After 50 great years of being one-half of the iconic Hall & Oates, John Oates is spending more quality time reflecting on his own true gift of song. His second full-length release since 2018, Reunion , reflects on life, love, and the afterlife in a bluegrass, folksy, country-sound way that truly represents his intricate guitar-playing, beautiful voice, and of course, his amazing lyrical storytelling. He collabed with A.J. Croce (son of the legendary Jim Croce) on the title-track, "Reunion," as well as some of Nashville's greatest session players, such as guitarists Guthrie Trapp, Russ Pahl, Tom Bukovac, and bassist Steve Mackey.
