Fresh as a Daisy

Rhodes wrote it and plays and sings everything. It ends side one at 2:46, was recorded in 1970 in his parents' garage studio in Hawthorne, and was the lead single, reaching 54 on the Hot 100 and 69 in Australia, with about nine weeks on the chart. Tape Op says it barely missed the top 40, loose phrasing for a peak of 54. Cover Me Songs describes it as his most successful solo single, and a 1998 Edsel compilation is named after it, Daisy-Fresh from Hawthorne, California. The only cover we found is by Ragamuffin, an obscure UK act, on the B-side of "Can I Have My Money Back", included on Mixed Up Minds, Pt. 5, with no date. We found no comment from Rhodes on the lyric, no video and no setlist data.
