Emitt is playing his Martin D-25 I believe.

@cedbenson That's unfair for Emitt Rhodes was a great, lost talent! Some critics even favorably compared him with Paul McCartney! He deserves to be known again!
-
Or am i confusing " Isn't It So?"
-
And by the way I spoke with Emitt about this album (he lives in Hawthorne) and he said this was released in 1983 ... a guy wanted to re-promote Emitt but he was fired the next morning for wanting to do so..

Emitt has a much slower release pf Tame the Lion, but it is much slower. I guess he wrote two songs with the same name. The slower version is on his "Farewell to Paradise" album.

@RockabillyRevAndrew This is my sons account. He's only 22 and of course would have never heard of this. lol I'm Diane.

This song didn't come out until 1971!
Emitt didn't record and release his first album until 1970

I heard this song once in the sixties driving home with my parents. I called every radio station in Chicago to try to find out what it was and who sang it. All I could remember was the lyrics "Tame the lion". Wow, it's like a flashback to the sixties. Thanks for posting it, it closed a chapter in my life. I've always wondered about this song for over 40 years!!!!

I heard this on the radio while visiting California in the 70's. When I got home, I called all the stations to request it. No one had heard of it. Not the dj's or my friends. They thought I meant The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Over the years, I would ask people if they had heard this song. Nope. All I remembered was the name and it came out about the same time as Gilbert O'Sullivans "Alone again, Naturally." Although I remember it being slower, THANK YOU for posting this to prove I'm not insane.

@RockabillyRevAndrew it's a great song, I just wish the lyrics weren't so specific to the Vietnam War so that it could be relevant to other later conflicts as well. If I were Rhodes I would have written the lyrics to be more general.
