Michael Rhodes was born way down south in Monroe, LA, where country, Cajun, and blues music was a part of every day life. In the '70s he headed to Memphis to work with Charlie Rich's son, Alan Rich. Some time spent in Nashville earned Rhodes a job as a demo musician and then as a session player. Over the many years since then, Michael Rhodes has lent his bass talents to the recordings of numerous artists, including many chart-toppers from the '90s, like Neal McCoy, Chely Wright, Doug Stone, Wynonna Judd, the Dixie Chicks, Reba McEntire, Tanya Tucker, Dolly Parton, Randy Travis, Faith Hill, and many other country greats.
