Rock N Roll Farmers: Donnie & Joe Emerson



I've reached the point with Donnie & Joe Emerson's song "Baby" where I know it will always and forever remind of Summer 2012. 


Growing up on a farm outside of Spokane, WA, the Emerson brothers  wrote and recorded "Dreamin' Wild" (79') in a shanty their Dad built out on the land. Who doesn't like a story like that? They received virtually no commercial success, but somehow managed to make themselves look like superstars with custom white jumpsuits and Scott Baio hair. 


Light in the Attic just reissued this gem and also made a supplementary 7 min doc on the brothers.
