John Oates

The year

before, I saw John Oates of Hall & Oates.

Yeah.

We just had Roger McGuinn, the founder of the Byrds.

When did you realize that you and Henry were speaking partners? Because my little girl's in here with me right now, Jazzy, who I call my disaster artist.

But the thing about it is, though, is that she's my Daryl Hall to my John Oates.

So Henry is a real dog.

So was my dog.

am Daryl Hall.

And I am John Oates.

And together we are

Huey Lewis and the News.

And it's like you say, it's just perfectly... pieced together as only toto can do so big fan of that pick my number two is a group that my mum really liked when i was young and it definitely rubbed off on me from their album big boom bang which was released in 1984 this is out of touch by hall and oats i actually really hope we get to do their discography at some point in the next few months even the name of the album though qualifies this as cheese right an awful album name yeah you know this is very much in their philly soul wheelhouse but it's less sappy or funky than most of their other big hits it's just fairly straight ahead i love listening to it with headphones though there's a lot going on with the arrangement, which builds from this very simple synth line and drums into this really full production where you have like four or five synth lines all intertwining and creating this whole, which is really satisfying.

I think John Oates guitar work is really tasteful.

Darryl Hall is never one to do understated, but he does reel it in a little bit here and let the melody do the work because it's such a strong melody and that catchy chorus of you're out of touch.

I'm out of time, but I'm out of my head when you're not around.

I'm in South Carolina.

Well, vacation is kind of like a – I am here for a Portia show that's going on this evening around John Oates, who is performing at an event here at Palmetto Bluff, which is where I am.

And a good friend of mine puts on this event called Music with Friends at the Bluff.

And five or six times, maybe more a year, they hold these concerts that are underneath this equestrian pavilion and they get great acts.

And this time around with John Oates, they asked if we could...

if I could bring some cars down and we do a little show, you know, ahead of the event.

So awesome.

maybe.

Touch and go.

Next up, Daryl Hall and Jon Oates with one of their early hits.

They're covering The Righteous Brothers on You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling.

You never close your eyes.
