkees. He remained with Nesmith through both incarnations of
the group, and continued his session work throughout the '70s, appearing with
James Taylor, John Phillips, the Carpenters, Carole King, Chilli Willi & the Red
Hot Peppers, and Seals & Crofts. He has released a few solo albums, including
Red Rhodes' Steel Guitar (1979) and Fantastic Steel Guitar (1980). Rhodes'
playing was limited in the '80s and early '90s by the rheumatoid arthritis that
affected the use of his hands. He devoted his time instead to his amp shop,
occasionally making appearances at the International Steel Guitar Festival. In
1995, he played on Nesmith's Tropical Campfires album and toured with him.
Shortly after he completed the tour, he fell ill, succumbing to interstitial
lung fibrosis on August 20, 1995.
