The RocknRoll Farmers Donnie Joe Emerson (2012)

From Light In The Attic Records Baby has been a staple on just about every playlistmixtape Ive assembled in the past 3 years It is nothing short of sublime Ariel Pink Pacific Northwest isolation mixed with wideeyed ambition a strong sense of family and the gift of music proved to be quite the combination for teenage brothers Donnie and Joe Emerson Originally released in 1979 Dreamin Wild is the sonic vision of the talented Emerson boys recorded in a family built home studio in rural Washington State Situated in the unlikely blinkandyoumissedit town of Fruitland and far removed from the late 1970s punk movement and the larger disco boom Donnie and Joe tilled their own musical soil channeling bedroom pop jams raw funk and yacht rock
