Everytime I Look at You by Hall & Oates
So, I am old fashioned. I don't have an I-Pod and my car still has one of those "CD players" in it. And the CD I find myself returning to the most, depspite the fact that I have well over 200 CDs...
Daryl Hall and John Oates 1974 opus dei, "Abandoned Luncheonette."
Nix whatever you think about Hall and Oates. You are thinking , oh lame 80s band with cheesy synth riffs. Yes they were, but before that they were a soul band. And oh so good! This album is great. It has withstood the test of time and it beats anything on the airwaves today. Lame rappers who rip off Kraftwerk riffs etc. Fuck that shit!
Viva Hall and Oates!!
The last track on this album is "Everytime I Look at You." IT starts out oh so funky. A man scorned. He sings. Rock on Daryl. The riffs are funky with some pop tinges, but after a few minutes it really breaks down into hard funk...then without warning the fiddle and the banjo!!! You don't believe me. Believe me! This is so good and it works. I first heard it on old vinyl. It was instantly my fave. I still love it and I often wonder what their first album sounds like. I guess I might have to scour ebay for a copy.
Good thing I hung onto my CD player
