John Oates is moving on from Hall and Oates with the solo LP 'Reunion' and a stripped down theater tour where he'll play songs new and old.
‘ professional career, solo work was a means to keep busy and creatively fulfilled between the Hall & Oates projects that took up most of his time. But now that the duo hasafter more than 50 years of partnership, Oates has the time to concentrate all his energies on his own music, beginning with his new LPThe album is the culmination of years of work and features original compositions he wrote with A.J. Croce, Keith Sykes, Jim Lauderdale, Joe Henry, and Adam Ezra.
Oates decided to cover John Prine’s 2005 song “Long Monday” after being invited to perform at a tribute show to the songwriter at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. It brought his mind all the way back to the recording of 1972’s“We would literally cross paths with John in the studio, coming in and out of that amazing Atlantic studio in New York by Columbus Circle,” says Oates. “That’s where so many of these incredible hits and amazing records by Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles were recorded.
“I thought, ‘I wonder what’s going to happen if people maybe don’t recognize my voice due to the fact that Daryl’s voice is such a signature of the Hall & Oates big hits?” he says.
