LOS ANGELES, July 31, 2020\u2014Rock & Roll Hall of Famer John Oates has had a home in Nashville for more than a decade, performing with some of the city\u2019s most sought-after musicians. John\u2019s Thirty Tigers debut, Arkansas<\/em>, performed with The Good Road Band, was released in 2018, proving a critical and commercial success in the Americana and roots community, a combination of originals with classic songs popularized by Mississippi John Hurt, Jimmy Rodgers and Don Gibson. 
After two-plus solid years of honing their chops through touring, that group \u2013 mandolin stalwart Sam Bush, pedal steel maestro Russ Pahl (Dan Auerbach), electric guitar whiz Guthrie Trapp, expert bassist Steve Mackay, cello prodigy Nate Smith (Kacey Musgraves) and drummer\/percussionist extraordinaire Josh \u201cDaddy\u201d Day \u2013 returns intact for Live In Nashville<\/em>, set for release on September 18 on all major digital streaming platforms. The set was recorded last January 9 at Station Inn, the legendary intimate listening room in The Gulch section of Nashville where the band first took shape. 
\u201cThis album represents a full-circle moment for me,\u201d said John, in quarantine with his family in his adopted Music City home. \u201cIt feels like the culmination of the Arkansas project, being able to bring these guys back, and to be able to make this record after touring and playing so many shows together.\u201d 
Inspired by Mississippi John Hurt, Live in Nashville<\/em> features songs like the gospel-blues opener, \u201cLord Send Me,\u201d the Delta blues of the standard \u201cStack o Lee\u201d and an electrified take on \u201cMake Me a Pallet on Your Floor,\u201d dubbed \u201cPallet Soft and Low,\u201d where John manages to show off some of his well-honed rock guitar skills. In yet another \u201cfull circle moment,\u201d John pays tribute to his own childhood with a cover of Don Gibson\u2019s \u201cOh Lonesome Me,\u201d the first song he learned to sing and play on guitar as a six-year-old after hearing it on the radio. Several of the songs come with Oates\u2019 own stories about the songs, connecting the dots as to their connections, including popular hits of the era like the Mississippi Sheiks\u2019 1930 success, \u201cSittin\u2019 on Top of the World,\u201d Emmett Miller\u2019s 1924 breakthrough, \u201cAnytime\u201d and Jimmy Rogers\u2019 1932 classic, \u201cMiss the Mississippi and You.\u201d <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Watch “Anytime” HERE<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was always fascinated by this rural Americana Appalachian music, which opened the door for me to John Lee Hooker and other blues artists long before the British Invasion turned kids on to them. I always preferred the originals myself.\u201d 
Live in Nashville<\/em> traces how country, blues and gospel bubbled up from Mississippi and New Orleans and landed in northern urban cities like Chicago, St. Louis, and New York. John describes the sound as, \u201cDixieland, dipped in bluegrass, and salted with Delta blues.\u201d 
\u201cSomething magical happened,\u201d said John about his first time playing with The Good Road Band in the studio. \u201cThe thing you pray for, but so rarely achieve. My producer just said, \u2018I don\u2019t know what this is, John, but keep doing it because it\u2019s cool.\u2019\u201d 
Live in Nashville<\/em> shows what they are capable of on any given night, and in lieu of being able to see them in concert, this is the next best thing.
\u201cThis experience has made me a better player,\u201d said John referring to what he’s learned with his work in Daryl Hall and John Oates. \u201cPlaying with this caliber of musicians has really elevated my game and my ability to play guitar. As a musician, it helps me articulate what I need to do in a better way. I\u2019m an improved singer, my vocal chops are stronger. For Daryl and I, our writing styles are totally predicated on how good we are as singers and musicians. I\u2019ve been working my ass off. There\u2019s nothing like touring to keep you sharp.\u201d 
Live in Nashville<\/em> offers concrete proof of that. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
