Emitt Rhodes's self-titled sophomore album was released in 1970. Rhodes recorded the album in his home studio, but at the time, union rules required that recordings released on major labels be recorded in commercial studios, so this fact could not be mentioned on the cover. Instead. The runout groove of the original LP release on Dunhill Records contained a decorative banner proclaiming, "Recorded at Home." Rhodes wanted to call the album Homecooking, but Dunhill decided to title it Emitt Rhodes. He recorded the instruments on a four-track recorder and then approached Dunhill, who gave him a contract. He then transferred the four-track instrumental recordings to an eight-track recorder to add the vocals. The album reached No. 29 on the Billboard 200 and single "Fresh as a Daisy" reached No. 54 on the Hot 100. Billboard later called the album one of the "best albums of the decade".
