5.0 out of 5 stars John Oates - even better than expected December 28, 2008
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased the first solo album which I liked.
John has lived in Daryl's song writing shadow far too long. But not any longer!
In this second release his work is wonderful.
The songs are rich in meaning and strong in the melody.
I cannot pass this opportunity to say that John has endured the years better than Daryl.
In the 'Live at the Troubadoor' dvd I didnt like the obvious put down of John by Daryl in the performance. As professional performers their own feelings for each other should always be kept for the back stage area.
Nevertheless I would recommend this cd to anyone who has admired John over his outstanding career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally November 1, 2008
Format:Audio CD
Finally, a great solo album from John Oates. In this his sophomore attempt he has proven that he can sing with the best of the,and does on this album. Every song is a masterpiece. "Spinning Down" is my personal favorite. It hasn't been removed from my car CD player yet!! Give it a listen.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a "Phunk Shui II" October 26, 2008
By TomAzon
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Another mainly acoustic offering by half of the best duo in music. This album, recorded in Nashville, has a decidedly rock-bluesy feel to it and an occasional steel guitar weaving which really makes me think John would make some dynamite country music. (Hey, if the Osmond Brothers did it)...

Best songs are "1000 Miles of Life" and "The Good Son". John also re-makes 1990's "Change of Season" from the title track of that Hall & Oates album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good to hear from you John...
...This album is a bit more acoustic than Mr. Oates prior release PS and quite frankly about 180 degrees different (not that different is a bad thing at all). Read more
