As one half of one of the best selling duos of all time,
John Oates needs little introduction. But for his recent solo project Mississippi
Mile, Oates took a departure, exploring American roots music, R&B and
folk blues -- the sounds that first made him want to become a musician while
growing up outside Philadelphia.
He’s
backed by his own band for a set comprised of songs he calls his “musical
biography,” including R&B standards like “It’s All Right,” a minor key
reworking of “All Shook Up,” and a surprisingly retooled version of the Hall
& Oates classic “Dreams Come True.”
You can preview Oates’ set here via the
Mountain Stage Song of the Week, and you can get an even longer look at each of
our guests this week from our Backstage at Mountain Stage videos.
John Oates tells Larry Groce that he wasn't born with a mustache singing Maneater.
