Editorial Reviews :
VH-1's Behind the Music may signify the final curtain for some acts, but Hall and Oates aren't so easily confined to the dustbins of pop history. With a chart run that spanned most of the '70s and '80s, Philadelphia's most enduring purveyors of blue-eyed soul went on to keep a fairly low profile until 'Do It for Love,' a newly recorded track for their 2002 VH-1 retrospective, crept up to the top of the adult contemporary charts. Nearly a year later, the duo reprises the track and title on a full album that aims to recapture the best aspects of their glory days. Among its highlights are a sublime cover of New Radical's 'Someday We'll Know' that teams them up with War Babies collaborator Todd Rundgren, and the funky 'Miss DJ,' a playful pop confection that avoids the excessive novelty of their more calculated '80s hits. After three decades, Hall's remains one of pop's most expressive voices. And while the album as a whole may lack the edge and energy of the pair's earliest work, it's still a promising collection from a rock duo that's earned a place in Philly soul history. --Bill Forman
Buyer Reviews :
It's amazing, this South Philly pair, continues to compose and perform music, that is as relevant today, as it was, thirty years ago. The first five tunes on this CD, are worth the price of admission. While it's obvious, Hall & T-Bone are the production architects behind this CD, it has always been Oates, who has supplied the glue, that has fueled the longevity of this musical journey. It's hard to think of another Duo, that has continually generated noteworthy music throughout their careers.
While this CD doesn't capture the innocence of 'Abandoned Luncheonette, or the maturity of 'Big Bam Boom', it dose reaffirm this Duo's creative evolution.
The inclusion of Oates 'Love In A Dangerous Time', about the Aides crisis, originally written in the early nineties, is as valid today, when, you juxtapose the soundings of war in the air.
While none of us are what we were in our youth, Hall & Oates still exhibit, the passion for making very good music.
