Rhodes II (1986) is the second album by American singer-songwriter Happy Rhodes.

[edit] Overview

Her first four albums were not conceived and recorded as album releases, but were a gathering together of songs recorded at Cathedral Sound Studios from 1984 to 1986. When fellow musician Kevin Bartlett offered to release Rhodes' songs on his cassette-only personal label Aural Gratification, Rhodes culled through the songs she had recorded and ordered them to her satisfaction.

Rhodes I and Rhodes II are often considered to be a double album by fans because the songs are similar in musical style and lyrical subject matter.

Originally released as a cassette tape, each copy sold was a 1 to 1 real-time dub. Rhodes II was released on CD in 1992 with additional tracks.
