Pacific Northwest isolation mixed with wide-eyed 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, DreaminÆ 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
blink-and-you-missed-it 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.
Spurred on their high schoolÆs music program, Donnie and Joe
received a further push from their lifelong farmer father, who
drew up a contract stating that heÆd support his sons lofty
ambitions with their very own recording studio as long as they
focused on original material, sage advice for a man with zero
experience in the music business. After taking out a second
mortgage to help cover costs, Don Sr. also built his children a
300-capacity concert hall (dubbed Camp JamminÆ) replete with
ticket booth, stage, and fully functioning snack bar. The only
problem was that the projected audience never quite
materialized, despite a prime time TV profile entitled ôThe
Rock And Roll Farmersö from nearby Spokane, Washington. Even
the Emerson brotherÆs school pals were nonplussed at their
privately pressed long player; hand distributed to local music
stores, but not as far as Seattle, five hours away from their
rural home. Somewhat rejected by the muted response, but never
surrendering, both Donnie and Joe continued down a musical path
and are still active as performers today.
This rare slice of bedroom-funk gets the usual Light In The
Attic treatment with newly remastered audio, detailed liner
notes, and expanded original album art with loads of photos
from the EmersonÆs collection. Be sure to also check out the
short documentary (above), Rock and Roll Farmers.
