Biography
[edit]Rhodes was born in Monroe, Louisiana, and taught himself to play the guitar by age 13 and the bass soon after. In the early 1970s, Rhodes moved to Austin, Texas, where he performed with local bands. Four years later, Rhodes moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where he performed with Charlie Rich's son Alan.[1]
In 1977, Rhodes moved to Nashville, and he joined local band The Nerve with Ricky Rector and Danny Rhodes. He worked as a demo musician for Tree Publishing Company, and then as a session player.[2]
Rhodes joined Rodney Crowell, Steuart Smith, Eddie Bayers, and Vince Santoro in the Cicadas.[3] They recorded one album in 1997, but had been playing together for more than a decade.[4] Rhodes was also a member of The Notorious Cherry Bombs, with Crowell, Bayers, Vince Gill, Hank DeVito, and Richard Bennett.[5]
Rhodes has contributed to the recordings of numerous artists, including Neal McCoy, Chely Wright,[6] Pat McLaughlin[7] Doug Stone, Wynonna Judd, Steve Winwood,[8] Larry Carlton,[9] the Dixie Chicks, Reba McEntire, Tanya Tucker, Hank Williams, Jr., Rosanne Cash, Vince Gill, J.J. Cale, Dolly Parton, Randy Travis, Faith Hill, Toby Keith, and Kenny Chesney.[1][10]
He was an active sideman in recordings and touring of Joe Bonamassa.
Rhodes was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2019.
Rhodes died on March 4, 2023, at the age of 69[11] of pancreatic cancer.[12]
